Hi, Finally got my new HDD (300 GB UDMA133 :D no usb anymore ..) i backed up my data and ran reiserfsck on one of the other partitions which were supposedly damaged. it didn't work out (stopped at same point always)
then i made a backup copy of my backup copy and ran reiserfsck on that and it worked just fine. -> it seems that my filesystems never had errors in the first place but running reiserfsck on my USB hdd caused the problems in the first place. fortunately i could recover all my digital camera photos (which i will definitely back up on DVD from now on! some mp3's lost the filenames but who really cares about that anyway. i suggest adding to the reiserfsck docs that running it on usb-hdds might cause problems due to usb hdd driver bugs or whatever .. or at least a note that if it fails on usb-hdd copy it to a non usb hdd and try again. Regards, Thomas R P.S.: I never enforced bandwidth allocation. but i still dont' know what the problem is with this stupid USB2 storage stuffs .. it worked fine with some old kernel (either early 2.6 or still 2.4 ..) any ideas what can cause this kind of problems with usb hdds? or should i post to some kernel mailing list/newsgroup? -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- GCS/CC/E/M/MU/S d- s: a--- C++++(++) UL++++ P+ L++++ E W+++ N+++ o-- K w-- O M-- V- PS+ PE-- Y++ PGP+++ t+++ 5+ X- R tv b++++ DI- D+ G++ e-->+++++ h-- !r z- ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ On Thu, October 20, 2005 19:55, michael chang said: > On 10/19/05, Thomas Raschbacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Actually I did send it SIGUSR1 signals to get the progress so it really >> seems to work fine. >> I intend to get another HDD (internal) and see if i can copy the FS and >> then fix it there. >> how would I best copy the filesystem?
