I seen, it's due a my bug in my inode patches. I'm afraid.

Perfect report.

I am happy to hear that my VM is working well for you ;)

Right you are, be careful, don't bother Linus with my bugs.

You can find the bug you reported just fixed if you apply:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/testing/pre-patch-2.2.2-2.gz

on the top of 2.2.1.

Then you have to apply my arca-diff:

ftp://e-mind.com/pub/linux/arca-tree/2.2.2-pre2_arca-1.gz

on the top of 2.2.2-pre2.

Let me know if you'll have problems. 2.2.2-pre2_arca-1 should be rock
solid according to me.

Thanks for the report.
