Hi Carlos and all,
Yup, reiserfsck reported a coupple errors, and on a few partitions that I
thought were good. I apparently repaired them with the --rebuild-tree
option.
It's pretty horrible that when the reiserfs beacome corrupt, the whole
system goes down. Is this going to be addressed in future reiserfs
versions??
Thanks,
- Ryan

I had some serious system lockup problems with SuSe 8.1 and reiserfs, but they were addressed with the "barrier=none" fix in the fstab.
The origin of that problem was also solved with a kernel update.
Now in SuSE 9.0, I am having similear system freeze issues with accessing some files on reiserfs. 9.0 doesn't like the barrier=none at all, and I haven't seen any postings on this issue.
That barrier problem disapeared.
Check you don't have badblocks on your HD (check kernel log) or other problems (run a reiserfsck while booted from the rescue CD).
A HD read/write error will probably freeze your system when trying to access afected files. If the file is not crucial, system will survive - for the time being.
