And people with statistics background can probably explain even better than me why it's interesting to remove the extremes and compare that too. kind regards, David Sommerseth

I see that you're using kernel-2.6.32-279.1.1.el6.x86_64 ... that smells a bit like a SL 6.3 Beta ... is that right? As SL 6.2 is usually around 2.6.32-220-something. I would probably recommend you to try a 6.2 kernel if you're running something much more bleeding edge. And it somehow seems to be related to some file system issues ... at least from what I can see. Could be a bugy kernel which leaks memory, somewhere in either the parition table code or ext4 code paths. Not sure I'm able to provide any better clues right now. kind regards, David Sommerseth
