2.6.18-rc3 - ReiserFS - warning: vs-8115: get_num_ver: not directory or indirect item

[Jesper Juhl]

I just got a warning message with 2.6.18-rc3 that I've never seen before :

  ReiserFS: sda4: warning: vs-8115: get_num_ver: not directory or indirect item

The message showed up twice in dmesg during two parallel "make -j3"
builds of the 2.6.18-rc3 kernel source in two sepperate directories.
I've tried to reproduce it but without luck.

It would be nice if someone could tell me what the message means and
wether or not I should be worried about it.

Interesting. I have seen this by chance on a plain Debian 3.1r2 (which I 
already have deleted again in the meantime, because it was just that: a 
test vm).

I have seen the same message (if I remember correctly) on my laptop whenever
I tried to _compile_ the nvidia driver - it wasn't loaded yet. A switch to
XFS made it go away ;)
