When applying the second of the patches available under
reiserfs-for-2.4/2.4.19.pending/testing I get corruptions on any write
comitted to ANY filesystem, including ram.
I cannot give more specifics than adding that patch, doing a simple test
like creating a tar.bz2 out of a folder on my HD (be it SCSI or IDE),
produces a corrupt archive; i.e. testing it with 'bzip2 -t' gives a CRC
error on the archive.
The oddest part is that it does not only affect to reiserfs partitions,
but to any file created on ext2, xfs or even ramfs (/dev/shm)
partitions.
This behaviour was the same with either 2.4.19-pre5-aa1 (aka 2.4.19-aa),
2.4.19 barebone, 2.4.20-pre2, 2.4.20-pre-ac2 ac3 and ac4.
In each of them I had applied the corresponding patches of the main
2.4.19.pending dir which had not been previously merged on the kernel.
I tried different things to avoid those corruptions I was suddenly
getting until I began removing the patches I had applied to all my
testing kernels, and the culprit was 02-reiserfs_file_write.diff.gz
The first one gave no problems, although to be on the safe side, I have
removed it too.
I attach some relevant information about my system.
Let me reinforce the fact that without that I have no problems at all,
and reiserfs is working better than ever :)
