Hi, when trying to mount decrypted devices, this appears in the logs: May 3 11:47:04 debian kernel: ReiserFS: dm-3: found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal May 3 11:47:04 debian kernel: ReiserFS: dm-3: using ordered data mode May 3 11:47:04 debian kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device May 3 11:47:04 debian kernel: dm-3: rw=0, want=3191529648, limit=976960845 May 3 11:47:04 debian kernel: ReiserFS: dm-3: warning: sh-459: unable to read journal header May 3 11:47:04 debian kernel: ReiserFS: dm-3: warning: sh-2022: reiserfs_fill_super: unable to initialize journal space The same symptoms occur with all devices that are encrypted, 6 in total. Let me explain chronologically what happened: - encryption of harddisks with data already on it via cryptsetup && dd - mounting of the resulted encrypted devices give no problem - server is shutdown to enter a new disk, when booting it was reported that CTRL+D had to be pressed to continue after some 'maintenance' - after bootup, when decrypting the devices and trying to mount, aforementioned messages appear in the logs The system is debian 2.6.25.14 and reiserfs is version 1:3.6.19-6. I checked the contents of the devices with 'strings' and got almost complete dirlistings and contents of text files, so I'm thinking data recovery is possible. After makeing a backup of one of the devices, I checked with reiserfsck which says the superblock has to be rebuilt, after doing so (also rebuilding the journal) it complains that the tree has to be rebuilt. While rebuilding (with the extra -S flag even) one error appearing for a few 50 times is: init_source_bitmap: Bitmap 3714 (of 32768 bits) is wrong - mark all blocks [121700352 - 121733120] as used When finished only one file is found and put in lost+found. Using testdisk on the image, millions of partitions are found when doing a quick search for partitions, all reporting sizes far over the limit (most> 13TB). At the moment it's still scanning for partitions, but as this will take a few more days I wanted to know if there are other options, like upgrading to the latest reiserfs, using --no-journal, ... If any logs are needed, please ask. Thanks C. _________________________________________________________________ Show them the way!
