    Guys,

    reiserfs3+fc2+2.6.7

            Pressing issue which I'm seeing. Shut-down machine, system detected fs
    error.

    Proceeded to boot into single mode,

    reiserfsck --check /dev/hda8

    says.. error.. can be fixed with --fix-fixable

    reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/hda8

    Nothing happens. eg: the same message that comes out when I do --check
    come out when i do --fix-fixable

    Okay.. Didn't want to --rebuild-tree

    Reboot, during load-up, init complains of fs errors and does autofsck.
    Complains about the error and then tries to fix... out comes a _lot_ of
    "cannot allocate memory" problems.

    Problem still can't be fixed.

    Boot into Knoppix 3.2 for reiserfsck from tere. Same issue.

    deleted /dev/hda8/.autofsck
    reboot into fc2
    Same problems. Won't let me boot up.

    In the end.. Now, I've resorted to using reiserfsck --rebuild-tree
    /dev/hda8

    Sigh.. I've had this FS curruption more than 5 times since going to FC2
    on reiserfs. I was using rh9+ext3 previously.

    Is it because I often use hibernate? Nigel (swsusp2) says I should
    switch to ext3 if intend to do any hibernation stuffs.

    Comments?? Experiences??

    PS: Don't have Internet access, so I had to resort to do --rebuild-tree
    as I really need to use the laptop.
