Hi again,
..."after some time", so right after mkfs df(1) is telling the truth? Does it drop to 52MB all of a sudden or does it decrease slowly? does it happen with other/former kernels too?
Well the cable was bad - it worked well on another computer but on mine it lead to usb read failures. It never drops to 52mb, it gros to a 55GB disk, this happened as soon as I got messages about invalid fat read operations on syslog. (caused by the usb problems)
Does it happen without the tweak? Why are you using -O3 anyway, does it really make a difference?
Don't know since it works now. Well under normal circumstances I guess -O3 does not make much difference (since kernel is much more "generic" code instead of numbercrunching stuff) but since I use cryptocompress at least reiser4 is crunching numbers ;) lg Clemens PS: I am really impressed about the stability of reiser4 - I never ever had a single problem. However performance is terrible with cryptocompress enabled: - Drive does way too much seeks - Directory listing is slow - a directory listing using konqueror takes about 10s the first time I open konqueror (with 148files/folders in it), the second time its as fast as it should. - Writes block sometimes the system, nerving while watching video or playing games. - Delete operations sometimes take a lot of time (deleting a e.g. 500mb video file). lg Clemens
