Perhaps it is due to the fact that I use xfs on software RAID-0 and both HDs have 8MB cache write-back enabled? So, all in all 16MB needs to be commited on/before lock-up, maybe too much for xfs? (This situation was no prob for ext3, though. Thinking again, I never used reiser V3 or V4 on the RAID-0, so my comparison might not have been fair.)
