It has happened often enough, but you're right, it is a problem for large projects. Anyway, there are a few other journaling file systems out there - ReiserFS4 isn't exactly alone.
Why exactly are some of us so attached to Reiser3 and hoping for Reiser4? There are other efficient journaling fs out there... For me it is because I don't have to worry about a 3 hour startup cycle aver 22 restarts or whatever the timeout is with ext3. That is pretty much my only reason for using Reiser3. Hasn't this been... "fixed"... for ext in openSUSE11.0 so that you do not get a surprise 3 hour restart? If ext doesn't do the automatic fsck thing is there anything else really holding the vast majority of us to Reiser? OK, some need/want Reiser3 or 4 for some very specific needs, but... aren't they a rare few? Just wondering (as a long term and dedicated Reiser3 FS user) how much of a "real" issue it would be if the Reiser FS were to die off....
