This guy knows his stuff. Last time I used reiser I didn't pray enough
to keep it going

Yeah ... definitely take note of that sucker , if you ever did dd
if=/dev/someresierdrive of=/home/somemountedreiserfs/img  for  backup
purposes, just either give up the idea of a rebuild tree, or find a
young lamb to slaughter, ,,,, just in case praying ain't sufficient.

And/Or maybe fast a few days first. This is important stuff :S

and possibly random files all over your file system who's names have
no resemblance to their content, which used to be in an uncompressed
reiser, and now is unpacked all over its host FS.

all the best :)
