But some kind of massive slowdown has hit my new server. That's what caused my faulty call on the ext3 journal parameter change. I don't know what happened. Nothing in the logs or dmesg that I can see. The system now is very slow creating file systems and becomes unresponsive while bonnie++ is writing. Guess I'll remove all the extraneous LVs and start again.
