The patch I sent you is still unstable. I am hitting some bugs that I
am trying to fix in my free time (which isn't as much as I'd really
like). I guess that you should wait for a more stable patch or try the
0.24pre5 patch without preempt (and SMP). 

BTW, were you using a SMP system when the fs corruption happened?

Cool, I didn't know this file system. Indeed it would be nice to make
them working together. We could possibly save compressions, depending
on the compression algorithms they use, and when they compress the
data. I guess we should study this fs, thanks for the tip :-)
