Certainly, but my completely anecdotal experience is that I've seen
lots of people complain about bad memory causing corruption on their
reiser partitions, while far less people complain about the same
problem with other file systems. I'm not saying reiser is inherently
fragile, but it's a suspicious correlation.
If reiser *wasn't* fragile, I'd expect to see more people complaining
how bad memory corrupted their ext3/xfs/whatever partition.

Yes, you are right, the cause for this incident was faulty memory
and I don't blame reiserfs for failing due to this. But the effect was a unrepairable filesystem and that again was a problem with the repair tools available then.Not necessarily... faulty memory could cause corruption that NO
file system repair tools could repair.--
