Hi there,
i am very new to this list, i just signed up today, because i got some
problems with a broken ReiserFS since yesterday.
_The problem_
Yesterday my Router/Server (Suse Linux 8.1, 40GB IDE HDD with ReiserFS)
hang up. After a reboot it only starts to "load stage2 of Grub", which
fails and ends up in the grub minimal bash.
_What i do to resolve the problem_
I downloaded the Suse Live-CD 9.1 and did a clean boot from it. I Try to
mount the volume, what end up with "Falscher Dateisystemtyp, ungültige
Optionen, der »Superblock« von /dev/hdb2 ist beschädigt oder es sind
zu viele Dateisysteme eingehängt" (=corrupt superblock)
Then I tried reiserFs Check wich ends up in: Bad root block 0.
(--rebuild-tree did not complete).
Ok, i followed the instructions in the following "bad block info text"
and did a reiserFs -B badblocksfile --rebuild-tree. Wich aborts and said
"badblock in ....".
Right now i am doing a complete Backup image with dd_rescue, after this
i would like to run /sbin/badblocks, as explained in the Faq
(http://www.namesys.com/bad-block-handling.html) and run then reiserfs
-B again.
_My Questions_
- Am i right in doing these actions to try to resolve the problem of my
harddisk, and HOPEFULLY to recover the Data?
- Is there anything i should try/do else?
- Do you now somebody/any company, wich do a real data-recovering von
ReiserFS Disk? Its only 40GB but there are some data on it wich are very
important. (don't ask after the backups, they broke last week on the
extern hdd! :(( )
Hopefully you guys can help me,
thanks a lot!!!! :)
Lars
