Replacement 05-data-logging-36.diff.gz file that applies to 2.4.21-pre4-ac5
is available at
ftp://namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/testing/05-data-logging-36-ac5.diff.gz
It compiles, boots, survives my (simple) testing. (writing this email
from patched 2.4.21-pre4-ac5, too). Quota works. symlinks are now have correct
blocks count too
The reason for rejects is mostly DIRECTIO fix that also went into current
bk snapshot, so probably it will apply to Marcelo's bk tree, too.
Chris: Is it intended that directio only works on data=writeback
mounted filesystems?

Also following README file diff should be considered:
