Was this on an ATA disc by chance?  I imagine that this sort of file
system would be extremely fragile with write caching.  That aside, I
don't see why (in theory) the filesystem should be any more susceptible
to damage than similar systems without fixed-location metadata.
ATA disk (Raidzone box, if you're familiar with them).  As near as I 
could tell, it is (was?) just QoI issues with Reiser.

We also had horrible issues with FlexLM and Reiser (as in "FlexLM won't 
run when you have / mounted on a ReiserFS volume") at Cadence.  Nobody 
could ever figure out why.  Thankfully, we didn't have to try to support 
such a configuration (license manager bugs were nightmares for users and 
developers alike).
