Well, looking at this metadata dump, I cann reasonably assure you that
this dump was taken from fs that was written to without first applying
the patch I sent. (same block, zero, block, zero pattern in indirect items)

In other mails you write that now you see only some of files are differs
(as opposed to every file gets corrupted). Or may be there is a pattern
like "files less than 8k in size are uncorrupted and everything bigger
is corrupted"?
So can I look at the debugreiserfs -d output for the filesystm where
that happens (and I want to know filename of a corrupted file too).

My own alpha boot attempts are doomed it seems. the kernel I build on alpha itself
jumps to address zero before starting init. Hm. Or may be it is just unhappy with gcc 3.2.2,
time to build gcc 2.95.3 there, it seems.

Thank you.
