Fwd: fsck.reiser4 questions

[doiggl]

Hello,
Some reiser4 questions for Edward Shishkin.

Is fsck broken in version reiser4progs-1.1.0  ?

What reiser4 checks and tests can I run on the the r4 meta data to see if
it is  ok ? 
Packed with 
- I packed r4 meta-data with command

# debugfs.reiser4 -P /dev/sdb  | gzip -9 > r4meta-sdb.gz

I use:
# fsck.reiser4 --build-sb --build-sb /dev/sdb
# fsck.reiser4 --build-fs --build-fs /dev/sdb
# fsck.reiser4 --fix  /dev/sdb

Thanks
--Glenn

#  rpm -qa | grep -i reiser4progs
reiser4progs-1.1.0-35.1.x86_64

a copy of [reiser4 /dev/sdb] meta-data see:

See debugfs.reiser4(8): once you've packed metadata, you can unpack it and 
write to a different device and use fsck.reiser4 on it. But...what are you 
trying to do?

I couldn't find the correct download button, the ones I clicked just 
brought up advertisments and fake flash installers :-\

Well, there you go: scroll down to the bottom to see Edward's response to 
your report.

Hello,
reiser4progs] fsck.reiser4 commands fail to repair file system [1] is the
reason I ask for this.

[1]

 --build-sb
 --build-fs 
 --fix

e.g
# fsck.reiser4 --build-sb --build-sb /dev/sdb
# fsck.reiser4 --build-fs --build-fs /dev/sdb
# fsck.reiser4 --fix  /dev/sdb

# fsck.reiser4 --fix --help
Usage: fsck.reiser4 [ options ] FILE
Fsck options:
  --check                       checks the consistency (default)
  --fix                         fixes minor corruptions
  --build-sb                    rebuilds the super block
  --build-fs                    rebuilds the filesystem
