Ok, thanks for the explanation... it was funny to write, though :)

Ehehehe... thanks!

BTW, I just upgraded to 2.6.19, and though I didn't get the infamous
rename of hard disks - I don't understand why - it looks like reiserfs
mount time have incredibly improved. If until the last kernel I needed
at least 30 seconds to mount my partitions, now it takes just two.
What can I say? I'm really impressed to say the least ^_^
