Oh, reiserfs... Yes, lost lots of data on that.

It *might* be dodgy hardware, or it *might* be bugs in ReiserFS. Either
way, ext[23] appear to fail a little nicer on dodgy/dying disks. Perhaps
this is purely luck on my part, but either way, last I looked,
reiserfsck didn't seem to do very much, whereas I trust e2fsck happily.

Although, and this is wavering off-topic - has anyone *ever* said "no"
to e2fsck when it asks whether you want to fix something?

Dave.
