Hi Oleg, as you remember I mentioned you about my loop-aes+lvm+reiserfs
problem, that leaves hung processes after them, and only a cold reboot
could save a solution. well these problems came (in my opinion) after the
introduction of the new block allocator in 2.4.20-preX. in the first
version the new block allocation wasnt the default one, we had to use some
preallocmin= etcetc flag in the mount process. well I would like to try
with a new 2.4.20 kernel the settings for the old allocator. is there a way
to use the old allocator with the new kernel? some mount option or any?
regards,
greg

Yes. Unfortunatelly I only produced 2.4.20+crypto stuff kernel image and
now other more important bugs and problems divert me from looking at your
problem more, sorry.

Well, you can specify "tails=large,alloc=old_way:concentrating_formatted_nodes=10".
This way it will resemble old block allocator pretty much.
Also you can remove the new block allocator patch from 2.4.20 (just apply it
(and later fixes) with -R patch option).
Also it would be interesting if your hangs go away if you apply
iput-deadlock fix: ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/2.4.20-pending/01-iput-deadlock-fix.diff
Thank you.
Bye,
Oleg
