Wednesday evening, my computer started giving weird errors. ls in a busy 
directory showed lots of garbled filenames. Within an hour it was unbootable. 
I called a friend and we went and swapped drives around; the computer 
wouldn't recognize either drive, and he suspected a motherboard problem. 
Today I got a loaner and put the drives in it; it recognized them both and 
booted right up. reiserfsck -x, however, showed lots of crosslinked files and 
other errors I don't understand. Attempting to cat .procmailrc hung cat. So I 
ran reiserfsck --rebuild-tree, which has worked for me before, and it made 
the filesystem unbootable. -x claims that lots of bitmaps are wrong. I 
haven't yet gotten the latest reiserfsck. The one I have is 3.x.0i from 
Mandrake 8.0 or 8.1. The reiserfs version in the kernel is 3.6.25; the 
filesystem is 3.5.x. Can I use debugreiserfs -p to dump the tree and recreate 
the filesystem on another disk?
