When raid5 daemon do resync array after unclean shutdown, mounting _other_ reiserfs filesystems is too slow. (for example: 5 seconds without running resync daemon, 2 minutes with it). This bug only arrives on uniprocessor machines - on SMP all work fine. I trace mount execution it's sleep on __wait_on_buffer.
