Er... I confess it was just a hunch, I did run --check but as I recall it did not tell me to, it did say there were corruptions in any case. The filesystem needed fixing and fix-fixable seemed less drastic than rebuild... (The undeletable files were basically a thorn in my eye and I just wanted to be sure there were no corruptions other than these clearly visible ones). > > Did reiserfsck finish its work or (was)stopped/failed?

I'd probably be better using some standard, tested reiserfsck-binaries over my own this time I suppose? Thanks a lot, Vitaly. - Gerrit
