Um, what version of reiserfs are we talking about here? I recall |
| 14 |
reading recently on lkml (or maybe it was somewhere else..) reports that |
| 15 |
reiser4 has known and serious problems on non-x86 platforms, and maybe |
| 16 |
that extends to AMD64 as well.... |

If you are using the stable reiser3.6 (the only option available in the |
| 19 |
gentoo-sources or vanilla-sources), well, I would be very surprised if |
| 20 |
this was a bug there, because noatime and notail are very common options |
| 21 |
and it is a very popular filesystem. I would put my money on bad ram or |
| 22 |
memory timings in this case. |
