Hi Rafael,

I haven't seen the 120secs timeout yet, but using 2.6.31-rc5 there _are_
some delays that I am not sure of. Sometimes it takes about 30 secs till
the XWindow server comes up, for example. (I use xinit on the command line
at login. / and /home are both reiserfs.) For 2.6.30.4 and older I haven't
seen this delay yet, AFAIR.

Most recent event: I tried to format a 4 GByte USB stick with reiserfs.
Here is the screen output:

        # device=/dev/sdf
        # parted $device mklabel gpt
        Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/sdf will be destroyed and
        all data on this disk will be lost. Do you want to continue?
        Yes/No? Yes
        Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab.

        # parted -- $device mkpart primary 0s -1s
        Warning: You requested a partition from 0.00B to 4127MB.
        The closest location we can manage is 17.4kB to 4127MB.
        Is this still acceptable to you?
        Yes/No? Yes
        Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab.

        # mkreiserfs -l usbstick /dev/sdf1
        mkreiserfs 3.6.21 (2009 www.namesys.com)
        :
        :
        UUID: 154d66cc-02ac-4979-9a39-163e3cf80623
        LABEL: usbstick
        ATTENTION: YOU SHOULD REBOOT AFTER FDISK!
                ALL DATA WILL BE LOST ON '/dev/sdf1'!
        Continue (y/n):y
        Initializing journal - 0%....20%....40%....60%....80%....100%
        Syncing..ok
        ReiserFS is successfully created on /dev/sdf1.

It took about 2 to 3 minutes till the "ok" in the "Syncing" line
was shown. /var/log/messages was silent. When I tried to reproduce
the delay it was gone, of course.

Since I would like to try 2.6.31-rc6 anyway, maybe you could post
some hints about what debugging options to set in the config file?


Many thanx

Harri
