Oops. I guess I was a bit too confused myself. :)

1. Errors on /home in syslog, cron jobs running wild with i/o failures
     system kept running for a couple days because nobody was there 
     to fix it, though
     Those errors were probably caused by power outages and 
     a non-data-logging ReiserFS kernel.
2. Backup what's left of /home to firewire harddisk.
3. Update to 2.4.23 with Chris' patches for data logging/quota
4. Repartition hda2..4 (was needed anyway for drbd), 
     reformat new /home (drbd), restore /home on drbd device
5. crash of the server overnight, reboot (don't know why yet)
6. couldn't reboot because root partition was totally b0rken
7. reiserfsck --rebuild-tree under Knoppix, killed a couple files
8. still running Knoppix, secondary server took over and is running now

btw: Is there a "reiserfs stress test" kind of thing to make sure a
configuration works before sending it two time zones away for production? I
plan on doing that in the next couple weeks. =;)
Would bonnie++ accomplish this or are there better tests?
