ReiserFS: Was: Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder

[phiscock-g851W1bGYuGnS0EtXVNi6w at public.gmane.org]

As Mr. Reiser was being found guilty of murder, his file system became
corrupted on my Suse linux machine. (I assume, but have no proof, that
those two events are unrelated ;).

My ham-fisted attempts at recovery totally destroyed the file system.
Fortunately, I had backups - and this gave me an excuse to upgrade to
newer hardware and operating system. (Question for the great Oooohm of the
universe: why the *%(^@#$ in these new GUI driven systems do they make it
so difficult to find Xterm?)

Anyway, on the basis of previous experience with extfs I got the
impression that extfs was somewhat more tolerant and recoverable from
errors. Any observations or comments from the group on that?
