Hi Rafael, I haven't seen the 120secs timeout yet, but using 2.6.31-rc5 there _are_ some delays that I am not sure of. Sometimes it takes about 30 secs till the XWindow server comes up, for example. (I use xinit on the command line at login. / and /home are both reiserfs.) For 2.6.30.4 and older I haven't seen this delay yet, AFAIR. Most recent event: I tried to format a 4 GByte USB stick with reiserfs. Here is the screen output: # device=/dev/sdf # parted $device mklabel gpt Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/sdf will be destroyed and all data on this disk will be lost. Do you want to continue? Yes/No? Yes Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab. # parted -- $device mkpart primary 0s -1s Warning: You requested a partition from 0.00B to 4127MB. The closest location we can manage is 17.4kB to 4127MB. Is this still acceptable to you? Yes/No? Yes Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab. # mkreiserfs -l usbstick /dev/sdf1 mkreiserfs 3.6.21 (2009 www.namesys.com) : : UUID: 154d66cc-02ac-4979-9a39-163e3cf80623 LABEL: usbstick ATTENTION: YOU SHOULD REBOOT AFTER FDISK! ALL DATA WILL BE LOST ON '/dev/sdf1'! Continue (y/n):y Initializing journal - 0%....20%....40%....60%....80%....100% Syncing..ok ReiserFS is successfully created on /dev/sdf1. It took about 2 to 3 minutes till the "ok" in the "Syncing" line was shown. /var/log/messages was silent. When I tried to reproduce the delay it was gone, of course. Since I would like to try 2.6.31-rc6 anyway, maybe you could post some hints about what debugging options to set in the config file? Many thanx Harri
