I suffered a little reiserfs corruption the other day (okay well a lot :-),
after booting my new 2.4.2 kernel on my Sid setup. So I just wiped it all
and reinstalled using ext2 only. Being brave I build 2.4.2 again, hoping it
was strictly a reiserfs problem. On first boot...file corruption.
Well I grabbed 2.4.2, did a make-kpkg as usual and installed it. But I
reboot to find my filesystem pretty well trashed. I'm running Sid and
everything is on Reiserfs except for /boot. The only way I can do anything
(with any kernel) is to boot to single user. I have tried reiserfsck'ing

Is there an easy way to reconstruct the basic heirarchy and files for /var?
I had a reiserfs meltdown after installing 2.4.2. I'm not really sure if it
