Aug 29, 2012 at 15:13 comment added derobert @Tim I'm talking about the first line of the post. At minimum (for e2fsck) you need to add -n (and I seem to recall previous versions having bugs around that). For reiserfs, I'm not sure. Keep in mind the fsck will often attempt a journal replay.
Aug 29, 2012 at 15:09 comment added Tim @derobert very last line of my post: "boot with a Live CD or Rescue Disk for your system and un fsck -f on the disk to repair it." Seems clear to me, did you miss it?
Aug 27, 2012 at 11:08 comment added maniat1k @derobert I'm have not run a fsck on a mounted partition; I'm used a liveCD to do that.
Aug 26, 2012 at 20:44 comment added Martin Schröder @Solo: So it's reiserfs? Migrate to another fs.
Aug 24, 2012 at 17:22 comment added derobert but also, you're having him run a fsck on a mounted partition. Generally not the best of ideas...
Aug 24, 2012 at 17:15 comment added derobert @Tim: No, he wants to fsck the partition, not the whole disk. So /dev/sda1 or whatever.
Aug 24, 2012 at 15:11 comment added maniat1k Ok fsck.reiserfs -f /dev/sda gave me this output the reiserfs superblock cannot be found on /dev/sda. Failed to open the filesystem.
