Un buen título para una película de terror sería el de este post. Tan pronto como hablo de leer particiones reiserfs desde Windows, no puedo acceder a una de 932GB dónde almaceno contenido multimedia.
El primer síntoma del "problema" es que no se podía acceder desde Gnome. "Ummm...que raro, si en este disco, que por cierto tiene cuatro(4) meses de vida útil en mi máquina, nunca me había dado problemas". El segundo síntoma lo he encontrado en /var/log/syslog y /var/log/messages, dónde se podía apreciar claramente cómo algo no marchaba bien en la unidad /dev/sdb1. Me temía lo peor. Dudaba en este post si reiserfs podía expandir el disco en caliente; ahora puedo afirmar que expandir en caliente sí; lo que no es posible es disminuir el espacio. Al grano. Este post me ha ayudado a recuperar los datos reconstruyendo el árbol. La verdad es que no me paran de llegar buenas impresiones y experiencias sobre EXT4; y teniendo en cuenta que Namesys parece que ya no sigue con el desarrollo de reiserfs, a lo mejor es buen momento para el cambio.
La operación que "copio-pego" ha llevado un buen rato, alrededor de cuatro(4) horas, así que paciencia. Debéis comprobar si tenéis instalado reiserfsprogs, que es el paquete de utilidades para "jugar" con particiones reiser. En Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu y derivados es muy sencillo.
apermuy@polinico:~$ dpkg -l|grep reiser
ii reiserfsprogs 1:3.6.21-1 User-level tools for ReiserFS filesystems
Ahora toca comprobar la consistencia del sistema de ficheros. Fácil.
root@polinico apermuy#reiserfsck --check /dev/sdb1
Si tenéis café a mano, o una buena película...ahora es el momento.Ups, me olvidaba comentar que es necesario desmontar la partición.
root@polinico apermuy#reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/sdb1
reiserfsck 3.6.21 (2009 www.namesys.com)
*************************************************************
** Do not run the program with --rebuild-tree unless **
** something is broken and MAKE A BACKUP before using it. **
** If you have bad sectors on a drive it is usually a bad **
** idea to continue using it. Then you probably should get **
** a working hard drive, copy the file system from the bad **
** drive to the good one -- dd_rescue is a good tool for **
** that -- and only then run this program. **
** If you are using the latest reiserfsprogs and it fails **
** please email bug reports to reiserfs-list@namesys.com, **
** providing as much information as possible -- your **
** hardware, kernel, patches, settings, all reiserfsck **
** messages (including version), the reiserfsck logfile, **
** check the syslog file for any related information. **
** If you would like advice on using this program, support **
** is available for $25 at www.namesys.com/support.html. **
