I have a 1.5TB Western Digital hard disk (WD15EADS-00R6B0)
on my CentOS-5.7 server, which has become incredibly slow
for some operations, eg rsync, BackupPC archive, e2fsck,
although it seems to work fine for ordinary file operations,
and "smartctl -a /dev/sdb" does not report any errors.
For example, running "e2fsck -p /dev/sdb5" on a 250GB partition
on this disk took over 24 hours to complete,
as it did on another partition.
I wonder if anyone can offer an explanation,
or suggest a remedy?
