Sorry about the late response.  I failed to reproduce the problem with
above instructions. I am running 2.6.16-rc2-mm1 kernel, played dbench
32 ,64 and 128, and tried both 8 cpu and 1 cpu, still no luck at last. I
am using e2fsck version 1.35 though. What versions you are using?


Thanks!

Mingming
