We've been seeing this quite often at our web application company.
The development machines run debian linux with kernel 2.4.x (they differ)
and ReiserFS, and on local installations of the web app, which puts DB, web
server, and CGIs on the same box, we see frequent table corruption.
Sometimes it's on the order of a couple of times a week, which is absolutely
ridiculous considering how little the DB install is stressed on developer
boxes.
Fortunately the DB server used for the public cluster, which gets its own
debian linux 2.4.x machine, and I *think* doesn't use ReiserFS (the
maintenance crew has changed its collective mind several times, much to the
annoyance of the development and QA teams), does *not* exhibit this problem,
or so the crew claims. (Don't even ask about the politics of communication
within our company...)

This is clearly a BIG BIG worry for me, but the story I am handed (from some
very dubious sources) is that it's an interaction between MySQL and ReiserFS
and that as long as the public servers don't user ReiserFS we'll be fine.

Can anybody actually lend credence to this claim?
