[opensuse] Process Hangs / D-wait / Novell Bug 336669

Hi,

<https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=336669>

This is a very uncool situation. I encounter these processes hanging in
D waits quite a lot and it is very disruptive.

Whatever the problem is, and it seems to be one of those bugs
exacerbated by multi-core systems that we've known was going to be
haunting us as multi-core CPUs proliferate, this one, apparently in the
Reiser filesystem code, is particularly pernicious.

Had I know about this, I'd never have gone with Reiser for my file
systems when I installed 10.2 (now 10.3).

How close is Novell to releasing a fix?

Alternately, is there any good way to convert file systems? I've never
had to do it before, and the only way I can think of is to dump, mkfs
and restore, and I don't know what sort of pitfalls that presents.


Peeved and alarmed,

Randall Schulz
