Can't say for a definite fact that it was reiserfs but I can say for a definite fact that something fishy happens sometimes.
If I have a text file open, something.html comes to mind, If I edit it and save it in one rxvt and open it in another rxvt, my changes may not be there. If I save it *again* or exit the editing process, I will see the changes in the second term. No, I'm not accidently forgetting to save it, I know for a fact that I saved it and the first terminal shows the non-modified state with the changes and the second term shows the previous data.
Somewhere something is stuck in cache and what's on disk isn't what's in cache and a second process for some reason gets what is on disk and not what is in cache.
It happens infrequently but it -does- happen.
