Try turning off atime in the mount options for all your ext2 partitions (you are not runnign ext3 or other journalling fs's are you?) HOWEVER: I think if you are running kernel 2.4, there might be a rather serious flaw with noflushd. See for details: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=174521 I wouldn't mind knowing whether there are any people out there who are *not* experiencing this problem (ie, you must be running applications that use pthreads), so I can understand what might be wrong? -- TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * It's: "SPLAT - MY CAT!" -//-//-_ +>\ --__ Slower than a speeding DATSUN 180B.
