Hi. I don't know if this can help you to improve reiser4:
On a:
Linux jolie 2.6.17.8-reiser4-r3-jolie #1 Tue Aug 15 00:14:45 CEST 2006 i686
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53GHz GNU/Linux
I did a:
rsync -avx --delete-before // /mnt/backup/root/
And as usual I had 3 rsync processes. One of them was in R+ state and at
99%/100% CPU load, the other two were sleeping.
I waited the first time for 20h and no change and rsync was still at the same
file:
etc/mldonkey/actual/donkey.ini.tmp
So I decided to STOP this rsync:
I tried to CTRL-C the rsync. It did not work.
killall rsync did not work.
killall -9 rsync, killed one process and left one zombie process (son of
the 99%-running process), but the running process was STILL in R+ running ...
init 6 told me that it was unable to remount / ro, because of my rsync
process :-)
So I had to pull the plug to stop it ...
The kernel-log from this time told me:

This behaviour was reproducable after reboot.
Then I booted with the www.sysresccd.org v0.2.19 and did a fsck.reiser4 on this
partition. It said I should run "fsck.reiser4 --build-fs".
Unfortunatly I don't have the output of this call (next time :-).
Then I booted into my gentoo linux again ... and now the rsync works fine.
Greetings,
K. Posern
