Maybe it really does get a fatal corrutpion with a bit or byte memory error
sooner than ext3 ... can't really compare  :)

But reiserfsck did some real magic for me at least once ... when i thought
the fs was toasted, it nicely put it back together again, lost a few megs
and put ~2gb into /lost+found (out of ~480gb).

The only thing that's a bit problematic right now is the time fsck takes on
bushy trees like cyrus spool.
