This is a small diff to fix a problem with umounting ReiserFS volumes in Linux 2.4.5. It is not applied to the tree by default (we like to provide a completely unpatched Linux source tree). If you plan to recompile your kernel and use ReiserFS, it is recommended to apply this patch first: cd linux-2.4.5 zcat ../linux-2.4.5.reiserfs.diff.gz | patch -p1
