I also run XFS on my home desktop and until I recently rebuilt my kernel with UDMA support, any amount of disk I/O would bring my machine to its knees.
I suggest you make sure that your kernel has UDMA support built in. a quick and dirty check might be to do (as root): /sbin/hdparm -c -d /dev/hda1 If you get something like the following output: /dev/hda1: IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) using_dma = 0 (off) then this is what your problem is. After I rebuilt my kernel with UDMA support, I get: /dev/hda1: IO_support = 1 (32-bit) using_dma = 1 (on) or some such. this is what you want :-) Jeff -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Ximian, Inc.
