Sounds like ReiserFs must have lost all your data. :)
But seriously, I guess Hans can rot in jail doing nothing and costing us
all money or he can work on free software that benefits humanity while he's
in there. I realize that programming might bring him some joy thereby
lessening his

I have to confess, that for my own system I don't split the root partition
from home. I don't know in advance what will need more space and how much.
Same problem can come up if you keep logs or etc in separate file

One thing I would point out on your partition map is that you appear
to have put /boot AFTER /. Today, this is okay, because of GRUB.
However, in the older days of LILO, /boot needed to be the first
partition. This is because LILO is a 2-stage loader, and the kernel
