I have read that if AMD would give an AMD64 cpu that would be a big help, but it doesn't seem inheriantly impossible to fix the problem from error reports and such. Anyways, here are the results for my testing. I used a mm 2.6.10-rc2 kernel and the filesystem was in a file mounted by loopback. http://users.wpi.edu/~chanin/r4log.txt The commands I tried were as follows: (r4 was a 512mb file made by dd) mount -o loop /root/r4 /root/r4dir (worked) df -h (worked) cd /root/r4 (worked) ls (worked) ls -la (worked) mkdir linux (worked) cp -r /usr/src/linux linux (worked, but the program hung at the end, kill -9 had no effect) ls (worked, but the program hung at the end, kill -9 had no effect) cd /root/r4 (no output, program crashed immediately) Thanks for taking the time to read over the problems - and if there's anymore testing I could do or whatnot just ask; and, thanks for making what will (hopefully) soon be the fastest file system to work on my computer!
