I have two samfs filesystems (samfs1 and samfs2), both on the same 6130, both with the same config/watermarks/timeouts etc. creating a file on samfs2 works as it should, on samfs1 not. A little simple script shows up, that every while and then the file creation needs between 11 and 28 seconds:

stan 12:32 [scratch]# while ( 1 ) while? echo - while? time echo test > file while? time mv file file2 while? echo + while? sleep 1

while? end

Any idea where the problem could be?
