> Are you sure it is a ReiserFS and not a kernel thing? I would think it is probably not. I have seen this also when running things like "badblocks /dev/hdb" and the kswapd eats up all CPU recourses. Then again I am always using ReiserFS so I do not know if the ReiserFS is the cause or not.. But judging from badblocks is not FS dependantI think there is no wrong with ReiserFS =)
