:D That is kinda weird, come on! ext3/ext4 are solid fs, and have
always been. the lost+found folder is a remainder of the ext2 era, and
is not even mandatory any more, AFAIU.

I lost several filesystems with buggy reiserfs versions, back in the
days, and refused to use it ever again, basically because ext3 had
become reliable and dependable in the meanwhile. Then Hans Raiser
stopped its development, for other reasons...
