I don't know any details about that trashes. Do that people used old
reiserfs or new one, was it consistent before resizing. Some special

If someone will send all this stuff to me (and probably the filesystem
metadata, which can be obtained by debugreiserfs) I say something useful
and if find a bug will fix it.
