Subject: Bug#304342: /sbin/mkreiserfs: created a filesystem with
mkreiserfs -b 1024 and it hangs anything trying to write to it
Package: reiserfsprogs
Version: 1:3.6.19-1
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/mkreiserfs
I created a partition made of 2618595 sectors (~1.3 GB) /dev/hda6 and
created a filesystem on it with
mkreiserfs -b 1024 -l /var/cache/wwwoffle /dev/hda6
Anything trying to write on the filesystem (tried mc and touch) hangs
completely, shows about 60% to 65% CPU usage in top and is unkillable,
even with -9. After 20 minutes of such state I rebooted it with
<Alt>+<SysRq> b
as nothing else would stop it.
Then I tried "touch t1" on the filesystem, with the same result.
<Alt>+<SysRq> b again.
reboot won't work, as the partition would not unmount.
