This is 2.6.5 kernel with euivalent of Stephen's patch. 'setquota' sets user and group quota for 40,000 userids and 40,000 groupids. 'mktree' writes one byte into 40,000 files and sets their owner and group to 40,000 unique values. unpatched patched setquota 4m2.9 3m42 sync 0m0.1 0m0.1 mktree(1) 7m3.8 7m50 sync 7m50 0m0.8 mktree(2) 7m23 6m40 sync 7m49 0m1 On my 'big' system sync still runs unexpectedly long (40sec - 4min) but it is by far better than it was before the patch... Thanks everybody involved! Eugene
