Sounds like fsync issues. That is being worked on.
I'm think it's writeout that's involved, I tried to disable fsync and it
helped for apps that are calling fsync to keep data integrity (like
sqlite) but it also happens when I'm downloading files using rtorrent
which does not call fsync but generetes many little writes.
Hmm. Fragmentation, maybe? Is this easily reproduceable with a
freshly-formatted fs?
I'm just guessing here...
