Ok, I've seen several similar threads about a somewhat closeby error.
I was doing a transfer between HD's when the whole OS freezes up.
Nothing help trying to stop this, just restarting with power off/on.
This has happened b4 and the OS went up fine again afterwards some fsck's.
This time though it didn't :/
Boot sequence is fine until this occurs
| Code: | | WARNING : Bad format on line 19 in /etc/fstab |
reoccuring on several lines.
I havent touched fstab lately and line 19 is pointing to the
| Code: | | None /proc proc ...... |
line (or really the line above it) which I believe is kinda crucial.
| Code: | | Failed to open filesystem |
After this I am told : | Code: | | If the partition table hasn't changed and the partition is valid bla bla use --rebuild-sb |
| Code: | Warning .... fsck.reiserfs for device /dev/hda3 exited wit signal 6.
Filesystem couldn't be fixed :( |
I login to maintenance mode and try to do fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-sb /dev/hda3 but gets the error that device cannot be found!.
I cant umount, use fdisk or whatever.
Yes, I have gawk 3.1.3 installed
Any ideas would be really appreciated. I'm stuck knee-deep in my ignorance here 
/Regards
The hda3 is mounted |

| Are you sure the disk isn't dying? What if you try to unmount the partition and then run the fsck.reiserfs? |

Hm, it could be dying I dunno.
But the former freezups isnt specific to any HD.
I can only do fsck.reiserfs from livecd.
Did it from there and actually got somewhere 
Now I'm even able to boot the machine BUT
several things stopped working, feels like files are corrupt and missing.
For example I had to manually recreate devfsd.conf to get it running.
Could fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-tree /dev/hda3
solve this ? |

Possibly... personally I've avoided major problems with ReiserFS and don't have real hands-on experience in rescuing exploded ReiserFS partitions. 
Good luck to your rescue trip and if possible, before trying fsck.reiserfs --rebuildtree /dev/hda3 take backups from your stuff you currently can see on that partition. |
