[expert] reiserfs Corruption...some advice

2003-10-20 Thread Ricardo (Tru64 User)
Hi All, Before i go ahead blindly with information from reiserfsck, i thought i should post up here. Corruption after a disk hiccup on an IDE-RAID drive. -reiserfsck suggests running rebuild-tree -I have already backed up the drive as is. Should I continue? (Any bad experiences??) reiserfsck

if you've already backed it up, then go ahead and try rebuild-tree; what have you got to lose? I fully expect you'll have to format and start over, based on my experiences with ReiserFS, but since you've got a back up that's okay. You might want to consider using a more stable FS next time though.
