Please try to check the fs with a current version of reiserfsprogs
first. As the manpage advises, try --check first and use
--rebuild-tree only if you know what you're doing, IOW: have a current
backup.
Over the past few years, i experienced a few reiser corruption on
various hardware (dell, hp, asus, sata, scsi, ide...) with the same
symptoms (unredable file/dir).
Always ran check which told me to run fix-fixable or rebuild-tree, which
I did after ensuring of backup reliability, and the error was corrected
(after eventually losing a few files i fortunately had in the backups).
Also, which kernel/machine is this running on? Do you know *why* this
corruption may have occured? Any recent hardware issues? Is ther
anything in the logs regarding fs/device errors?
Kernel is 2.6.19.
The machine does not seem to have any HW issue, nothing strange in the
logs..... :$
This is just a plain Dell 2650 server with a bunch of SCSI HDD, software
raid5 array, reiserfs on top of it.
