IMVHO you should either provide some details (eg. reiserfs version, date
when it happened, hardware type - was that some of your big, old, 60 MB hard
drives?). I have used reiserfs for 3 years and never had any problems with
that.

Numbers, numbers. Can you provide them? Or should we say, that on port-i386
any pro-netbsd user is able to say anything about other OS and we gladly
belive that?

Hmm, unsafe FS? Even those written by IBM or SGI?
