[Fwd: kernel bug]

[Steve Felt <steve@circlepix.com>]

I'm submitting this again. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am open to any suggestions and I DO appreciate the hard work that's
gone into ReiserFS. I'm not above paying for the core developers' help,
if it comes to that (yes, I've read http://www.namesys.com/support.html and
http://www.namesys.com/faq.html ). Also, I am open to suggestions, such as "you need to recompile the
kernel with..." or "why don't you read..." or "the hardware has to be
replaced..."

I'm getting the following "kernel BUG" on SuSE 9.1 Pro (and on 9.2):

[first, the hw/sw details]
  LSI 929x (7202xp) HBA (fiber channel card)

  Large array of drives (1.4TB)

  cat /proc/meminfo
	MemTotal:      1036148 kB

  cat /proc/cpuinfo
	processor       : 0
	vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
	cpu family      : 6
	model           : 6
	model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) MP 2000+

  cat /proc/mpt/version
	mptlinux-3.01.14.23
	Fusion MPT base driver
	Fusion MPT SCSI host driver

  cat /etc/SuSE-release
	SuSE Linux 9.1 (i586)
	VERSION = 9.1

  dmesg | grep -i reiser | grep sda
	ReiserFS: sda1: found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard 	journal
	ReiserFS: sda1: using ordered data mode
	ReiserFS: sda1: journal params: device sda1, size 8192, 	journal first
block 18, max trans len 1024, max batch 900, max 	commit age 30, max
trans age 30
	ReiserFS: sda1: checking transaction log (sda1)
	reiserfs: disabling flush barriers on sda1
	ReiserFS: sda1: Using r5 hash to sort names

Symptoms:
   I can do an initial rsync of a large amount of data (~300MB) from
another host, but subsequent rsync attempts fail after about 1hour (when
files are actually being copied over/ replaced etc.) with the following:
