Re: What did I do wrong? (Filesystem recovery with ReiserFS)

Why on earth would Reiserfs be in the Kernel for as long as it has if it

I find Knoppix to be a great tool when a system is unbootable, and it's 
normally not a good idea (very bad) to run an fsck on a mounted partition.

Thanks for your completely useless feedback.
