Suppose I should put in a bit about reiser - I have had two problems. The minor one was an "infinite" directory that was fixed by reserfstools, the other more serious. I woke up one morning after leaving the machine happily downloading mdk8.2RC1cd1 overnight to a hung machine. Investigation showed nothing on one of the two 60gbyte ibm drives (with /home and /usr of course!). Thinking that it was one of the "bad" ibm drives, I tried repartitioning and formatting (no partitions showed!) so I could say I tried, and it came up with a good format! Required a complete reinstall and luckily I had backups, but I have no idea what caused it. The machines been stable since, and as the disk partitioning disappeared, I am not sure reiser could be the cause, but ...
