Good Morning, If I do that strace cat <FILE> on another machine, I also see a close(1):
ok. i don't know if this is important at all, i just noticed it.

Filedescriptor? Isn't 1,2 and 3 for STDIN,STDOUT and STDERR? The tune2fs-binary is just what you get, when youo install an SLOX and do the usual updates: --- snip --- slox:~ # rpm -qf /sbin/tune2fs e2fsprogs-1.28-30 --- snip --- On my SLES-9 cyrus-mailserver: mail:/var/spool/imap/user/volker # rpm -qf /sbin/tune2fs e2fsprogs-1.36-6.2 --- snip --- The kernen-version on SLOX is: --- snip --- slox:~ # uname -a Linux slox 2.4.21-295-smp #1 SMP Wed Jun 29 16:45:30 UTC 2005 i686 unknown --- snip --- SLOX is based on United Linux 1, as you can see, a quite old distribution. I think it ios very close to SLES 8.
i really don't know what could've caused the long delays in close(). i'd compile e2fsprogs-1.39-WIP-1210.tar.gz just to be sure no errors on the fs are missed. please respond on-list, so that the e2fs-gurus can comment....
