I doesn't cleanly compile against libaal-0.4.15.tar.gz, patch (lame one ;) ):

Another trivial problem: there is also no manpage for copyfs - only cpfs ...

Another problem: reiser4 'dumps core' when the partition it's on is made 
smaller (using fdisk) - reiser v3.6 - refuses to mount such thing... When 
reiser4 is in such a way crashed, the filesystem cannot be unmounted cleanly 
anymore (even after restart, kernel hangs), though mount ... -o ro ... in 
fstab helps - I was able to recover data without any kernel oops-es :).

Yet another one - movie playback in mplayer sometimes seems jerky (nothing 
like that in reiserfs v3.6).

Reiserfs patched 2.6.0 kernel (reiser4-2003.12.23.all.diff.gz).
