Hi Udo,
If i am logged in as root, my root reiserfs partition is corrupted, and if I am logged in as user, the user reiserfs partition is corrupted due to the necessary reset ! I am interested in your ideas...
... I don't know about that driver problem. But what I do know about is loads of problems with the combination of SuSE 9 and reiserfs!
reiserfs used to be a very reliably file system which is why SuSE chose it to be default. Following my own bad experience with the combination reiserfs and SuSE 9 I can highly recommend xfs. reiserfs was great up to and including SuSE 8.2 but has trouble with 9.0. This may be different in 9.1, who knows? But until then I can only recomment xfs. And don't worry about the performance. I checked both and they're both the same.
Also, if you have firewire drives attached then xfs is definitely the file system you want unless you like millions of messages of buffer overflows and a resulting corrupted filesystem on your firewire drive...
Hope this helps. -- cul8er,

That is the bug !!!!!!! (at least for now) I replaced a reiserfs partition by xfs and no more locking !! So I will change now step by step all user partitions to xfs and let the users play with kde 3.2.1. They are the best testers. If the locking does not show up again, it was indeed the reiserfs (on the kernels 2.4.19, 2.4.21, 2.4.25 and 2.6.3). Stay tuned... Udo
