Hi Basil,

Just read the posts on your problem and while I don't have an answer I thought you might like to know my 7.3 with reiserfs is also accessing every 5 seconds which it wasn't doing with such regularity with ext2. But I think I can live with it here for the extra speed I get from reiser, although it would be nice to know why.

I run reiserfs on 7.2 and get no such 5 sec disk access. When idle, it runs as quite as can be. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
