There are those who insist that Reiser is infallible and the problem is in your harddrives. I have had similar problems with my Reiser partitions on different machines doing flakey stuff and requiring the rebuild-tree thing to get right for awhile. My solution to the problem was to no longer use reiser. I've had Zero problems with drives since then. AND, no loss of data or hangs since.
Reiserfs may be perfect but I'm perfectly happy not using it anymore. The choice is yours. I'm out of the debate over whether Reiser is perfect or not. Richard
I'll second that. I switched to JFS and now XFS versus ext2/3 or Reiser due to the reliability issue. Whatever it is with my system, Reiser and ext2/3 were nothing but trouble. Simply switching to JFS and now XFS cured it. My free advice is _if_ you are experiencing lots of Reiser errors and must run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree often, try switching to XFS and see what happens. Stan
