After verifying the new mirror I have tried to delete the whole old mirror (all releases fro, Bo to Sid, "archive" ). It took over (!!!) 40 minutes to remove 3.6 TByte of Debian packages. And this in a ext3. I have seen the same effect on my FileServer with PATA disks. Using an old 2.4.18 (from Woody) is MUCH faster. It seems, that under Woody/2.4.18 it deletes only the entry in the superblock but not it delete each file itself.
