What I/O scheduler are you using? Did you try to experiment with the deadline or the cfq I/O schedulers? If you have them enabled in your kernel config, read Documentation/block/switching-sched.txt and see if things get better after changing the I/O scheduler for your hard disk. Of course, your problem might be caused by something else altogether. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
