All seemed fine, until I noticed that my nightly cron job that runs the
Gentoo emerge program to check for software updates was failing. After
investigating I discovered that a number of directories were missing.
That is, they appeared when using 'ls' with no options, but using 'ls
-l' produced multiple 'No such file or directory' results.
Now it appears I'm unable to remove those directories. 'rm -f <filename>' doesn't work, and rmdir reports the directory isn't empty. I can rename the directory, but that doesn't fix the apparent corruption in the filesystem. Also, fsck.reiser4 doesn't report any problems.
Not used resier4 myself, but this looks like an effect I had on reiser3 when the filesystem had gone bad, the only solution I found then was a --rebuild-tree with reiserfsck.
