Title: Linux and corrupt file
Post by: Psy on May 25, 2008, 06:10:58 PM

I have a corrupt file on Linux on a journalized Reiser File System but it won't let me delete it as root, chmod as root also comes back permission denied when I try to change the permission, even ls comes back permission denied as root.

Any ideas?

Repair (http://www.google.com/search?q=reiserfs+repair) the filesystem first.

Yhea I though I'd had to do that, but since the partition is large it will a long time and hoping there was a quicker way.

Edit: It didn't take as long as a feared, fsck fixed the 100 gig partition and I'm back and running again.
