On the same system (where I have boot IDE disk) with XFS on IDE disk with 35GB
partition it seems to be ok.

strace shows only read and write call, nothing more. I do not know how to run
kdb while whole system freezes. No process runs (I run top -d 1 at the beginning
on the console and it freezes as well.) Kernel responds to ping request.
I remember that bdflush and some other daemon (kswapd I think) does high cpu
utilization (99%) just before it freezes.
