'reiserfsck --check /dev/hda5'
then do....
'reiserfsck --rebuild-sb /dev/hda5'
'reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/hda5'
Mandrake 8.0 and a similar version of SuSE had a very very buggy kernel 2.4
implemenntation of Reiser complete with kernel oopses on notail mounts and
lost files on system crashes, sometimes very subtle, like libraries that
would show up under
'ldconfig -v'
but would hide from a ./config.
Recovery chances are not good if you have that particular version, but that
method is the way to do it.
