Ext3 & InterMezzo issue
Hi Stephen, We had some starvation/locks happening to us under very heavy load in two cases: - InterMezzo asked ext3 to do a journaled file write (for 1 block) essentially using ext3_write - similarly for truncate. These lockups went away when we started the transaction in InterMezzo and reserved somewhat more space than ext3 does. Any clues as to what this might be? Are the ext3 reservations big enough? This workaround is stable for us, but it shouldn't be necessary for us...
