Good suggestion, Wolfgang. I did manage to recover a very small number |
| 7 |
of useful files that way. I didn't back up the partition because it is |
| 8 |
just too big to have hanging around taking up disk space. |

The reiserfsck man page says that if you have used a repartioning tool |
| 11 |
you need to find the correct start of the partition. I had guessed that |
| 12 |
it would be where it was before, but it looks like I was wrong. What I |
| 13 |
cannot find anywhere is any instructions on how actually to find the |
| 14 |
start of the partition. If anyone knows the answer then please post it. |

It won't help me, but it might help someone else with the same problem. |
