Will it work for natty too? I'd love to get that fixed as soon as possible, but I am not brave enough to use oneric just yet :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492841 Title: open()ing

Yes, I have a bzr branch and ppa build that I only got a few people to test during Natty but got positive feedback. I will try to get it uploaded to Oneric soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.n

I have been experimenting with patches to correct this problem. I have split the readahead into two passes where the first pass calls readahead() to load directory blocks so that the open() calls do not block waiting for them, then the second pass reads the normal files as now. I have also been r

Hi Tormod, If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstr

Tormod: the problem there is that the "needed pieces" are rarely only at the start of the disk - it's probably better to spend the effort on a defragmenter so that they are! rafal: ureadahead tries to utilise the disk as much as it can - the fact it can't reach 100% is because the time is lost see

I have the same issue. As you can see on my bootchart it's exacly the same. By the way (I don't think it's a bug in ureadahead), may I ask why does ureadahead takes only 50% of 'disk utilisation'? Would it be any faster if it would use it 100%? ** Attachment added: "bootchart.png" http://launc

Yes, for instance when resuming from hibernation it slurps in at ~40MB/s. I guess rearranging things on disk like MacOSX (and windows?) does is a bit too complicated. Why is everything else blocked while ureadahead is reading? I would think some tasks can find their needed pieces in the cache mean

For the third part, the throughput is about as high as your disk is capable of given the spread of files. The reason it's not max'd out is that we have to seek over bits of the disk we don't want/need in the page cache. We use the I/O elevator as efficiently as we can to merge reads, but at the e
