Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I would like to tune pdflush so the writeback isn't too greedy, right now the system is unusable due to high disk I/O after creating a bunch of files. I know, faster disks would be better.. Tuning the writeback would also be a nice option, we had it in 2.4 with /proc/sys/vm/bdflush. Thanks, Brett
