Good suggestion, Wolfgang. I did manage to recover a very small number of useful files that way. I didn't back up the partition because it is just too big to have hanging around taking up disk space. The reiserfsck man page says that if you have used a repartioning tool you need to find the correct start of the partition. I had guessed that it would be where it was before, but it looks like I was wrong. What I cannot find anywhere is any instructions on how actually to find the start of the partition. If anyone knows the answer then please post it. It won't help me, but it might help someone else with the same problem. Thanks Robert -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
