Copy of message to William du Bois.

2006-10-15 Thread Christopher Sawtell
Greetings,

FYI, I have just e-mailed William du Bois - Hans's attorney via his web - 
email bridge at
http://www.trabackdubois.com/Bio/WilliamDuBois.asp
thusly:-



I am a user of Hans Reiser's latest software, and am therefore concerned for 
and about him as a fellow human being in his current circumstances.

I'd just like to ask a few questions, and would be very grateful if you would 
be so kind as to tell me:

1) Is there a need for the establishment of a legal defence fund?

2) Can I take it that the delay between his arrest and the date set for him to 
plead is an indication that a serious professional effort is being made to 
ensure that he is in fact psychiatrically fit to plead?

I ask this question simply because some of his public writings would indicate 
that at times the state of Hans's mind hovers directly over  the line which 
separates true genius from insanity.

3) I'm not American so I would like to know if capital punishment still used 
in California?

4) Is Hans currently able to receive postal mail or e-mail? If so what is his 
address please?

5) Is he in need of any small items for his physical comfort?
 
If you would care to tell all Hans's user and development community what the 
situation is then an e-mail to:- 
reiserfs-list@namesys.com
which I believe is still working, would get to us all.

In any case I would be grateful for a reply to my own address:-
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Many thanks.

ps Please would you be kind enough - with appropriate subtlety - to let all 
the various law enforcement people concerned know that what they are doing is 
being watched carefully by people all over the world.

Sincerely etc.,
Christopher Sawtell

 Again, locate Hans and offer comfort and a path to leave this situation.
It would seem that the establishment of a legal defence fund is going to be 
needed, irrespective of Hans' guilt or innocence.

Re: Reiser4: Running out of room still causes corruption

 I'd had more problems with filesystem corruption after running out of

So have I, while using Ktorrent on one occasion and rsync to update a portage 
tree on the other.

Both caused fairly massive filesystem corruption, i.e. 200+ files or 
directories being described as recoverable errors, yet they produced error 
messages when fsck.reiser4 was run with --fix. Then 200+ objects turned up in 
lost+found. I do hope this problem can be fixed because in all other features 
reiser4 is an _excellent_ file system.

If there is anything I, as an experienced user, but not much of a programmer 
any more, can do please ask.

Sorry, but I have not made any records of error messages.

I have a spare disk on the end of a USB wire with which I am happy to 
experiment.

KDE's ktorrent has DHT also.
