After upgrading my mythbackend to 2.6.10 (from 2.4.25), I noticed some serious slowdowns. - opening the recordings page got much slower - mythtranscode got suuuuuuper slow
These seemed disk related, so I researched a little and found that the 2.6 kernel's implementation of reiserfs clashes with some applicatoins. But fortunately the workaround is easy. add nolargeio=1 into the options field for each reiserfs entry in your /etc/fstab file. my 2 lines: /dev/hdc1 / reiserfs notail 1 1 /dev/myth/tv /mnt/media/myth/tv reiserfs defaults 0 0 turned into: /dev/hdc1 / reiserfs notail,nolargeio=1 1 1 /dev/myth/tv /mnt/media/myth/tv reiserfs defaults,nolargeio=1 0 0 And now it's nice and speedy, and more responsive than it used to be with kernel 2.4.25. :) In case it's relevant, I use serial ata drives with old (non-scsi) piix support compiled into the kernel, and I have a pvr-250.
