How sure are you that your patch level for your kernel is good? ISTR some issues with reiserfs on some versions of the recent kernels, but there've been so many filesystem problems with Linux over the last couple years that my recollection is probably not all it might be. Anyway, I would start wondering about hardware. Try badblocks on your disk. Note that to produce useful results, you may have to do the destructive tests. You'll be wanting to back up your data first. There have been occasional reports of clog files being destroyed -- search the archives for some quick fixes, but note that you are likely to have some inconsistent data. So far, all the problems have been attributable to hardware, but nobody is ruling out a bug, if it is reproducable. I think Tom Lane is especially interested in looking at cases like this; or he was last time I talked to him about it.
