While some files have "dissapeared" into lost+found (which means they need to be recatagorized or something, including everything in /boot), the remainder of the files (maybe 94% of them or so) are now readable. I have no idea whether or not this is considered "progress". Probably now have to go sort them by magic or something, with filenames like "25740_124378" on them. Anyways, thanks very much for your help, you've done a great job with reiserfs. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable.
