Hello,

I have a 120Gb partition with reiser4. If I start a command like "cp <500mb file> dd" within it the system frequently freezes for 1-2 seconds and ent:hda8! uses nearly 100% cpu. This causes the sound output from xmms to be interrupted and my mouse freezes also. If i renice X and xmms to -10 it is okay. 

Is this the desired behaviour ?

Can I do sth. else than renicing all time critical programs ?

My system is a debian amd64 with linux-2.6.16-mm2.


Best Regards

Benni
