Re: [Cooker] Royally messed up file permissions! (was: file commandhas b0rked permissions on magic files)
In case anyone is curious, the newer reiserfsck from Cooker was able to fix my file system. --check ran and told me I had to run --rebuild-tree, which repaired the problem. Thanks to all. -- Steve Fox http://k-lug.org

I was going to just reinstall, but I have to back things up anyways, so I'll do as you suggest. I'm not normally a kernel space bug reporter, but after your words of encouragement, I will see this through and report the situation to Hans (and hope he doesn't call me stupid).

Doing a fsck on the disk won't catch it all the time in a hardware case. Ugh. I think I'll try to run badblocks on it tonight after I have a chance to backup my $HOME.

These are just /usr/include/gtk+1.2 and /etc/magic directories (so far anyways) Even better yet. I boot off the 8.2 CD and enter rescue mode. I run reiserfsck /dev/hda7 and it goes on it's merry way, finding some bad symlinks (mostly header files) and then it segfaults. Lovely. I think I'm going to reinstall with ext3. I'll read the read of your long post later :) ...I'm too upset right now :( -- Steve Fox http://k-lug.org When i think of the OpenBSD commiters, I picture the two old muppets that sit in the theater and gripe at everyone - mrx, on BlueNet
