Hi all,

I am getting a recurrent locking bug with reiser4 on a dual core 64 bits 
machine, running debian unstable amd64
(MB : ASUS A8V, SATA drive)

whenever I apt-get update, the process locks up when apt-get tries to 
msync on the /var/lib/dpkg/status file (according to strace)
The machine is still usable for some minutes, then everything slowly 
starts to get frozen.
After rebooting the FS is corrupted and needs a --build-fs to get 
corrected (btw, there is still this old bug where
when you --build-fs the filesystem is still marked as corrupted and you 
need to rerun a fsck.reiser4 to unmark it  and be able to mount it 
read-write  ...)

well,
this is fully and always reproducible on mm2 and mm1,
I also tried a 2.6.14-rc1 with just reiser4 patches and 2.6.13 with 
reiser4 patch (the one posted yesterday by Hans iirc), and it's also 
reproducible there.

I tried to get more infos but it does not look much helpful :
