Happened on power failures or on situations that called for the red button 
(eg runaway processes etc).

2.4.x kernels, which we also use reiserfs on. reiserfs didn't fail under 
the exact same situations on the exact same hardware. we have a few legacy

chance.

fwiw we also had bad experiences with xfs.
