KDE refused to start today. This time it was not just a usual problem with user permissions.

Everything went just fine until the sematic tree scan. It g= ot stuck at 99% with intensive disk usage. After about 10 minutes, the pro= gram ended with an error message (=E2=80=9Eoperational error=E2=80=9C or som= ething of that kind). (Just one line, no further details.) The hard drive is a relatively recent Seagate Momentus 100 GB, 7200 RPM= , 2,5", IDE, checked with smartctl regularly. The drive doesn't seem to b= e the cause of this... However, after the (probably unfinished) disk scan, I could still mount= the /home partition and KDE started just fine this time. The file system is probably not in a consistent state right now. What could I do to stop further corruption? What scan options should I use? I am using ArchLinux and the reiser4progs package supplied with the dis= tro.
