Greetings! I have a Maxtor Atlas II 15k, 147GB SCSI hard disk and an LSI Logic LSI21320 Ultra320 SCSI Host Bus Adapter for PCI-X (though it's running in a PCI slot). I have partitioned it and installed a temporary Gentoo system with the reiserfs filesytem. My boot partition uses ext2. These partitions seem perfectly stable. I have booted this temporary system multiple times and I have attempted to use it to install a permanent system with the reiser4 filesystem.
After making the fileystems on each partition and mounting them, I was able to download two tarballs (the stage and portage snapshot). While extracting the first, the terminal seems to hang. I switched to another terminal to see what was wrong. Everything works great until I try to do anything at all on a reiser4 partition. Then, this terminal also hangs. Repeat until I'm out of terminals. I've been able to repeat this problem a number of times. The only messages in my log file claimed that a flush failed (with code -12, if I remember correctly). I do not have access to the logs at this time but I will try to get them soon. I am running a 2.6.13-ck8 kernel patched with the 2.6.13 reiser4 patchset. Patitions were made using the 1.0.5 reiser4progs/libaal. In the past, I have also replicated this problem using a 2.6.12-gentoo kernel with the 2.6.12 patchset and 1.0.5 reiser4progs/libaal. Is there something that I can do to fix this problem? Is it a known bug? Also, I am not on the mailing list and I would appreciate it if I could be cc'd with any information about this problem. Thanks, Steve
