Sometimes at 20% sometimes at 60%. Since mkreiserfs is not using the kernel module i guess this is a loop device problem in 2.4.1 kernels. There is no dmesg message at the lookup. mkreiserfs is in state 'D'. The system issomewhat useable (X) but some programs just lock in syscalls (no su or login possible). If I run losetup -d /dev/loop0 on that device i will get a message that it is busy, but the program will not return enymore. It is in 'D' also. This is an unecncrypted loop device on a ext2 filesystem on a AIC-7861. Loop is autoloaded as a module. Wanted to try reiserfs with some verbose debugging for some time. Well, perhaps md is my friend...
