If I reboot or shutdown and boot, the filesystem is corrupted and boot stalls midway thru starting up services. Suspsend to swap and resume does not have this problem. Booting the rescue disk and running fsck on both root and home partition (ext3 and ReiserFS, respectively) fixes the problem. It is fairly consistent when it stalls if I try booting again. But when changes after FS repair. fscking the root partion alone is not sufficient. fscking both partitions works.

Has anyone seen anything like this and have a solution?
TIA, Jeffrey
In the years i have been using Linux and Reiserfs this sort of problem is nearley always the precursor to disc failure , If you have any important bits on there get them off pronto is all i will say ..

The problem could also be a bad controller or simply a bad cable. (Don't panic until you have to.) Is the corruption appearing on the same partition each time? (This question makes sense only if you have more than one non-swap partition.) Also see "man badblocks". -- A lot of us are working harder than we want, at things we don't like to do.
