Flushing like mad

[Morgan Smith <moondog13@gmail.com>]

Good morning.

I have a machine with a reiser4 formatted drive of redundant data on it.
The data is accessed and modified daily as if it were a production
machine except that nobody cares if the data is lost.

I have noticed these warnings in the daily logs:

Jul 14 06:37:08 logan kernel: reiser4[ktxnmgrd:sdb1:r(31883)]: commit_current_atom (fs/reiser4/txnmgr.c:1049)[nikita-3176]:

Jul 14 06:37:08 logan kernel: WARNING: Flushing like mad: 16384


This is even after a file system check with fsck.reiser4 1.0.8 which
reported 0 issues. I don't seem to have any performance issues or data
corruptions though I'd like to provide what information I can regarding
this if it's of any concern. I believe the drive was formatted with the
following options:

create=reg40,hash=tea_hash,fibration=lexic_fibre,formatting=smart
