I did not expect an improvement. But, the results were actually a lot worse. After starting an rsync which transferred a few 100GB through NFS, I started a sync using time sync. This caused a number of the usual 2 minute timeout messages. But, also it did not close until about 20 minutes after the rsync had completed. All together it ran for several hours. By the way it was not possible to kill the sync using kill -9. This is clearly hopeless. Will anything be done about this in 2.6.33 for fc13? Will the fact that Google is going with ext4 possibly help?
