Okay, everybody, thanks for all the input!

Since this is a server in my office, I couldn't test until I arrive in my
office.

I'm now (just) arrived in my office, and I will try the following:

1. Create Reiserfs on a different partition, and

2. Create a different fs on the problematic partition.

I'll report back with what happened.
