    Hi,

     "find " runs far too slow on my reiserfs file system, on the file
    system I have only 3.4 Million small files under 2500 directories. An
    ext3 file system with the same contents tooks about 5 minutes for the
    command "find /demoFileSystem -type f " to finish, while the same
    command took forever on a reiserfs file system.

     It is against our general ideas of reiserfs file system.. I don't know
    what's going on.

     The reiserfs file system is created with default parameters.
    "mkreiserfs -label demoFS /dev/hdd1 ", the entry in fstab is:
    "/dev/hdc1 /demoFS reiserfs defaults,nosuid
    1 2", everything seems normal. When the machines reboots, it mounts
    reiserfs with no problems.

     My base Linux system is FC1, my kernel is a vanilla 2.4.26 kernel, with
    reiserfs built as a module.

     Any ideas?

     Thanks a lot.
