Ok, then I was not totally off then.

Absolutley. This is a filesystem ontop of a DeviceMapper stripe with 2
Seagate disks. I guess I run the kinda the same setup as the earlier
report, but with different raid setup. This not a SMP system, just one
celeron machine. It mainly runs VmWare server 1.0.4 and NFS/Samba
services, not that much load on the server at all. The vmware files are
not on JFS partition.

Yes, I will.
