It seems that way, yes. I do not know how common the holdoffs are in real

I think there was a report on linux-audio-user where switch from reiser to
ext[23] fixed someones latency problems.

resierfs: yes, it's a problem. I
"fixed" it multiple times in 2.4, but the
fixes ended up breaking the fs in subtle ways and I eventually gave up.
andrew, this is really helpful. should we conclude that until some
announcement from reiser that they have addressed this, the reiserfs
should be avoided on low latency systems?
