    This is all well and good, but the machine having the problem is brand new
    and the drive isn't that big. So I don't really think it's a power supply
    issue. It works ok, until the power goes out then reiserFS doesn't
    recover. It's a journaling file system and therefore should be able to
    survive when it is not shutdown properly. Right?
