This is, granted, getting a bit OTish... but I've had some serious
reiserfs corruption issues (including the utter lack of bad block
handling, reiserfsck discarding previously accessible data, and assorted
other data-corruption-related Bad Things which happened over a year ago
such that I don't actually remember the details now).

I'm certainly not going to use it to host something as critical as my
revision control system's archive directory.
