I have been running reiser on my home machine and a server at work
for a year now without incident. There were some bugs a few years
back but it seems to be in good working order these days.
I'm not sure if it could be a SATA_NV driver problem, a hibernate
problem, or a ReiserFS problem or a combination of the above. For
hibernation, I had the resume2 kernel boot option set as /dev/sda1 (my
swap partition). I do not have suspend2 installed though, I have been
relying on its fallback settings to ususpend or sysfs (not sure which
one is actually executed).
Sounds like your hibernation corrupted the disk, but without more
specifics, this is just educated guesswork.
No. I still see corruption on Suse with Reiser FS. It's always very
subtle (like the last block of a file doesn;t get copied or gets
corrupted. We have been running our ftp server on ReiserFS, and as
soon as I can get it moved back to ext3, we are doing so.
We have had a lot of issues with corrupted RPM files and builds on
ReiserFS. If you can get the files copied to the
FS ok, they seem to stay that way. moving a lot of data with recursive
copies seems troublesome and some of the files
seem to get the ends clipped off of them.
