Dead Root Partition
Well, I just got a big surprise. It seems that the partition of my system root
has taken a complete dive and won't mount. As usual this happened without
warning. In fact, I was using my system normally, booted into Windows to game a
bit, then when getting back into Linux I got a nasty screen full of errors and
was told that I had to run fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-tree on the partition due to
fatal errors.
Luckily I keep backups. And even more luckily I could still get
into the partition and copy off recent changes in single user mode. So, here
we go, lets cross our fingers and see what the rebuild-tree options does.
Man this sucks. Wish me luck!
