HPFS386 cache problem?

Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Guys,

A very strange issue here, that I think I finally tracked down, but I just don't
understand it.

I have a MCP2 FP6 system, SMP, using HPFS386. I've got 8 HPFS partitions on 2 
separate disks, all either 60 or 64Gig in size, cache is set to 128Mbyte, only 
enabled for the 4 'primary' partitions, since the remaining 4 (2nd physical 
disk) are nightly hot-backups. Both disks are SATA drives.

The HPFS386 specific stuff is as follows:

53.47
3-23-04  10:17a    259689           0  hpfs386.ifs

53.43
9-30-03   6:11p     27237         405  CACHE386.EXE
9-30-03   6:11p      6845         404  HPFS386.DLL
9-30-03   6:11p    348965         403  NETAPI.DLL
9-30-03   6:11p     63766         417  NETAPI32.DLL
9-30-03   6:11p      6586         405  NETSPOOL.DLL

...so basically IP_8532 level for most of it with the exception of HPFS386.IFS 
being IP08608.

OK, so here is the problem, the last partition on each disk exhibits what I can 
only call a 55 sec delay in saving a file.

So...as I open up one of my camera pics in PMView, re-size it, etc and attemp to
save to my last partition on a drive, the clock icon comes up...and sits there 
for EXACTLY 55 secs...then if completes the save and PMView becomes responsive. 
I tested this operation across all my partitions which is how I narrowed it down
to the problem being each last partition on the physical disk.

I had this same issue with Tame just last week...I moved the 'working directory'
to another spot, which of course worked out fine. But it didnt' dawn on me until
tonight when I was attempting to troubleshoot my PMView issue that it really was
one and the same thing. Tame would actually just HANG there while it attempted 
to save the file once scanimage completed.

So...the question is: have any of you guys seen this? Is this related to a known
(maybe?) HPFS386 bug?

Thanks as always!
