This is the EXT3 File System mailing list. I don't mean to be rude; it's just that you may get better answers to your questions on another mailing list. > Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it? Off the top of my head, it sounds like your system is thrashing. Is there some out-of-control process hogging all the memory? Some links I found on google.com include: http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/oracle/guide8i/ch05_01.htm The 2.6 kernel has better multitasking capabilities. You may want to try building a custom kernel with SMP and 4 GB High Memory with Preemptive Multitasking turned on. But like I said, this is all off the top of my head. Joseph D.
