SubjectRe: reiser4 snapshot for August 26th.

I built this with IA64 2.6.0-test4, it works but there were lots of
warnings (I can put up a log if you want it). This was on a dual
processor Itanium 2 box.

First up, I tried a little test to make a few files, but once I had
unmounted the disk I couldn't re-mount it.

--- example testing below ---
bash-2.05b# mkfs.reiser4 /dev/sda5
mkfs.reiser4 0.4.12

Information: Reiser4 is going to be created on /dev/sda5.
(Yes/No): Yes

bash-2.05b# mount -t reiser4 /dev/sda5 /mnt

real 0m18.577s

sys 0m12.657s

[do ls, all looks ok]

bash-2.05b# umount /mnt
bash-2.05b# mount -t reiser4 /dev/sda5 /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5,
or too many mounted file systems

--- end example testing ---
The console popped up with :

reiser4[mount(15688)]: reiser4_fill_super (fs/reiser4/vfs_ops.c:1229)[nikita-2608]:
WARNING: Wrong magic: 10000 != 62533452

when I tried to mount it.

I repeated this, but this time thought I'd try 'sync' before
unmounting the disk; the sync command just hung and from that point
nothing could seem to access disk, even on different partitions (so
each program became unresponsive as soon as it tried to open a file).

Then I tried the mongo.pl script just for something else, I used the
parameters given in the sample config, i.e.

FSTYPE=reiser4
BYTES=250000000
FILE_SIZE=4096

It just seemed to hang in "PHASE Create" and after, say a minute or
two, made the machine unresponsive in the same way as 'sync' above --
as soon as anything tried to access disk it just hung.

So I retried this, and did a ls in the mounted directory just after I
started mongo to try and poke at what it was up to; ls hung in the
same way but this time I got messages :

reiser4[ls(30795)]: traverse_tree (fs/reiser4/search.c:488)[nikita-1481]:
WARNING: Too many iterations: 128
reiser4[ls(30795)]: traverse_tree (fs/reiser4/search.c:488)[nikita-1481]:

reiser4[ls(30795)]: traverse_tree (fs/reiser4/search.c:488)[nikita-1481]:
WARNING: Too many iterations: 2048

that just kept climbing ...

I'm happy to help more, but I think a little more targetting debugging
is required. Could you suggest what would be helpful for me to try?
