How many files are in /raid/data, excluding subdirs? If it's many tens of thousands ls will be slow, but I'd not think multiple minutes worth of slow. Please post output of 'df /raid' Likewise, 'xfs_db -c frag /dev/[device] -r' device being that upon which the XFS resides. > I don't see any errors in dmesg or syslog.

I'd wait for one of the devs to respond here before deleting it. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
