Ok, let's start with #14 Since google dropped the cache, pull it as the first item of this list: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/3/38 (about set_page_dirty_internal). Also there is a small, but nasty leak of free disk space when process runs in no-space-left-on-device mode. It can be reproduced by the following way: 1) format a small partition by mkfs.reiser4 with no options; 2) mount it and look at "df" output; 3) run stress.sh -n 20; let it to work some time with complaints about no space left on device; 4) terminate stress benchmark and remove everything on the partition; 5) sync and look at "df" output: it can show more used space, then it was reported at (2). It would be great to fix this leak. There is a hint: this leak is related to tail conversion (if you format a partition with "extents only" policy, then it doesn't take place). Thanks, Edward. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe reiserfs-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
