OTOH - there's seems to be more places for an improvement - now trinity often
runs hours
w/o problem (before it runs within a rather short time into such issues).
But today I got another case (I did not patched the source files except the
mentioned patch by Jan Kara)
where the trinity call cycles since 2 hours w/o any progress. But fortunately
the system is still responsive,
ssh works and I can shutdown that virtual machine smoothly, furthermore all
local and remote file systems
can be unounted cleanly - so that patch is a big improvement).
