hii ppl...greetings and TGIF.. my sincere apologies.. I forgot to mention 1 major boot setting which might influence. Please check the combined_mode= and elevator=deadline options enabled in my kernel. writeback option is for better write performance but i'm sure that it doesn't affect read performance.
title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-17-server root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-17-server root=UUID=b9f4c570-8b44-413d-bcc8-300f0a0890f9 ro combined_mode=libata clocksource=acpi_pm elevator=deadline rootflags=data=writeback splash vga=795 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-17-server Please try the same. Please note that to make the changes permanent and automatically for all future kernels.. you have modify: # kopt=root=UUID=b9f4c570-8b44-413d-bcc8-300f0a0890f9 ro combined_mode=libata clocksource=acpi_pm elevator=deadline rootflags=data=writeback and run update-grub @tobiaz...anil.. thanks for helping me realize the same. -- Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131094 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
