Speaking of spending the day fscking your disks - has anyone considered developing jfs or any journaling fs for Linux (to avoid just this massive fscking issue)? I haven't read up on what reiserfs promises or is supposed to deliver, but I haven't heard much hoo-hah on the linux-kernel list with regards to any journaling fs support.
Yes, it's being worked on for the ext2 filesystem, but it's going to be a 2.3 feature; it won't make it into Linux 2.2. (We may be releasing standalone modules which you can load into a Linux 2.2 kernel that will provide journaling capability, though.)
