Regarding the long fsyncs, here's a trace...
I upgraded to a more recent kernel - 2.6.18.6 - and ran it on a workstation.
This particular box has In this case the elevator is CFQ.
This sample came from a stall that lasted about 2.5 minutes(!) - the longest
one I've seen yet. The box is a bit more memory constrained than the
original system but exhibits similar behavior. It doesn't page. Also,
there is no raid card - simply striped PATA drives.
Thanks!
Matt
