bug report

[Howard Shane]

Hi,

Your warning displayed when starting reiserfsck recommended a bug report when the program exits with an error or fails. I have a Maxtor 60 gb drive that I have had problems with for the last couple of days. Upon accessing a certain directory, whatever program I'm using (ls, file manager, dump) freezes, at which point I can't access anything on the mountpoint. I get the following error on running reiserfsck (debian reiserfsprogs 3.6.4):

reiserfsck --check started at Mon Dec 2 13:22:46 2002
###########
Replaying journal..
0 transactions replayed
Checking internal tree../ 86 (of 88)/ 23 (of 170)
The problem has occurred looks like a hardware problem.
Check your hard drive for badblocks.

bread: Cannot read the block (22148).

When trying --rebuild-tree:

reiserfsck --rebuild-tree started at Mon Dec 2 13:28:59 2002
###########

Pass 0:
Loading on-disk bitmap .. ok, 4893046 blocks marked used
Skipping 8656 blocks (super block, journal, bitmaps) 4884390 blocks will be read
0% left 4884389, 0 /se left 4873744, 5323 /sec

...at which point reiserfsck freezes completely. I have already backed up the data on this disk, so I don't need any support, and since it looks like a hardware problem I will try reformatting the disk next. Hope this info is of some help.

PS, I have used ext2, ext3 and xfs and think that Reiserfs is by far the best high performance filesystem out there. Keep up the great work.
