As some of you may remeber, I complained about reiserfs problems a while back. After the problem became really frequent, I removed all proprietary modules from the kernel. The very fist boot after switching to a non-tainted kernel, the problem happened again.
Luckily, I have free space on my disk. I created an identically sized partition, and formatted it ext3 with "mkfs.ext3 -c -c" (write mode surface test). Everything was ok (though, when copying the data over from the old partition, it complained about file system corruption).
I then proceded to format the original partition with write mode surface test - still no problems. We now have the following interesting data:
A. The problem was not due to a harddisk failure.
B. The problem was not due to a tainted kernel.
C. The problem will not happen again unless I return to reiserfs.
There are no specific questions, but if anyone has any comments about the matter, I would love to hear. For example - should I report this problem? Where?
