Hey, this bug was originally about the flush_buffers bug which Vitaly kindaly 
provided me a patch for, however if you look at the last several comment #25 
and on, at least one user is having a different issue with the new 
reiserfsprogs.  My current thought is that it is some kind of actual 
corruption of his journal, but I would appreciate any input you may have.

Thanks a lot!

There is a new check for journal parameters were added which helps to 
recover fs with relocated journal and in a few other cases. These parameters 
were not stored correctly in old kernels before relocated journal appeared. 
This is nothing to worry about, and you can fix with fsck --rebuild-sb help 
- say there to fix parameters in the jouranl by ones from the super block.
