The
Wired article concludes...
From his seat at the defense table, Reiser seemed to offer supporting evidence for that so-called "geek defense" in the form of his own actions, frequently quarreling with his attorney, and interrupting DuBois' cross-examination. In January, Judge Goodman threatened to bar Reiser from his own trial. "I'm not sure whether you're doing this on purpose to screw up the process or it's just part of your nature," the judge said outside the presence of the jury. "I'm tired of you disrupting the courtroom."
DuBois made little effort to hide his frustration with his client. The biggest bone of contention was Reiser's insistence on taking the stand himself — a move that may have been Reiser's undoing.
On many of Reiser's 11 days on the stand, jurors were seen shaking their heads in disbelief, laughing to themselves and wearing skeptical looks.
Ok, I'm not one to hold a grudge but quoting
myself from six years ago:
Welp, reiserfs has officially decieved me.
Kernel Panic: Unable to mount root filesystem on 03:07
reiserfsck —rebuild-tree /dev/hda7
[UNCORRECTABLE ERROR] SECTOR 110!
[UNCORRECTABLE ERROR] SECTOR 111!
[UNCORRECTABLE ERROR] SECTOR 112!
[UNCORRECTABLE ERROR] SECTOR 113!
[UNCORRECTABLE ERROR] SECTOR 114!
It then makes it to about 133 before aborting and dying. Good times indeed.
For those not in the know, that means, I just lost my / linux partition with all of my data on it. Suck suck suck.
Edit: No seriously—this fucking sucks. hard. =/

advice: Do not use reiserfs.
ben: told you cough
i was right!
I accept your apology.
You were only right because you are a accept-defaults nazi. It wasn’t specific insight into ReiserFS.

I started using XFS for everything around that time anyway and now just use ufs/hfs+/whatever.
