Wow that is awesome. Is there a short version explanation of what the patch patches? Just for those of us who are curious. Of course don't spend more than 5 mins writing it, pushing rc15 is way more important. You can see one post he made to the newsgroup here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.reiserfs.general/24257 He has not posted the patch there yet, but what it does is back out the changes he talks about. I have also studied the patch and it does the right thing. Great news! Thanks for all your hard work on this. It's the large part of what makes unRAID such a great product.

Running 5.0-rc5 and I can confirm that ext4 works fine. The only problem is that you can't use the ext4 partition as the cache drive. Kind of a non-starter for me. I'm looking at automating wiper.sh. You could issue a quick "mount -o remount,ro /mnt/cache", but more likely than not you'll get a busy error. That means shutting down all processes with open files (e.g., plugins like dropbox). Probably a good idea to stop Samba also.
