Subject: linux-2.6.23 - acting funny
Hi :)
I have two harddisks with encfs on top of reiserfs between which I could copy
data at ~22MB/s before the upgrade from 2.6.22 to 2.6.23.
After the upgrade the transfer rate stuck at ~14MB/s and changing nice values
did not help anything.
And now the funny part:
I noticed the transfer rate go up to ~20MB/s when I startet compiling stuff.
I just need to run a CPU hog like:
while true; do echo test > /dev/null; done
and the transfer rate jumps from ~14MB/s to ~20MB/s.
top shows the two encfs processes with ~30%(read) and 50%(write) CPU usage no
matter if I run the CPU hog or not.
Could this eventually be due to the new scheduler? Do I need to tune anything?
System: E6600, 4GB RAM, Slackware 12, config attached.
Do you need anything else?
