so at no time was there any file system corruption?
It appears that way. I hesitate to say for sure, I could have missed it when I booted, but like I said, there is nothing in my logs that would indicate that fsck found anything wrong. I did, however forget to
does reiserfs use lost+found? if so, check in it for each mounted filesystem.
mention this error I got the last time I ran lilo(yesterday).
