Those are the closest to my setups. > Ok I've done one better than that ;) I had wli help make some instrumentation for me to help find the remaining non preemptible kernel portions and set the cutoff to 2ms. Here is what I found: 7ms non-preemptible critical section violated 2 ms preempt threshold starting at reiserfs_sync_fs+0x2d/0xc2 and ending at reiser fs_lookup+0xe2/0x221 9ms non-preemptible critical section violated 2 ms preempt threshold starting at reiserfs_dirty_inode+0x37/0x10e and ending at r eiserfs_dirty_inode+0xb0/0x10e These seem to be the two offenders. Hope this helps.
