stalled 'sync' on ext3+quota over drbd

More representative statistics for my "quota on ext3" trouble:

after moving about 10,000 files and setting quota for a million
groupids, and then several hours of inactivity(!) I zeroed profile
counters (readprofile -r), ran `time sync' and then `readprofile'.  Here
are the results.  Yes, that's true, it took 3 (three) hours for `sync'
to complete!
