["bo" <bo@sosnetwork.net>]

Hello,

I have more information on this issue as folow;

System:  ARM9, 32M RAM, IDE, debian_arm_linux2.4.5
filesystem size = 120 G
When to happen:

   > mkreiserfs /dev/hdf1
   or
   >mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdf1 /mnt/hdf1

  The cosole message:

   >reiserfs: warning: CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is set On
   >reiserfs: warning:  -it is slow mode for debugging
   >reiserfs:  checking transaction log(device 21:01)

???   It took 2-3 seconds(1 out of 5), or 3-4 munites(1 out of 5)
        or forever(3 out of 5) to complete.

System status at this time: from another console( run "top")
