You'd have to copy off all the data, mkfs again, and copy it back.
Do you have CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y in the mainline kernel config?
ReiserFS 3.x uses it heavily.
Also, I never claimed that mainline was OK on all hardware - it does
work for me and several others I have talked to. It will heavily depend
on the driver set.
Did you do:
echo 64 > /sys/block/hd*/queue/max_sectors_kb
like I described on the ML and my LAC2006 paper?
You could also use Ingo's latency tracer patch for the mainline kernel o
debug it.
