(note dmesg follows message) Out of 12 partitions in my setup 8 are reiserfs. During bootup I see them go by being checked, but always the last one /dev/hda11 fails with this message:
fsck could not repair all errors .... And drops me into the repair shell. This has happened over several kernels and for mnths. I finally just took to C-d to finish booting. This is after stopping to reiserfsck /dev/hda11 many times. It always passes with no error messages. Oddly, the drive is always mounted once boot is complete (I mean even when I just press Ctrl-d to by-pass fixing.) And no problems read/write to it occur. I finally reformatted /dev/hda11 to ext3. Now the last reiserfs partition that shows up in boot messages is /dev/hda9 and it fails the same way. These facts lead me to believe it isn't really a reiserfs failure at all but something earlier that just shows up at that point, but I cannot fathom out what. dmesg: Linux version 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1-r1)) #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 10:39:54 CDT 2006 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000007fff0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000007fff0000 - 000000007fff8000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 000000007fff8000 - 0000000080000000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 00000000fec00000 - 00000000fec01000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fee00000 - 00000000fee01000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fff00000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) 1151MB HIGHMEM available. 896MB LOWMEM available. found SMP MP-table at 000fc0f0 On node 0 totalpages: 524272 DMA zone: 4096 pages, LIFO batch:0 Normal zone: 225280 pages, LIFO batch:31 HighMem zone: 294896 pages, LIFO batch:31 DMI 2.3 present.
