[Solved]Rebuilt disk shows up unformatted

[ccruzen]

Replaced a failing disk and after the disk rebuild the new disk is showing unformatted. 

I ran the reiserfsck --check command on the disk and got the following result:

Replaying journal: Done.
Reiserfs journal '/dev/md6' in blocks [18..8211]: 0 transactions replayed
Checking internal tree..

Bad root block 134911349. (--rebuild-tree did not complete)

Aborted

 

Any advice?  Do I need to run reiserfsck with the --rebuild-tree option? 

 

Thanks for any help.

Running the --rebuild-tree option would be my guess, but I would wait until one of the experts responds.

 

I recently had a similar issue, but when I ran the check command it explicitly said to run --rebuild-tree.

That's what I was thinking but wanted an expert to suggest it first.  I didn't know since it didn't explicitly say to run the --rebuild-tree option.  We'll see what an expert has to say.

Thanks

Yes. Run with rebuild-tree.

Yes. Run with rebuild-tree.

Thank you, seems to have solved the issue, now I just need to figure out what files I lost.

Thanks,

Did it create a lost+found folder on the disk?  If it did, you might be able to recover some from there but it's dicey.

Yeah, there were some lost and found but still some missing.

You can try --scan-whole-partition to recover missing files.
