My problem was due to issues in splice code path which GNOME switch to for file copying along the way. I already reported this to GNOME [1] as well as this ML [2,3]. The issue appearing in only uncompressed partitions is interesting, Edward already asked me if mine was, which isn't. My current workaround is to use a patched version of glib (part of gnome libs) that avoids using splice for reiser4 targets. If you have a KDE bugzilla account, can you also provide them links for discussions in the list as well as the GNOME bug? 1: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615346 2: http://marc.info/?l=reiserfs-devel&m=127096098705179&w=2 3: http://marc.info/?l=reiserfs-devel&m=129275181431455&w=2 -- 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
