REISERFS error - output to rebuild tree ... can I preclear and rebuild parity instead?

[flixxx]

Hello,

 

after a few issues going through my hard drive upgrades, I got things to a state of normal with one exception, my disk 3 is showing resierfs error.

 

I followed the steps here;

 https://wiki.lime-technology.com/Check_Disk_Filesystems

 

The output said I need to run the --build tree command but I saw the warning that some items may not be recoverable.

 

Instead, can I remove the drive from parity - run a Preclear and rebuild parity? Will that have a better chance of saving the data?

 

Thank you

Rebuilding a disk won't fix file system problems on it, if that's what you're asking.

Parity can't fix filesystem issues, use --rebuild-tree, just make sure you're using v6.3.3 or newer as there was a problem with the reiser tools included in some previous releases.

Thanks,

 

so if I understand correctly, if I replace the drive for example, the parity will rewrite the disk with the filesystem issues and i'll be back where I started?
