Part of my reason for panic was that I recently had my Linux router kick
the bucket. I also used reiserfs on this system and *believe* it was
running a 2.6.8 kernel.

The strange thing about this system was that, at first glance, it
appeared to have a complete hard disk failure. However, when I rebooted
the computer, the system did indeed start to boot. When it came time to
mount the root file system, it became apparent that it had become
corrupt. I've been running Linux systems for years and this was the
first system that I ever experienced a corrupted file system on.

As a result of my success with file systems on Linux in the past, I've
been somewhat lazy when partitioning drives lately. I've been creating
100 MB boot, system_ram * 2 swap, and throwing everything else in the
root. I might have to go back to my old style to separate /, /home and
/usr onto separate file systems.
