..thanks for the suggestion. I looked through the start up messages again and found a line stating that the / filesystem had not been cleanly unmounted (from the freeze I guess). I loaded up the rescue disk and ran the reiserfsck - everything looked clean.
I then ran reiserfsck --check which then moaned about some corruption. I then followed with reiserfsck --fix-fixable which then supposedly fixed the error. I reran with the check option once more - it still complained and now said I would have to run reiserfsck --rebuildtree. I did this and it promptly gave a segmentation fault. I can no longer mount the partition or do anything else with it. I have a feeling I'm looking at a reinstall
![Wink Smilie](https://www.unix.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I sure am glad I seperate my filesystems onto different partitions else I would have lost everything!
I gotta say I'm a bit disappointed in resierfs - i never had these issues with ext3 even after repeated power outs - could always recover. However my knowledge of th reiser filesystem is limited and I guess the fault could well lie in my hardware - time will tell !
many thanks for help though - guess its reinstall time !

resize_reiserfs
RESIZE_REISERFS(8) System Manager's Manual RESIZE_REISERFS(8)
NAME
resize_reiserfs - Reiserfs filesystem resizer
SYNOPSIS
resize_reiserfs [ -s [+|-]size[K|M|G] ] [ -j dev ] [ -fqv ] device
DESCRIPTION
The resize_reiserfs tool resizes an unmounted reiserfs file system. It enlarges or shrinks an reiserfs file system located on a device so
that it will have size bytes or size=old_size +(-) size bytes if the + or - prefix is used. If the -s option is not specified, the
filesystem will be resized to fill the given device. The size parameter may have one of the optional modifiers K, M, G, which means the
size parameter is given in kilo-, mega-, gigabytes respectively.
The resize_reiserfs program does not manipulate the size of the device. If you wish to enlarge a filesystem, you must make sure you expand
the underlying device first. This can be done using cfdisk(8) for partitions, by deleting the partition and recreating it with a larger
size (assuming there is free space after the partition in question). Make sure you re-create it with the same starting disk cylinder as
before! Otherwise, the resize operation will certainly not work, and you may lose your entire filesystem.
The resize_reiserfs program allows to grow a reiserfs on-line if there is a free space on block device.
If you wish to shrink an reiserfs partition, first use resize_reiserfs to shrink the file system. You may then use cfdisk(8) to shrink the
device. When shrinking the size of the device, make sure you do not make it smaller than the reduced size of the reiserfs filesystem.
OPTIONS
-s [+|-]size
Set the new size in bytes.
-j dev Set the journal device name.
-f Force, do not perform checks.
-q Do not print anything but error messages.
-v Turn on extra progress status messages (default).
RETURN VALUES
0 Resizing successful.
-1 In another case.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to test resize_reiserfs. Suppose 2Gb reiserfs filesystem is created on the device /dev/hda8 and is mounted
on /mnt. For shrinking the device we need to unmount it first, then run resize_reiserfs with a size parameter (in this case -1Gb):
df
umount /mnt
resize_reiserfs -s -1G /dev/hda8
mount /dev/hda8 /mnt
df /mnt
WARNING
Note that this is a BETA program and may corrupt filesystems.
