Around noon today puck started spewing reiserfs errors about missing metadata. The load average shot up and I was forced to do a controlled reboot. Currently I am running reiserfsck on all affected filesystems, and hopefully there will be no errors and I can bring puck back up as soon as possible.
I don't think any data will be missing, but just in case, our last backup was completed on the 8th, so all older data is definitely safe.
I'm quite unimpressed by ReiserFS at this point. I've used ext3 on almost every other Linux system I own, and only ReiserFS has ever failed of its own accord. Next time there is even a hint of trouble on puck I plan to reformat /home and /srv as ext3.
