First, thanks for this great filesystem. Been using it for years without probs, so I hope it gets integrated into the mainline soon. However, I'm having some problems after upgrading from kernel 2.6.31.6 to 2.6.33. This is a 64 bit gentoo-patched kernel (just patches for stability, I believe - no new features), with the reiser4 patches from Edward's site. It's happened to me twice now that my X session locks up and I see the following in my logs: Mar 19 15:05:23 [kernel] WARNING: Keys are inconsistent. Fsck? Mar 19 15:05:23 [kernel] reiser4[gconfd-2(6033)]: cbk_level_lookup (fs/reiser4/search.c:963)[vs-3533]: The previous time it happened the messages were similar but the process was 'firefox' instead of gconfd. When this happens it quickly fills up the logs and old ones are overwritten; so I'm never able to get initial messages that may help diagnose the problem. I have the full set of logs if you are interested, but it just repeats the same message over and over. After this, I can only cold boot, and the filesystem refuses to mount, but I'm able to fix it with fsck. It complains about 'delimiting' keys being zero. I fix this with the relevant fsck switch and as far as I can tell there is no permanent damage to my files. Finally I should mention that I also have a R4 root partition but that hasn't had any problems. This is only happening on my home partition. I should also note that it's mounted over a LUKS device using /dev/mapper. I don't know much about the way that works, but I think it just treats it as a block device, so if the problem were there, it would manifest itself in different ways in the R4 layer. The fact that it's always setting the delimiting keys to zero makes me think it's an R4 problem. But then again I don't know much about this so I could be utterly wrong. Please let me know if I can contribute in any way. -- 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
