Hi all.
It seems I do have the long-awaited fix.
The symptoms of the problem: kernel starts to issue complaints
about key inconsistency with the suggestions to check the partition
with fsck. Fsck sometimes finds corruptions, but sometimes reports
that file system is consistent.
Please apply the attached patch to reiser4 stuff for 3.6.2, or
download reiser4-for-3.6.4 (which already contains this patch), and
let me know if the problem has not gone:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/reiser4/files/reiser4-for-linux-3.x/
Please, don't rush to deploy production systems on reiser4: it can
take up to 80 hours to reproduce the problem with high workload.
Thank you for your help.
Edward.
Update dkeys of the pair of nodes, which took participation
in the "implicit shift" during squalloc on the twig level in
flush time.
