Load shot up on the server, file system was useless (could not read or write to any partition) until reboot. I'm upgrading the kernel now to r9, but I thought this may be of use. Let me know if you need more info. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/reiserfs/journal.c:1313! invalid operand: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: iptable_filter CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c01b7ae0>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010202 (2.6.11-gentoo-r6) EIP is at flush_journal_list+0x580/0x640 eax: 00000001 ebx: f8bac1a0 ecx: 00000001 edx: 00000000 esi: ceb851bc edi: 00000000 ebp: c48be880 esp: d6607db0 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process pdflush (pid: 32240, threadinfo=d6606000 task=d846b020) Stack: f8bac1a0 c48be880 00000001 c27f7ce0 c015c07a d6befefc 00000000 f8816000 00000000 00000000 0000004c c48be880 000001ec 00000100 e390c080 c01b7f48 f7ca3000 c48be880 00000001 d6607e10 000001ec 00000003 f88160f4 c48bea00 Call Trace: [<c015c07a>] bh_lru_install+0xba/0xf0 [<c01b7f48>] flush_used_journal_lists+0xd8/0xf0 [<c01bb5a4>] flush_old_journal_lists+0x44/0x60 [<c01bbba2>] do_journal_end+0x5e2/0xa20 [<c01ba085>] do_journal_begin_r+0x25/0x2d0 [<c01407d0>] pdflush+0x0/0x30 [<c01babd5>] journal_end_sync+0x55/0xa0 [<c01a7c69>] reiserfs_sync_fs+0x69/0x80 [<c011733c>] finish_task_switch+0x3c/0x90 [<c01a7c98>] reiserfs_write_super+0x18/0x20 [<c0160163>] sync_supers+0x93/0xa0 [<c013fbc8>] wb_kupdate+0x28/0x110 [<c01406e0>] __pdflush+0xc0/0x1b0 [<c01407f6>] pdflush+0x26/0x30 [<c013fba0>] wb_kupdate+0x0/0x110 [<c01407d0>] pdflush+0x0/0x30 [<c013105a>] kthread+0xba/0xc0 [<c0130fa0>] kthread+0x0/0xc0 [<c0101375>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x10 Code: 04 89 0c 24 e8 d2 39 ff ff e9 bd fb ff ff 0f 0b 1c 05 cd ee 36 c0 e9 ff fe ff ff 89 1c 24 e8 e8 2f 00 00 85 c0 0f 84 01 ff ff ff <0f> 0b 21 05 cd ee 36 c0 e9 f4 fe ff ff b8 60 51 37 c0 89 44 24

Is this reproducable or just a one-off?
I haven't had it happen again, and can't seem to make it happen again either. It was too long ago to remember what exactly the server was doing.
OK, it is probably going to be hard to fix then, and might just have been a disk hiccup or something. Either way, you should mail this report to reiserfs-list@namesys.com incase they can do something about it. I can't see anyone else who has reported the same BUG.
