[Sheflug] Reiser FS Problem

[Robert Pumphrey <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have got a problem with a ReiserFS on SuSE v7.1 kernel 2.4.3. The 
machine is crashing with the message "init_special_inode: bogus inode" 
being written to the system log. There are some files on the / partition 
that, if touched, cause the OS to die with the above message.

I have 2 partitions / and /home. I have repaired /home by going into 
single user mode, unmounting the /home partition and running reiserfsck. 
  Can anyone tell me how I can run resierfsck on the / partition. I 
cannot umount the partition (even in single user mode) and I cannot run 
reiserfsck on a mounted partition.

Thanks

Rob Pumphrey
