It's the same thing for reiserfs; reiserfsck --check has to be done on an unmounted filesystem. I had problems on reiserfs several times; the disk was OK (no bad-sector), but the filesystems got corrupted. Fortunately, it was /usr and, on another time, /var which resided in different partitions (other than where / was). The filesystems went all right after a reiserfsck --rebuild-tree. > I also wish that XFS (and others, really) could give some indication > about when data corruption occurred. Yes, ideally filesystem checks could be done on mounted filesystems; the checking program is just _reading_ anyway, why should the filesystems get unmounted?
