Hi,

I wouldn't blame Plan 9 for damaging another partition it shouldn't
even touch. I'd blame ReiserFS. I heard several stories from friends
and collegues who used ReiserFS about file system corruption. You
might want to use your favorite search engine, but from my point of
view ReiserFS isn't stable enough for everydays use.
The alternatives are either called ext3 or jfs, I suppose. XFS is
nice, too, but it tends to corrupt the file system in case of a sudden
system crash (e.g. after power fail), especially on heavy loaded file
systems.
