it worked okay. now I wonder, if I can use your instructions to "join" 120GB partition with new 220GB one, where the later one is the current one, and I would like to extend it to 220+120GB. 220 one is /dev/hda3 , the one that I would like to attach to the end of it is /dev/hdc3. how can I do this

Just curious, could it also be fixed by mounting the FS, freeing up some space, then retrying the FSCK? Or is the FS unusable? can't mount it either RO or RW. It says the process of rebuilding tree was incomplette and I have no options to take. Corner case really. -- GJ

okay, seems to makes sens. So you guys are working on it, or is the problem not quite fixable ? The underlying problem is what worries me more - the file that was deleted, but space never got free. I am about to buy larger HD today (this one was 160, I am going to get 250 one), so I can do it in

I had little problem, deleted a 4GB file, but this space was never freed , but file was gone. So I decided to run -check - no problems found, next step was to rebuild tree: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-tree -y /dev/hda3 reiserfsck 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com) **

Re: Will I need to re-format my partition for using the compression plugin?

I think there should be file attribute that says whether it is compressed/whatever/ or not. This way, it would be possible to compress already existing files. At least, if filesystem is so flexible as everyone say, it would be possible. On 9/20/05, Edward Shishkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Guy

All I know is that xxtea is fixed tea algo. If that fixes weakness in crypto algo, than so it should make hashing better. No doubt there is no ideal hash algo, but if base algo has weaknes, using fixed one only can be better, Right ? -- GJ
