I've lost several. My solution, stablize the system. There's something not quite right either with the latest reiserfs patches, the SUSE 9 kernel or the combination of LVM/Reiserfs/kernel in SUSE 9. Btw... this problem DOES NOT exist at all in SUSE 8.2.... you crash that baby as much as you want (practically) and I've always been able to get back the important data. My guess is that there is a "fix" for reiserfs that shouldn't be there. With that said... I've seen much the same under ext2/ext3... but it's always been that way with those filesystems. I still like reiserfs overall. Under SUSE it has a good track record... just something not right with SUSE 9.
