Dave, what filesystem are you using? Jiri's patch on this thread was
to fix a problem in ext4, which means that's fixing a problem which is
unrelated to the slow mkfs.ext2 problem (which is writing to a block
device, not a file in a ext4 filesystem), and so it's likely unrelated
to your problem (unless you're using ext4 and didn't tell us :-).

Andrew's probably right that it may be related to the slow mkfs
problem. Can you confirm that you are seeing this on 2.6.26-rc2-mm1,
but not on stock 2.6.26.rc2?

- Ted
