The software driver that handles the specific chipset for that drive.
The thing that shows up when you do an lsmod, assuming you have the
driver compiled as a module.

That looks fine. Your filesystem may just be very fragmented. I'm not
familiar with how reiser3 filesystems age, so if you've had the system
