In all my years, and more different filesystems than I care to think
about, journalling or not, _all_ partitions contain a lost+found
directory.  Someone at reiser must think you'll never need it, but I'd
create one (use the mklost+found utility to do it right).  Otherwise,
where do you dump disconnected inodes (and don't tell me reiserfs will
_never_ have this issue).
