I have a Suse box with ReiserFS partitions that I setup as an internet
kiosk station. I mounted the /home partition separately than root.
After a few power outages I lost the /home partition. root was in tact
but not /home. I had run the rebuild commands on it, and it
seemed to save the data in those lost+found dirs, but it was all
random names and info, there was no way for me to use the data.
I had backups so
it wasn't that big a deal, but I thought reiser would have been
able to survive a few power outtages.
This was with Suse 9.0. So I assume the reiserFS was fairly
recent.
Just my .02 about reiserfs.
