Er, I'm sorry, I'm not understanding something here. I thought you just
said that this is _not_ a problem when doing this in parallel with dd.

If both bonnie++ and writing with dd give you the same problems, I would
suspect that the cache is too small (and thrashing). I'm not saying it's
not a bug if so, but could you just try this with a 10G disk cache and
see if it still happens?
