LinuxQuestions.org - Brand new HDD and reiser meltdown

Long time since I've had to ask for help here (so long ago I forgot my username/pwd), and a happy time it was. Anyways down to business...

I just bought a nice Seagate 200GB HDD and used gparted to create a 100GB reiserfs partition, all went well mounted the drive fine, moved 30GB of my data accross to the new partition. Great I thought job done, browsed the internet for a bit then came the reboot...

On boot when disc checks were running boot stopped and I'm told /dev/hda1 can't be checked and must be fixed manually, it is suggested that I run:

Code:

reiserfsck --sb-rebuild

and I've since run

Code:

fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-tree --scan-whole-partition /dev/hda1

with no luck

so I do and receive I few error messages I should have written down :(. Anyways dmesg has this to say:

Code:

My fstab:

Code:

# <fs>                  <mountpoint>    <type>          <opts>                  <dump/pass>



# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for

# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). 

# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will

#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)

# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:



none                    /dev/shm        tmpfs          defaults                0 0

and finally debugreiserfs returns:
