    Aside from the rest of the discussion on this, did you actually trigger

Yes, but when walking the dentry chain I got to resierfs_file_sync or
something rather than reiserfs_dir_fsync --- two possible fixes,
either have reiserfs internally deal with this (my patch just calls
the dir function from the file function) or try and make the code I
wrote aware of the difference (which technicaly is probably more
correct, I just couldn't figure out how to do it).

I actually made a note to myself to look at merging reiserfs_dir_fsync
and resierfs_file_sync at some point.
