What kernel version? What does I lost /bin/sleep mean? Does it mean that: 1. /bin/sleep was truncated to 0 bytes, i.e. ls -l /bin/sleep shows something like -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2005-04-20 18:32 /bin/sleep 2. /bin/sleep disappeared (ls -l /bin doesn't show this file) 3. /bin/sleep exists, but filled by zeros etc... The file was removed by 'fsck.reiser4 --fix' which emmitted a message about deleting a corrupted file. (Case 2 in your list). This always happened after a system freeze or power loss. The machine freezes quite frequently - I think it has a DMA problem. Nevertheless I don't see how a file that was not written to can get corrupted. When performing mapping read (needed for execution, etc) reiser4 converts small files from tails to extents and back (your /bin/sleep is less then 4 * blocksize, right?) Current kernel is 2.6.20.5 (the reiser4 patch I submitted to this list on may 2nd). Please, rebuild your kernel with the official patch http://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4-for-2.6/2.6.20/ It contains a bugfix related to tail conversion (races when acquiring exclusive access). Please, report, if such data loss still takes place after upgrade. Thanks, Edward. Root is mounted rw,noatime,nodiratime,onerror=remount-ro,tmgr.atom_max_age=60 Hope that helps.
[ANNOUNCEMENT/ACTION REQUIRED] reiserfs-list is moving to a new home
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The reiserfs mailing list is moving to a new home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] All current subscribers must subscribe to the new list if you wish to continue using the reiserfs mailing list. The longer version: One of the recurring themes on reiserfs-list over the past few years have been the spam problems and reliability issues. After the recent month-long outage, Flx and I started discussing moving the reiserfs mailing list to a more public server. David Miller, maintainer of vger.kernel.org, has generously accepted our request to host the list there. Vger already hosts LKML and a number of other Linux-related mailing lists. They've already got outstanding antispam tactics developed and deployed on lists they host. The demands of the reiserfs list are a drop in the bucket in comparison to some of the other lists. All current reiserfs-list subscribers must subscribe to the new list if they wish to continue to use the list. There will be no automatic migration. The reason for this is simple: If it turns out that you have problems sending email to/from vger, a silent list would be your only way of knowing. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it helps to reduce problems in the long run. This list will remain open for the next few days in order to answer any questions that might arise. On June 9, reiserfs-list will cease to operate as a mailing list and will instead operate as an alias, forwarding all postings to reiserfs-devel. How to subscribe: Subscribing to the list is simple: Send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subscribe reiserfs-devel as the only content in the body. You'll receive an email shortly afterwards, and you must confirm your subscription. To unsubscribe, follow the same instructions, but use unsubscribe reiserfs-devel instead.

Fine, thanks! Btw, I found your patches blackholed in google, so you might want to resend it a bit later to the new home.. Edward.

I wondered where they went the second time. :) My plan was to wait a few days for people to subscribe and then resend the queue. They're receiving testing already in the SUSE kernel of the day. That kernel will become openSUSE 10.3 alpha5 as well. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGZFXFLPWxlyuTD7IRAvi3AJ0dFfb/D1FcA8YVuhvgktKwPiHIfQCeIs50 8pr2dg7FS4KpMJm7A6gFWro= =S02+ -END PGP SIGNATURE-
