I've been running one of our servers on reiserfs since well before there 
was an ext3. We needed the journalling, /now/. Its been rock solid, as 
has my home box. I strongly suggest that you check your hardware, and 
ensure that the harddisk is running correctly. The only time I ever saw 
problems like that, it was due to a slowly failing hdd controller on the 
motherboard, and was corrupting both the reiserfs and ext3 filesystems 
on the machine.

In all honesty, I've been less than thrilled with ext3, and am very 
inclined to reccomend reiserfs. I've never encountered fs corruption on 
either fs that wasn't caused by dodgy hardware, and I find reiser faster 
and easier to work with.
