What's changed recently with vmware/linuxemu/file I/O

[Josef Karthauser]

Hi,

I'm wondering what's changed recently to cause vmware2 running on
the linuxemu to lose a lot of performance with disk I/O.

A couple of weeks ago I could boot win2000 under vmware2 in a matter
of minutes;  on today's kernel it takes 5 or 10 minutes to boot,
and disk I/O is through the roof.

Could someone please hit me with a clue-bat :)
