i've done that, but it gave me some cruel errors - like an ext2 panic or
so (can't find anything about it in the logs)

anyway - the PC was frozen


after the reboot e2fsck showed me that:

Inode 1313467 has imagic flag set.  Clear<y>? yes

Inode 1313468 is in use, but has dtime set.  Fix<y>? yes

and - of course not only once :-( but hundred times

it's (mostly) only because of the fschk-times -- this is (or should be)
an 125GB directory tree for music


the next step i'll do ist to give the new kernel (2.4.5) a try (hmm,
eventually with ac4-patch - i've read that there are some
reiserfs-issues are solved ...)


thanks for your attention


:wq - until next mail B-), l8r
