... and you have only 512 MB with no swap. Try to add some swap space -
then reiserfsck might eventually complete.

AFAIK, the only way to recover reiserfs after --rebuild-tree has been
attempted is to run "reiserfsck --rebuild-tree" to completion.
ok, you say that you think/know it is normal that reiserfsck needs more
than 512 MB ram... I just thought this is a bug. :-)

So I try with 1 GB real ram and another 1 GB of swap. You're sure
everything is normal, and we don't have a problem at all?

Markus Mueller
