Hello, I'm running Debian with these packages installed:
ii reiser4progs 0.5.3-1 ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 ii libncurses5 5.4-3 ii libreadline4 4.3-10 ii libuuid1 1.35-4 The kernel is a kernel.org 2.6.5 kernel patched with the http://thebsh.namesys.com/snapshots/LATEST/all.diff.gz patch and an additional patch that was sent to this list (Subject: "Re: snapshot 2004.03.26 + linux 2.6.5 = build error"). I decided to fsck my Reiser4 backup partition, which happens to be on an LVM2 Logical Volume: --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/sys/backup VG Name sys LV UUID boifcf-z605-EHXl-0zi7-CdW6-vpwk-35XsJ2 LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 8.00 GB Current LE 256 Segments 2 Allocation next free (default) Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 254:7 fsck failed however, with the following warning (sorry about the line wrapping): ============================================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] # fsck /dev/sys/backup fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) ******************************************************************* This is an EXPERIMENTAL version of fsck.reiser4.

What can I do to fix this? Or isn't my filesystem broken in the first place? Could it be a problem with fsck.reiser4? If you need more information, please let me know. Thanks, Ray P.S. How about all these spelling errors in fsck's output? ;)
