Finally reconnecting… since my server died earlier with a reproducible kernel BUG in the resierfs journaling code of a stock 2.6.10 (journal.c:2825). After poking around a bit, i decided to copy everything over (more than 100 Gigs) and move to ext3. Especially since i recently downgraded from 2.6.11.* because i ran into two other scenarios of filesystem corruptions under reiserfs (on different disks btw). So i simply don’t trust the reiserfs code anymore and am migrating all my machines to other file systems bit by bit. Sent off a bug report to the reiserfs people and ran into another bug in mc while backing up my files.
