+ <youpi> braunr: what is the status of the thread storm issue? do you have
+ pending code changes for this?
+ <youpi> I was wondering whether to make ext2fs use adaptative locks,
+ i.e. spin a bit and then block
+ <youpi> I don't remember whether anybody already did something like that
+ <braunr> youpi: no i don't
+ <braunr> youpi: i attempted switch from spin locks to mutexes once but it
+ doesn't solve the problem
+ <braunr> switching*
+ <gg0> found another storm maker:
+ <gg0> $ dpkg-reconfigure gnome-accessibility-themes
+ <gg0> aka update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/HighContrast
+ <youpi> braunr: ok
