A journaling file system basically records what it’s about to do in a journal before doing it, such that if power is lost during the operation, after it’s restored, the file system can recover itself. It’s suppose to be “fault tolerant”, but after a recent wind storm and the accompanying power outage, I found that one of the partitions on my hard drive would not mount. The root partition was kinda sorta flaky too, sometimes mounting, sometimes not. [...] [...] ReiserFS is a general-purpose, journaled computer file system that usually only shows up on *nix systems.

It's a desktop machine, and it runs 24/7. Oddly enough, only the one disk seemed to suffer damage. I was not home. It’s a desktop machine, and it runs 24/7.

Is that the thing that absorbs the surges? I know I've seen them before. During power outages, I unplug my computers. It's easy since I just have my laptop. I think that my old laptop got fried on a bad connection (I plugged it straight into a crummy wall plug), as the power no longer works in it, so I am now extra cautious of where I chose to plug in my laptop.
