Re: access beyond end of device again

[Tim Small <tim@digitalbrain.com>]

I've seen this sort of problem before, with a 160G disk.  I'd installed 
a kernel with IDE patches to enable access to all 160G of the device, 
and created a reiserfs on it.  Then one of my colleagues decided to 
install our 'standard' kernel on it.  Sadly, the entire filesystem was 
turned to cheese, and reiserfsck didn't get much back.

However, this looks to be a LONG way beyond the end of the device, but 
"cat /proc/partitions" might still be worth doing...
