The added vmtruncate calls in the ac series trigger calls to the FS

Hi guys,
The 2.2.x reiserfs journal code marks newly allocated metadata so that if
it is freed in the same transaction (common due to balancing), it can
immediately be reused as a data block. It also allows faster freeing for
these blocks.
This tested patch enables that code for 2.4.x, Alan pl

Hi guys,
A few of the reiserfs errors paths for i/o error neglect to release
buffer heads. This patch makes sure things get released properly
and if dirty buffers were prepared for the log, also makes sure
the dirty bits are reset (by using unfix_nodes intead of pathrelse).

Hello everyone,
This patch makes reiserfs O_SYNC and fsync faster by only
committing the last transcation a file/dir was included in,
instead of forcing a commit on the current transaction.
More speedups are still possible, this patch is fairly conservative.
It is based on 2.4.7-pre6 + the dir

Hello everyone,
2.4.4-pre5 started honoring the s_maxbytes field, so reiserfs needs a
patch to allow files > 4GB on 3.6.x format filesystems.
If you work with large files on reiserfs and are willing to try
the prerelease kernels (non-production), please give this a try,
it works for me but I'
Ok, so all the reiserfs tail bugs weren't quite fixed yet, the last
tail fix can cause problems with highmem turned on. Both bugs are
in fs/reiserfs/inode.c:_get_block_create_0
When reading the tail in, if the buffer was already up to date,
we skip the disk i/o and return. But the cleanup cod
