I complained about this a year ago, but not much has changed. :-( It gets esp bad if you copy GB size files (the writes are the problemmakers, less the reads) - no matter which io scheduler I use, though using deadline seems to lessen the impact a little bit. And I don't find it acceptable to have to play around with nice to get a responsible desktop, esp when one is using a GUI. Cheers, -- (°= =°) //\ Prakash Punnoor /\\ V_/ \_V
