After the file has been opened, the next file in the same directory takes 45 seconds. If the file was recently opened it returns immediately. I thought this was a low level I/O issue, so copied the files in question to a completely independent RAID array (separate LVM, RAID, controllers, disks), but the problem remains. More details at thread starting from . Any ideas? Please CC me responses. Thanks. Brian May
