ReiserFS is installed on this array. The box is a Debian woody machine, and was in the middle of running dpkg. Files all over the system have been scrabled - replaced with garbage text, other executables, sections of data files. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to the file corruption. There are no messages in the logs. Unfortunately, this is a pretty critical box and I need to start restoring its functionality ASAP. I don't really have time to debug the problem. I've extracted the filesystem metadata and put it up at http://willow.seitz.com/~ross/metadata.bz2 if anyone thinks there would be relevant information. The machine is an AMD-K6-2/500 with 168M of RAM. It's running 2.4.17 over RAID1. The operating system is Debian woody - other than this disk failure, the machine has been rock solid.
