Too bad that the changelog for -ac6 doesn't mention reiserfs, so I didn't
bother trying it.

Another problem is that the archive at
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/ updates only once a
day. I checked it and decided that my information could still be useful.

I'd be grateful if somebody pointed me to a better archive.

Try http://www.lib.uaa.alaska.edu/linux-kernel/ - it updates in pretty close
to real-time, and you can search the archives as well.

2.4.5-ac5 locks on ReiserFS umount (ac4 doesn't)

[Pavel Roskin]

Hello!

I'm using ReiserFS in the kernel, not as a module. My root filesystem is
ReiserFS. I mounted another ReiserFS partition and then tried to unmount
it. umount hung. sync hung. shutdown hung.

Both umount and sync were shown in the "D" state on Ctrl-ScrollLock.

I reverted to 2.4.5-ac4 and could not reproduce the problem. I saw a
suggestion that it may have to do with module unloading, but in my case
reiserfs is not a module.
