Originally, I was -W0 with fsync(2) being used to insure data integrity. I'm presently testing lk 2.4.19 + Namesys patches 1 thru 13 + Chris Mason's write barrier patch with hdparm -W1 and fsync(2). Under this configuration I don't see the problem you are encountering, but am investigating data coruption on the ReiserFS partitions.
