Edit: I gave up and formatted it.

So I tried to resize a reiserfs partition using the gparted boot disk. While gparted was performing the after-resize file check, it froze. I rebooted the computer, and I could read the disk fine, but it seemed to be the same size as before (which I didn't notice at first). I copied some files over before I noticed.

Once I realized what happend, I decided that a reiserfsck would be a good idea. A simple reiserfsck ran without any errors, but obviously there was a problem, so I ran 'reiserfsck --rebuild-tree. Part way through I get the error,

Code:
Pass2:
0%Not enough allocable blocks, checking bitmap..there are 0 allocable blocks, btw

out of disk space
Aborted


Now my partition is unmountable. If I run a simple reiserfsck now, I get
Code:
Bad root block 0. (--rebuild-tree did not complete.)
If I re-run the --rebuild-tree, I get the same error as before.

I backed up my data before I resized, but I'll have to re-do my install if I can't fix this. Any ideas?

Edit: Tried again with --scan-whole-partition option, same result.
