I'm running 9.1 pro which was working perfectly yesterday but when I've
tried to boot it up today it gives the following errors:

Filesystem is NOT Clean
Filesystem seems to have fatal corruptions. Running with --rebuild-tree is
required.
fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda4 failed (status 0x4). Run manually!

Then it leaves me with a root login prompt so I've logged in but I'm not
sure where to go from here. I tried

fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-tree /dev/hda4

but this gave the following error:

rebuild_tree: Cannot rebuild tree of mounted filesystem

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I need to do to repair this?

Thanks

Shawn
