I have no knowlegde about the reiserfs internals, but here's just a general advice - if you have sufficient free storage, use dd to backup your partition e.g. into an image file and run reiserfsck on this backup image-file as much as you want. Otherwise, assuming Sasha is following the common russian holidays, he should be back next week or the week after. Btw, that brings me up to an interesting question to the reiser folks. Here are the edge conditions: - one has a damaged partition as Brian has and it cannot be repaired - one backups this partion into an image file on a reiser3.6 partion - the "host" reiser3.6 partition has no other files, only this image file - now run 'reiserfsck --rebuild-tree --scan-whole-partition" on the "host" partition ==> Would this bring back the files into the "host" partition? Cheers, Bernd
