Re: Hard disk lit-up like Christmas tree ???

Kevin,

you are not using file devices on a ReiserFS partition as database 
devices, are you? As you probably know, ReiserFS is a journaling 
filesystem, meaning every access to the fs is logged in a journal, which 
leads to a whole lot of extra i/o on your disk => not a very good idea 
for database devices (volumes). Use raw devices instead.
