If this is necessary something is wrong with your system. The test is |
| 26 |
doing almost no work. It terminates almost instantly. I think you |
| 27 |
might want to look at the problems. |

So I looked into test-lfs.c and found that it tries to write to a tmp file in |
| 37 |
/tmp. |
| 38 |
So I created a ext2 partition and mounted that to /tmp. |
| 39 |
After that test-lfs runs in under a second. With /tmp on reiserfs it takes 27 |
| 40 |
sec's. |
| 41 |
So my first explanation that it is a reiserfs-low latency problem seems to be |
| 42 |
correct. |
| 43 |
I will update my kernel now to a more recent version and hope that the problem is |
| 44 |
fixed. |
| 45 |
Since Suse 7.1 ships with 2.4/reiserfs I think this problem is solved. |
