Ok, thank you Edward. I will try again with the 2.6.38 when you will release a patch, for now I think I will reformat with XFS just to have the copy/move working :-) I prepared a pc with reiser4 and 2.6.38 (that got released today) different from this main one, waiting for the patch. Thank you, again.
