Agree 100%. Reiser makes it this way intentionally. Some reiserfsck commands can really do damage since they are "last resort try and fix my partition" commands that attempt to reindex the entire drive. Any disruption to THAT type of process will hose it. So typing "Y e s" is an extra precaution to make sure that's exactly what you want done. And, since your problem was fixed easily probably indicates it was not unmounted cleanly. Glad to hear you're back up and running. -- Peter -- [email protected] mailing list
