Hello, Some reiser4 meta-data questions: [/dev/sdb] - I packed r4 meta-data with command # debugfs.reiser4 -P /dev/sdb | gzip -9 > r4meta-sdb.gz - I Unpacked r4 metadata with command as follows, metadata unpacked ok. # gunzip r4meta-sdb.gz 3,084,286,240 r4meta-sdb.gz 24,742,135,567 r4meta-sdb What commands would you run against unpacked meta-data to help diagnosis of problems and fixing meta-data ? So mount command completes. Thanks for assistance --Glenn Some history: -tried # mount -o dont_load_bitmap /dev/sdb /media/disk mount: mount(2) failed: No such file or directory - mount point exists # ll /media/disk total 0 # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sdb: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes #dmesg shows: [disk plugged in and mount attempt] [ 28.904861] usb usb1-port3: disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...
