How are the WRITEs grouped, are they grouped together or do they seem to occur more evenly spaced? When you use "sync", how long until the next WRITE? What are the values of /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs and /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs? Are you sure you are running a kernel that supports the commit= option with reiserfs? (This option was added in 2.6.1.)
I've never tested laptop mode with reiserfs BTW, does anybody else here have experience with laptop mode and reiserfs?
