Hi Psy[H[], This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If it remains an issue,

Hello everybody, 'Made some tests. This makes the ext4 magic flow: * Boot an ext4 system. Mount an ext3 partition as ext4 and perform a heavy task in that partition. * Boot an ext4 system. Mount an ext4 partition... everything's fine, of course. And this does not work: * Boot an ext4 syste

As a matter of fact, back in the time when I was using a single-core Intel P4 CPU, I also tried out different partition formats, like ReiserFS, XFS, JFS... and never got a significant enhancement regarding the here-debated problem (though they are real nice file systems) (just they lack the wonderf

I tried booting 2 times, once with maxcpus=1 option, so with isolcpus=1. In both cases, the kernel used only 1 core, and I had no problem playing an mp3 with VLC, although i launched in background 4 dd task and system load was more than 6. I have only ext3 filesystems, anyway there was no notice

Now when this situation is linked to filesystems, I have to add: I use reiserfs for '/' and ext3 for '/home'. And also these partitions are on two separate HDDs. When I started copying large group of files inside / partition, gmrun took 9 seconds to start, so reiserfs is also affected. -- [jaun

Hello everybody, A simple experiment: start my ext3 Jaunty install yet forcing the use of only one processor core, by having added maxcpus=1 in the kernel parameters list inside /boot/grub/menu.lst The result is just as bad as usual. Not as bad as when forcing the tar command and Firefox to use t

Very interesting! I immediately tried that out on my Jaunty install based on an ext3 partition. The standard test procedure I use is to first launch this to load the system: tar cf 1.tar /usr Then I launch and quit Firefox several times, open its menus, wait some time before reattempts... while

Same problem on a HP Pavilion dv6415eb (Intel based) using Ubuntu 9.04. After many research, kernel compiles and querying the advice of Vincent Minder I found what seems the base of the problem. Any Linux install (Ubuntu, Slackware, Fedora) that uses ext4 is perfectly fluent. Any install based on e

I notice the problem was related to multiple factor including the metacity compositing, the bad video driver, some flaw in xorg, etc. I manage to fix most of the performance issue by a regression to metacity 2.24 (from hardy) and using the Karmic kernel. Sine I upgrade to Karmic now, this problem
