After looking at the code because it was still noisy after I thought I told correctly to be quite, raised a question that I was hoping someone can clarify for me. Reiserfs has both a transaction and a commit and I was wondering what is which. (I am mostly interested in this from the point of what max_trans_age and max_commit_age affect) Thanks
