Hello, I did a repair on a reiser4 partition as follows: # fsck.reiser4 --build-fs /dev/sdc The disk report is listed at [1] Is the report ok ? See[1] I then tried to use the disk and the command mount failed /dev/sdc /media/disk2 See[2] Questions: Do I rerun the command again ? fsck.reiser4 --build-fs /dev/sdc What else do I need to do to use the disk ? I checked for reiser4.ko too # ll /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/reiser4 total 645 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 658032 Jan 28 19:54 reiser4.ko Thanks Glenn [1] # fsck.reiser4 --build-fs /dev/sdc ******************************************************************* This is an EXPERIMENTAL version of fsck.reiser4. Read README first. ******************************************************************* Fscking the /dev/sdc block device. Will check the consistency of the Reiser4 SuperBlock. Will build the Reiser4 FileSystem. Continue? (Yes/No): yes ***** fsck.reiser4 started at Sun Jan 29 02:37:21 2012 Reiser4 fs was detected on /dev/sdc.
