Subject: [2.4.8] high load with disk operations
Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 09:53:47 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010821095347.A14337@francoudi.com> (raw)
Dear all,
I have noticed that with kernel 2.4.8 my machine gets high load average
while perfoming disk operations like copying/moving some files.
Usually, my load average is 0.00 or 0.01 :) , but when I start copying
~200 MB from one disk to another, load average goes up to 2.50.
My machine is PIII 664MHz, 128 MB RAM, 256 MB swap.
IDE devices:
hda: WDC WD100AA, ATA DISK drive
hdc: CREATIVECD-RW RW121032E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: Compaq CRD-8402B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
Partition table of /dev/hda:
[root@leonid /root]# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 1292 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 33 249448+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda2 34 574 4089960 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 * 575 1292 5428080 83 Linux
/dev/hda5 1 33 249417 82 Linux swap
Is there any patch I should try?
TIA
