Reiser FS hosed?
So I'm doing an 'mplayer -dumpfile', and before I know it I've
completely filled the last 10GB of my hard drive (total 80GB). It
wasn't were the OS resided; just a HD used for a file holding space.
Anyway, after reaching 100%, the folder I was working in became
non-working. When I would do 'ls' from its parent folder, it said
something like 'Couldn't lstat /folder permission denied'; even as root.
(sorry if my details are sketchy. Unfortunately, I tried tackling
this problem while I had a fever. Bad idea.).
It's a reiser4 FS, so I umounted and ran:
# fsck.reiser4 /dev/hdb1
...
Warn : Fatal corruptions were found. Semantic pass is skipped.
***** fsck.reiser4 finished at Thu Jan 5 18:35:18 2006
Closing fs...done
1 fatal corruptions were detected in FileSystem. Run with --build-fs
option to fix them.
So, as suggested, I ran:
# fsck.reiser4 --build-fs /dev/hdb1 (which ran for ~30 min)
...
Warn : Reiser4 storage tree does not exist. Filter pass skipped.
...
Fatal: No reiser4 metadata were found. Semantic pass is skipped.
***** fsck.reiser4 finished at Thu Jan 5 19:16:50 2006
Closing fs...done
NO REISER4 METADATA WERE FOUND. FS RECOVERY IS NOT POSSIBLE.
So this is (ahem) bad, huh? Am I screwed? Or is there any way to
recover some of the files?
Thanks for reading!
