Hello!
I've finally bothered to reiserfsck my 600MB ReiserFS root partition on a Pentium 166. I typed: mount / -o remount,ro reiserfsck -ixo /dev/hda6 (or something along those lines...note that I had to mount root as read-only instead of booting from the mandrake CD (whereby root would not be mounted at all) because the mandrake CD didn't boot properly for some reason). Anyway, I get the following output: > Will read-only check consistency of the partition > Will fix what can be fixed w/o --rebuild-tree > Will put log info to 'stderr' > Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes):Yes > Filesystem seems mounted read-only.

In particular the last one (really long - so long that I hate to shorten it down for this email). 1. So how do I fix these problems? 2. If ReiserFS is a journaling filesystem, then how come these errors could occur? 3. e2fsck was always easier... Many thanks, pesarif
