Christopher M. Penalver: are you going to tell all the 165 people that are affected by this bug to open a new bug report for the same issue which is not even hardware related?
If you just took a minute you could test this bug yourself instead of require us to do all that work to test the latest mainline kernel. I think you are just mass closing linux kernel related bugs that are still valid and affect many people. Some of them have upstream bug reports which indicate that no actual work has been done to address those issues. So why do testing? Even if someone does the testing most likely no work will be done by downstream to fix the issue. So what's the point? I think doing what you're doing is just making more harm than good. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131094 Title: Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness Status in The Linux Kernel: Fix Released Status in The Linux Mint Distribution: New Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22 When compared with 2.6.15 in feisty, heavy disk I/O causes increased iowait times and affects desktop responsiveness in 2.6.22 this appears to be a regression from 2.6.15 where iowait is much lower and desktop responsiveness is unaffected with the same I/O load Easy to reproduce with tracker - index the same set of files with 2.6.15 kernel and 2.6.22 kernel and the difference in desktop responsiveness is massive I have not confirmed if a non-tracker process which does heavy disk i/o (especially writing) replicates this yet - will do further investigation soon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/131094/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
