This is 2.4.0-test9 compiled with reiserfs as a module, and the ide.2.4.0-t9-6.task.0923.path IDE patch - mostly to get updated support for the 3WARE IDE RAID controller. /dev/sda is the 3ware escalade raid mirror - two Maxtor 20 gig drives. reiserfs is compiled as a module, the distribution is Debian Linux "Potato" uname -a shows: Linux ns2 2.4.0-test9 #1 Wed Dec 6 16:28:45 EST 2000 i586 unknown /etc/fstab shows: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # /dev/sda1 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda6 /var/www reiserfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sda7 /home reiserfs defaults,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /floppy auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 The partition I'm having trouble with is /dev/sda7. /dev/sda6 recovered okay. /dev/sda7 doesn't have a lot of data on it, and I CAN deal with the lost data, but it doesn't leave me with a very good feeling of confidence in reiserfs if I can't successfully recover from a power failure. What happens when I type mount /dev/sda7 is this: reiserfs: using 3.5.x disk format reiserfs: checking transaction log (device 08:07) ... and then it hangs. I then have to hit the reset button to reboot. I've tried running reiserfsck with --check, --correct-bitmap, --rebuild-sb, and --rebuild-tree. NO luck there. debugreiserfs /dev/sda7 shows: <-------------debugreiserfs, 2000-------------> reiserfsprogs 3.x Super block of format 3.5 found on the 0x3 in block 16 Block count 2405720 Blocksize 4096 Free blocks 2397152 Busy blocks (skipped 16, bitmaps - 74, journal blocks - 8193 1 super blocks, 284 data blocks Root block 8212 Journal block (first) 18 Journal dev 0 Journal orig size 8192 Filesystem state ERROR Tree height 2 Hash function used to sort names: tea hash Any help?
