Hi Pavel and Developer list!

Yes, I know. I've KDE running, and the whole desktope seems to work okay if there is this problem. But, after the "crash", no writes to disk are possible anymore! You can even execute some desktop stuff, but after the first 'write' to disc the process will stuck in "wait_on_inode" and sleep uninterruptible. The editor 'joe' during writing of file, sync, bdflush and so on, everything will stuck if it wants to write something to disc.
Bill Hawes send me a patch (thanks a lot for it!) to get more debug info if the problem occurs again. Typically this problem seems to occurs during long operations (with lots of small files) on my slow (compared to the fixed discs) mo discdrive FUJITSU Model: M2512A mounted read/write.
I'm trying to provoke this problem with a lot of disc activity tomorrow to get some debug info.
Thanks a lot for your mail.
Regards
Carsten
