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.

Ideas?
