It's nearly always reiserfs that causes the disk to spin up. Also, I'm
seeting the harddisk led light up every 5-7 seconds :-( weird.

Does 2.6 laptop mode patch even include the necessary reiser changes to
make this work properly?

The reiserfs patch for "commit=" was included in Linux 2.6.1. I really don't know if it works with laptop mode, haven't tested it -- I don't use reiserfs. So, let's ask the world: is there anyone out there who is running laptop mode *successfully* with reiserfs?
