Hi all! I often used to burn CDs and DVDs on my Mandriva Cooker system without any problems. I used the combination of the command line tools "mkisofs" and "growisofs" to burn a DVD.
Today I noticed that when running growisofs to burn a DVD, the system became much less responsive: moving windows was less smooth, the "about-to-start" bumping icons in the X cursor were slower, and the system felt more sluggish etc. Top displayed growisofs taking about 5% of the CPU. I tried it again on a different .iso file and got the same result. (With a brand new X). My system specs are as follows: * Mandriva Cooker. * Pentium 4 2.4GHz. * Nvidia GeForce 4 MX card. * The Nouveau drivers. ( http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ ) * My fstab is: <<<<<<<<< # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/sda1 / xfs defaults 1 1 /dev/sda2 /home xfs defaults 1 2 /dev/sda5 /mnt/Test-fedora ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sda6 /mnt/archlinux ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0 /dev/hdb3 /mnt/kubuntu xfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/old-mandriva xfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat umask=022,uid=smb,gid=smb,iocharset=iso8859-8,codepage=862 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat umask=022,uid=smb,gid=smb,iocharset=iso8859-8,codepage=862 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 >>>>>>>>> /dev/hda and /dev/hdb are IDE/PATA drives, while /dev/sda is a SATA disk. /dev/hdc is an IDE DVD+RW writer. /dev/dvd is an unused CD-ROM Reader/Writer and DVD reader. * I'm using KDE-3.5.8. ----------------- It only started happening recently. Is this a known problem? Does anyone have any solution?
