Oddly enough this has NEVER happened to me, not in all the time I've used
Reiser. And I'm an overclocking person (P3-750 @ 975MHz, 1.90Vcore) and
before that P3-650 @ 806MHz, Celeron-400 @ 570MHz.. etc.
The new reiserfsck has functionality to recover from bad blocks. I haven't
have the bad luck to test it though.
As for Jijo's statements on the on-disk format, it's a canard, because the
current ReiserFS has always supported older disk formats. Besides, r5 hash
has been the default for quite some time, so there's no logic in making a
filesystem with the other hashes (rupasov, tea) unless you like to tinker.
