Hi Edward, thanks for answering.
No sync doesn't make any difference, I need to unmount.
I don't get any errors, for example if I copy a txt file and I open it
with kwrite, it is simply empty but I get no error from application or
os (like dmesg and alike) and ls or konqueror show me the correct size
of the file, it is simply apparently empty.
If I do file <name> I got empty file.
Thanks,
Paolo

Hi Edward,
Hello.
first thank you for your work.
I'm using reiser4 for all my partitions on my working machine with
kernel 2.6.37 with no problems
except one annoying one that is going on from months.
When I copy a file (whatever) from one directory to another with
konqueror, dolphin or krusader with
kde 4.6.1 the file get copied, it's size is correct but it is empty.
This happen only in the partitions formatted with reiser4 and not on
the xfs, reiser3 ones.
If I restart the pc, when I'm back all the files that were empty are
now ok, it is like on un
mounting the files get finalized and then on the next boot they are
normally accessible.
Does sync(1) without umount make them accessible?
No errors are shown during copy and file system is clean.
Are there any suspicious kernel messages when trying
to access the "empty" files?
Thanks,
Edward.
I discovered that this is also signaled like a kde bug 251392 with
status unconfirmed.
If I copy from a terminal with cp, rsync, mc the file get copied
correctly so it is only in the
combination kde + reiser4 that I get problems.
Don't know if it is a bug of reiser4 or of kde.
My mount options are no_write_barrier,dont_load_bitmap, the rest is
default, the volumes are normal,
I mean not cryptocompress.
An interesting thing, if I format the reiser4 with cryptocompress
support (-o create=ccreg40,
compress=lzo1) this behavior don't happen, I mean the files are copied
correctly so it seems only to
affect normal uncompressed reiser4 volumes.
Hope this can be of help to you.
Thank you,
warm regards,
Paolo
