Hi,
I'm currently running 2.5.3-dj3 with the "fix for inodes with wrong item versions" and got the following errors in dmesg:
vs-825: reiserfs_get_block: [283508 198 0x19001 UNKNOWN] should not be found
[many times]
and after a while:
vs-825: reiserfs_get_block: [799572 866493 0x3001 UNKNOWN] should not be found
[many times]
What does this mean?
Bye

This is very strange in fact.
What do you do to get these messages?

It means that when we are trying to insert a new block in list of file's blocks
(to fill a hole or something) we encountering that somebody have inserted
the block while we were doing other things.
This was the case with truncating file past its end and then mmap-writing there.
But this particular place was fixed by introducing "expanding truncate" patch.
And please CC reiserfs specific bugreports to [email protected]
Thank you.
Bye,
Oleg
