I experience the same problem.
Duron 700MHz, Maxtor 40GB HDD UDMA100. VIA KT133 chipset

Another problem which i saw: If i do a large copy (copying a
CD image) and do a sync in the same time the copying goes 
slower but the sync doesn't usually return until the copying 
has finished. If the copying last for 20 minutes  the sync will 
also last for 20 minutes which is not nice. Both processes are
in D state (cp and sync).Looks like both sync and cp starv 
each other.

I don't know how to debug this problem.
