Re: Strange problems/bugs with reiserfs and reiserfschk

Hi.

This processor produces much heat but this is only a question of how you
cool it. The system has no troubles with heat and stability. It's a
server which is constantly running and except the mentioned problem
there are no other troubles. I can compile things for hours on that
system so memory and/or heat shouldn't be the problem. When doing disk
access the cpu is mostly idle. Working with lots of files on several
drives had not produced any problems. There are no recent hardware or
software upgrades which coincide with the "bug". The only thing which
coincide is the FS corruption. The other drives are still fine.
