Hi, |
14 |
|
15 |
Looks like the system was turned off without cleanly unmounting all |
16 |
partitions. This should trigger a filesystem check at next reboot. The |
17 |
message with Ctrl-D to reboot does also contain a oppertunity to login as |
18 |
root (just type roots password). This is due to the fact that fsck.reiserfs |
19 |
was unable to repair certan problems and needs to be run with optional |
20 |
parameters that you must manually specify; probably --rebuild-tree. |

A solution would be to boot up the system normaly and then enter runlevel 1 by |
23 |
using the command "init 1" as root. Next umount the partition that is having |
24 |
problems and do a "chkfs.reiserfs /dev/[your-partition]" and see if that |
25 |
helps, otherwise do a "chkfs.reiserfs /dev/[your-partition] --rebuild-tree". |
26 |
This helped me after some bad thunderstorms that caused blackouts last summer |
27 |
and corrupted some of my partitions on my file server. |
