Reiserfsck without -S said it would scan roughly half of my disk. That led me to conclude that whatever it does, it doesn't just use the blocks which are actually used for the tree at the moment. How does reiserfsck determine which blocks contain leaf nodes, anyway? -- Matthias Urlichs | noris network AG | http://smurf.noris.de/
