Hello,

I have a problem somehow related with security :

Where is the data stored of a partition formatted with ReiserFS ?

The problem arose as after some severe crashes (I could not rearrange
installed software and run level values) the the original HDD1 had to
be formatted and newly installed. All my user data are on HDD2 in a
partition with ReiserFS and stayed there untouched.

Now, after installation of the new system, linux "sees" the data
partition, but it does not see any contents. The partition type is
said to be "linux native". Changing that to "ReiserFS" is not possible
without formatting - but formatting would destroy the existing data.

How can I manage to get access to my data on HDD2 again ?

Thank you,

Aribert Deckers
