fsck.reiser4 wrong size error (?)

[Francesco Biscani <frbiscani@jumpy.it>]

Hi,

lately whenever I run fsck.reiser4 I get loads of errors about wrong sizes, 
e.g., something like [1] "Object foo (stat40) has wrong size, should be X 
bytes". fsck suggests to --fix them, which I do, and indeed another run of 
fsck confirms that there are no problems. However after mounting the 
partition and working a bit on it, I get those size errors again, even if the 
partition was umounted cleanly. This happens:

- with 0.5.6, 0.5.6-fixed and 1.0.0 reiser4progs,
- on two different partitions on two different machines,
- before and after updating the fs layout (by means of debugfs -C).

I'm running the latest _stable_ snapshot (against 2.6.8-rc2-mm2), but I 
remember this happening also with previous auto-snapshot (though it did not 
use to happen in my early 0.5.6 days). What's going on here?

Regards,

  Francesco
