Re: Reiser4 + laptop -> ouch

[PFC <lists@boutiquenumerique.com>]

I've been using Reiser4 on my laptop for a while and all I can say is,  
well, that's the only filesystem that makes a crap 5200rpm drive  
responsive and usable. That's really great !

However, there are a few problems...

Sometimes, when I power down the laptop, the usual power down sequence :
- Unmounting Filesystems
- Remounting FS read-only
- Power Down

Stops at "Unmounting Filesystems" and stays there forever ; and I have to  
shutdown the thing manually, pressing for 10 seconds on the power button.  
Annoying.

Also, a few days ago, my laptop battery died and the thing had a hard  
shutdown. The harddisk had spinned down a moment ago (I remember hearing  
it doing its clunk-bzzzzz....). Before you mention, no, I don't use the  
thingie to automatically shutdown the laptop just before the battery dies,  
because ACPI sucks on mine, and 50% of the time it says 0% charge left  
when, in reality, it's at 99%, and the damn thing would shut itself down  
every 5 minutes.

So, after that, my Reiser4 FS died and I had to run a fsck with  
rebuild-tree from a kanotix boot cdrom.

What happened ?
