Hi all, 

I do not know if this is the right place to post this, but I can't think of any better 
place, so here goes:

I recently discovered that one of my files was overwritten somehow. It resides on a 
reiserfs partition which is mounted read-only. The contents of the file where 
overwritten with parts of other files on seemingly random places and bits of ASCII 
text.

Looking over it now I see it contains parts of win32 applications (strings like "This 
program can not be run in dos mode") and XML files. I do not know if there are any 
other files affected by this (quite a lot of files on that partition) but I will check 
each file before I backup. 

Now my question:

Is this a known issue? if yes: what can I do about it? if no: what information do you 
need to reproduce/solve this problem? (stop it from happening again, that is)
