Hello Edward, 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 # ll 24,742,135,567 Feb 20 20:10 r4meta-sdb Question: What commands would you run against unpacked meta-data to help diagnose problems and fix meta-data ? So mount command completes. Cant see any utilities to shrink existing Reiser4 partition. Thanks for assistance. --Glenn # fsck.reiser4 --build-fs /dev/sdb # CHECKING THE STORAGE TREE Read nodes 197008413 Nodes left in the tree 197008413 Leaves of them 194764277, Twigs of them 2217790 Time interval: Sun Jan 17 18:22:12 2016 - Mon Jan 18 02:10:12 2016 CHECKING EXTENT REGIONS.
