Hi This can be an I/O and/or CPU problem As a workaround you can use: - ionice - get/set program io scheduling class and priority for I/O problem - nice - run a program with modified scheduling priority for CPU problem
To adjust scheduling priority of the offending process. Good luck in you quest :) Best regards P.S: Provide more information (logs, dmesg, hdparm test, etc) to help us to help you Juan -- Mi nueva dirección es: - My new email address is: - Mon nouveau email est: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usuario Linux Registrado: #257202 http://www.elsotanillo.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2011/6/14 Aniruddha <[email protected]>: > I've noticed that my Debian testing desktop slows downs significantly > when copying (and unpacking) large files.
