However, if the journal gets corrupted, you are in for serious trouble, because Hans Reiser didn't plan this to happen and didn't write any fsck code. I have seen this happening, with severe data loss. AFAIK, there is now a "third party ReiserFS fsck", but I never actually tried it. Additionally, ReiserFS has some issues that shouldn't be present in a modern FS (for example, it is not 64 bit clean, as I am told). >I would not recommend that you change to ReiserFS at this time.
