[squid-users] High load on squid machine after switching from reiserfs to ext3

We are running Zope behind Squid 2.4Stable6 with squid in acceleration mode.
The squid box (dual Pentium III 1 GHz, RH 7.2, Linux 2.4.9-21smp, 2GB Ram)
has during busy hours a normal load of 0.2-0.3 . From time to time
we see spikes over some hours where the load average of the machine
is higher than 1.5 although there are no spikes in the CPU
utilization. Also there is no increase in the number of incoming requests.

The only change we made was the switch from reiserfs to ext3 for the cache
partition since reiserfs corrupted its partition some time ago.

Any insights on this issue?

Thanks,
Andreas
