Kernel: Gentoo 2.6.22-r2 + reiser4-for-2.6.22-2.patch fstab: /dev/sda2 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2 /dev/sda5 / reiser4 0 0 /dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sda6 /home ext3 noatime 0 0 reiser4 partition is with cryptocompress (lzo) default settings. I usually mount r4 with -noatime, but after some debbuging with some users on irc (rvalles), who have intermitent large stalls, we found that only difference between our setups was my -noatime flag in fstab. I tried to mount / without -noatime, started gnome, and then in about same time evolution, firefox, played some mp3s, avis, did a kernel compile, emerge -uD world (compiled few packages), acessed some random fles in /usr/src/linux, started gnome disk usage analyser etc. and had no stalls at all. And then I tried to reboot. System stalled for 3min 25 sec (i was ready with a watch :)) before printing the first message, with heavy disk activity. Upon reboot I just changed line in fstab with nano to mount r4 with -noatime and rebooted agin. Now there were no stalls.
