ReiserFS

This page is part of the Linux Disk Management pages.

Tuning

For better performance, use mount switch noatime,notail (see [1])

Undelete

See [2]. Basically:

• Stop any activity on the partition, unmount it!
• Mount back the partition read-only, backup all data:

sudo tar cvzpf /data/backup.tgz .

• Unmount the partition
• Run reiserfsck (this step might corrupt even un-damaged files):

reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S -l /root/recovery.log /dev/hda3

• Look for files in lost+found
• Restore the backup

sudo tar xvzpf /data/backup.tgz
