Subject: Is it normal for freezing while...
Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2001 23:22:28 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C085B04.50ABE0B5@starband.net> (raw)

Is it normal for a system to lockup while creating a 3GB test file?

Following command: dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1M count=3000

The system freezes up for 30-60 seconds for as many as 3-4 times during
the creation of the file.

Is this normal?
Anyway to tweak the /proc settings to avoid system freezing?
