Hello, I use these versions: # fsck.reiser4 -V fsck.reiser4 1.1.0 Format release: 4.0.1 # rpm -qa |grep -i reiser4 |sort kernel-reiser4-4.1.6-7.1.gd2bbe7f.x86_64 libreiser4-1_1-0-1.1.0-14.1.x86_64 reiser4progs-1.1.0-14.1.x86_64 - packed reiser4 metadata via command # debugfs.reiser4 -P /dev/sdb | gzip -9 > r4meta-sdb.gz - I unpacked reiser4 metadata via command # gunzip r4meta-sdb.gz # ll r4meta-sdb -rw-r--r-- 1 root users 24742135567 Nov 27 14:33 r4meta-sdb 24,742,135,567 = 2941.40457 Megabytes = 2.87247 Gigabytes I note the freespace you had was not enough to unpack metadata [1] I unpacked metadata # gunzip r4meta-sdb.gz A question for Edward Shishkin - What commands do you run against unpacked metadata ? I know files and data are on disk but just trying to access it. Thank you for any help the commands to run.
