Bingo - I also use reiserfs, so I ran reiserfsck --check followed by --rebuild-tree (which I was told to do by the check). ... I'm rather troubled by this. I thought that the point of a journalled FS was that this sort of nastiness didn't happen, and was at least kept infrequent and small-scale?

Run some HW tests (e.g. memory, HD) and if no error is found then send a bug report - it's probably a kernel problem then.

I see fsck as part of the boot process of this box every day (it's a desktop system), so why hasn't this taken care of problems as they arise?

If the kernel or HW is broken then journaling doesn't help. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
