I'm wondering if there's something wrong which lets dirty metadata accumulate arbitrarily long between commits, but the normal writeback does seem to be active still --- we do a set_buffer_flushtime() as soon as the buffer gets marked for metadata write, so those buffers shouldn't accumulate forever either. I'll need to reproduce this and trace it, I suspect. --Stephen _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
