Problem the same on kernel linux- image-2.6.35-020635rc6-generic_2.6.35-020635rc6_i386.deb from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc6-maverick/.
The disk driver problem seems to be limited to the Toshiba NB305 with the Intel Atom N450 dual core processor. The disk is slow until one cpu is heavily loaded. I tried some tests on a different quad core machine and saturating one of the four cores (100% use of one cpu) makes no difference to disk performance. -- Disk driver problems on Toshiba NB305Netbook https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/601986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
