Has this issue been addressed? When I delete something large..say a
mozilla cvs tree, rm will stall for about 10-30 seconds every few
minutes in wait_on_buffer.
It's an IDE drive, nothing fancy on the system, it's a standard pII w/
256 megs, about 50megs free. 'sync' also stalls similarly.

Ok, what is going around? Lately kernels have been OOPSing left and
right inside and out, up and down. Are people not checking initializers
and return values?
