Hello How can the reiser4 filesystem be repaired ? /dev/sdb I tried these steps so far. Thanks Glenn # # fsck.reiser4 --build-fs --force /dev/sdb ******************************************************************* This is an EXPERIMENTAL version of fsck.reiser4. Read README first. ******************************************************************* Fscking the /dev/sdb block device. Will check the consistency of the Reiser4 SuperBlock. Will build the Reiser4 FileSystem. ***** fsck.reiser4 started at Fri Sep 4 11:18:23 2015 FSCK: backup.c: 505: repair_backup_open: Found backup does not match to the on-disk filesystem metadata. Backup update is needed. Reiser4 fs was detected on /dev/sdb.
