The crash happened during a power failure but I'd like a software answer that we can avoid problems in future.
Uhh. Probably software isn't the anser for an hardware problem. Think about UPS-es. A journalling filesystem is a usefull tool, not a garanty, during a power failure.
It isn't normal to get that kind of filesystem corruption just because the power went out. I've pulled the plug on my machine, and I may lose recent information, but my filesystem is still there. Do you think it's possible for reiserfs to go down that badly? Maybe his hard drive or controller is getting flaky? -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
