Reiser does not handle BS quite well. The idea is that bad blocks on the journal (and this changes, so you can't actually track it as part of a single proccess or specific file, but where the journal has just been written) Since the journal changes locations, as far as I know, the reason might be bad blocks, although not on the data part itself, but on some "free space", where the journal is using. Did you change anything, except your HDD lately? Installed new software? Changed X? Anything?
