The file was removed by 'fsck.reiser4 --fix' which emmitted a
message about deleting a corrupted file. (Case 2 in your list).
This always happened after a system freeze or power loss.
The machine freezes quite frequently - I think it has a DMA problem.
Nevertheless I don't see how a file that was not written to can
get corrupted.
Current kernel is 2.6.20.5 (the reiser4 patch I submitted to this
list on may 2nd).
Root is mounted rw,noatime,nodiratime,onerror=remount-ro,tmgr.atom_max_age=60
Hope that helps.
