I've seen this *many* times on the reiserfs mailing list: ppl are 
complaining that reiserfs was faulty while other filesystems went OK. 
And it turned out to be some hardware issue after all. Now, I can't say that 
I'm 100% sure that the device is to blame, but it seems that some 
hardware bugs are triggered (not caused) by certain fs operations[0], so 
if changing the fs "fixes" it - why not. but it's not a very satisfying 
solution, IMHO.
