Hello,

I'm currently testing our new server and though it will primarily not serve 
really large files (about 40-60 users will have a quota of 25GB each on a 2TB 
array), I'm still testing the performance for large files.

So I created an about 300GB fil and the problem is to remove it now. 
Removing it took much more than 15 minutes. Here's the the relevant top line:

 5012 root      18   0   368  368   312 D    21.9  0.0   5:48 rm

Since I didn't expect it to take so much time, I didn't measure the time to 
delete this file.

system specifications:
	- dual opteron 242 (1600 MHz)
	- linux-2.4.26 with all patches from Chris, no further patches
	- reiserfs-3.6 format

The partition with the 300GB file has a size of 1.7TB.


Any ideas whats going on? 


Thanks,
	Bernd
