Never mind, in the meantime I got some external USB harddisks, created a 1.1TB software RAID (have you seen a RAID over 4 IDE and 3 USB disks? :-)), copied the partition over and successfully recovered the data. This brings us back to the beginning: IMHO having the option to mount reiserfs read-only comes sometimes very useful. Apart from emergency situations, the size of USB mass storage devices is getting big enough to consider putting better filesystem (instead of VFAT) on them. Many of these devices have hardware switches to make them read-only, and therefore unmountable at the current state of affairs. After clean unmount, you do not need a journal to replay, and since you indend to mount the fs read only, you do not need a journal at all. XFS can do it with -o norecovery,ro, why reiserfs can't? -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | Radovan Garab�k http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/ | | __..--^^^--..__ garabik @ melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk | ----------------------------------------------------------- Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.
