Apart from the above problems with the new N-inode-attrs.patch
2.4.15-pre7 + preempt + ReiserFS patches A-M flies.

Dbench 32 is 10 seconds and nearly 3 MB/sec faster then all kernels I've

BTW If only the little MP3 playback (Noatun, KDE-2.2.2) hiccup after 9-10 
seconds of the dbench test would disappear. I think we need IO reservation or 
priority, no?

BTW2 Dear ReiserFS team have you read the thread about ACLs/extended file
