(mq should be disabled) and it appears to still be causing issues. current io scheduler appears to be cfq, and it took that "make clean" about 4 minutes, a lot of that time was spent with plasma, intelij, and chrome all starved of IO. I did switch to a terminal and checked iostat -d 1, and it showed very little actual io for the time I was looking at it. I have no idea what's going on. -- Thomas Fjellstrom thomas@fjellstrom.ca
