ok attached is strace log of cp on 2.6.32.9
the reiserfs_check doesn't spew anything that I could see
and 2.6.33-rc also didn't help

now I've had a hd drop out of raid (running checks on it atm)
and seen some other issues that make me wonder about the quality of the hardware
the 2.6.32.9 was compiled on a different computer to eliminate that
possibility but didn't help alas
I intend to replace this computers motherboard if I still see the
issue I will start doing bisect
at that point but the issue might go away as some configuration I have
will change (dropping the raid5)

time frame will be probably a few weeks at best
