mailed the guy who had the same mozilla + reiser problem that I did, but apparently the fix that went into 2.4.3-pre1 that was supposed to fix it didn't, and chris mason (suse guy) is still working on finding the bug. :-/ so this means a ton of my data is on a buggy filesystem. great. at least i have backups. i'm going to do a dry rsync later with my old data to see if anything local is corrupted.

but for now... time to go get some food. thinking dick's, then back to studying. i just took a shower so I can go out in public looking half-way respectable.
