Using --fix resulted in a message that I should use --build-fs to remove

Hi Dirk,
I think you'd better ask the ReiserFS mailing list - see www.namesys.com.

The reiserfs fsck is broken by design. It can quite easily corrupt
your filesystem with *any* options!
Running an as-yet-unmerged beta-quality filesystem isn't really a
great idea. Why do you want to run reiser4? Your filesystem is one
of the most critical parts of your system--nobody wants to lose
data--so choosing an unproven filesystem with poor recovery tools is
not recommended...
http://zork.net/~nick/mail/why-reiserfs-is-teh-sukc
gives some useful information. Apparently, things might be improved
with reiser4, but until it's merged into the kernel and has really
wide testing, it's a bit of a lottery. Either way, fsck.reiser* are
known to play like Russian roulette.
Regards,
Roger

serious Reiser4 fsck problem

Hello,
will using
fsck.reiser4 --build-fs
result in data loss? I mean to fix the partition - NOT to lose the data
on it..
The manual page is also not very specific about if data will be lost or
not when using this option...
Using --fix resulted in a message that I should use --build-fs to remove
corruption...
Thanks,
Dirk
