Hi,

I have a raid5 array, which I create with mdadm. I encode this with
cryptoloop and create a reiserfs-filesystem on it.

Now it happens twice, that my machine crashes when writing on the
array. After a hard reset it is possible to restart the array, but after
entering the password, the reiserfs filesystem is not found.

The array is running:
# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid5]
md0 : active raid5 hdb1[0] sda6[2] hdc8[1]
      234436352 blocks level 5, 128k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]

unused devices: <none>

dmesg says:
ReiserFS: loop4: warning: sh-2021: reiserfs_fill_super: can not find
reiserfs on loop4

I use Debian sid with the kernel 2.6.11-9-amd64-k8 (but not the AMD64
distribution).

Any Ideas what happens and how I can repair the filesystem?

Michi
