Hi. The forums being down, can you give me help by mail on the topic |
| 4 |
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4225196.html#4225196, since I can't use |
| 5 |
my Gentoo installation until the problem is solved? |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The most important thing to me is to know the answer to the two questions: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1) How can I know if other files were corrupted? |
| 10 |
2) Do you think I should just use the computer, after reemerging the |
| 11 |
packages that provide the corrupted files? Or should I reinstall the system |
| 12 |
from scratch? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The background is: a corruption ocurred in my reiserfs partition, possibly |
| 15 |
due to hardware problems; I performed reiserfsck and recovered virtually all |
| 16 |
files, but at least some files in /bin are corrupted. In fact, they cannot |
| 17 |
be executed, and executing the "file" command on them tells that they are |
| 18 |
just "data" instead of recognising them as an executable. See: |

Aren't all these files part of coreutils? So hopefully this was just a |
| 52 |
misbehaved coreutils emerge instead of a consequence of filesystem |
| 53 |
corruption. |

For more details, see the forum thread. |
| 56 |
I would appreciate any help. Thanks. |
