re! I guess that according to LSB it's the only way - to install it into /usr/local/sbin - because it's additional installed software and does not come with default distribution. If reiser4progs is package included in distribution then it should be installed /sbin or /usr/sbin. that's my

Hi! re! Are we looking on wrong suspect - snip from code looks like this: fd = open(f, O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT, 0); and is not working for reiserfs3 filesystem? reiserfs is supposed to support O_DIRECT. Please provide more details about the problem. File is opened with fd = open(f,

re! Are we looking on wrong suspect - snip from code looks like this: fd = open(f, O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT, 0); and is not working for reiserfs3 filesystem? Or in other words is reiserfs3 supporting reading with O_DIRECT flag? Writing works well with 0_DIRECT on reiserfs3. Gorazd

hi! I have strangely long delay (still waiting at the time) when unmounting or syncing partition with reiser4. At the same time writes are occuring to disk subsystem - when checking vmstat and of course checking disk activity light ;). Why does it take so long and it will ever finish ?:) I

Hi! Probably you just have a lot of dirty buffers in RAM and they need to flush to disk? Hmm.. I'll try explain .. Before I did sync or unmount, application, that previosly wrote to reiser4 partition was closed. In moment of running sync or umount OS had about 1.7gb of data in cache memory.

I have no idea, and so I must guess. I guess that if you try the same application on a different computer it will work reasonably fast and that the problem is hardware doing extensive retries. We have tests on ext3 and it wasn't like fast, but few minutes, not 30 minutes.. Or, you are doing
