Have you tried using the xfsqa regression test suite? Despite the name, it will work on non-xfs filesystems (although there are some XFS-specific tests in the test suite.) Both the btrfs and ext4 developers use it to debug their file systems, and it's a good way of stressing the file system in all sorts of different ways that might not be seen during normal desktop usage. I suspect it would be a good way of flushing out potential problems for reiserfs as well.
