Hi Since upgrading to newer kernels I have serious problems with xfs performance on my root fs. It runs on a software raid 0 with 2 disks. On the same two disks, there are two more partitions running a software raid-1 with ext3. On the ext3 system, I have no issue, so I assume the drives are fine. But on the xfs filesystem, extracting a linux kernel archive takes 5 minutes or more, running ldconfig similarily long. The harddrives are sata-2. I'm running gentoo linux with kernel 2.6.38-gentoo-r1. I'm attaching the kernel config but I guess more info is needed - just let me know what is needed. Thank you Benjamin
