I recently discovered some file corruption problems with Reiserfs. For some reason VMWare would hard lock my machine occasionally. This happened recently and I rebooted, reiserfsck ran and played the journal but X and KDE would randomly crash and eventually the pc would lock up.
It turned out to be two files had been "recovered" with wrong info in them when the journal was replayed. libqt2 and libkdecore where corrupted. Reinstalling the rpm's fixed the problem. I've since decided to try EXT3 because it journals the data as well as the meta-data, while reiserfs only journals the meta-data (I think, that's what I've read). Just my 2 cents worth...
