I've attached Holger's testcase (ext2, SMP, raid5)
boot with "mem=64M" and run the attached script.
The script creates and deletes 9 directories with 10.000 in each dir.
Neil, could you run it? I don't have an raid 5 array - SMP+ext2 without
raid5 is ok.

Holger, what's your ext2 block size, and do you run with a degraded
array?
