| Swap:       321260          0     321260

hmmm. how often does reiser write to the journal?

also, what happens if you unplug the second drive?

finally, if you *watch* top, does anything change when the disk access 
takes place?

There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;  
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand;
Beware the  
People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.
