When I do copy a file from ffs to fat32, I have speed about of 40Kbps and while copying system is basically frosen. Prosesses do respond to signals, top is running and shows that system is pretty idle, but really all processes doing disk i/o are frosen. F.e., logging from console/ssh takes ages. Doing 'ls' from existing session takes ages. System is 4.3-RC. When is was 4.2-RELEASE, it ran quite fine.
