Hello.
Hello,
I have a 120Gb partition with reiser4. If I start a command like "cp <500mb file> dd" within it the system frequently freezes for 1-2 seconds and ent:hda8! uses nearly 100% cpu. This causes the sound output from xmms to be interrupted and my mouse freezes also. If i renice X and xmms to -10 it is okay.
Is this the desired behaviour ?
No.
Can I do sth. else than renicing all time critical programs ?
My system is a debian amd64 with linux-2.6.16-mm2.
How much RAM is available in your system?
If this is much more then 512M, then boot with "mem=512M", and let
us know if this freeze still takes place (to make sure this is because of
unwisely assigned atom_max_size).
Thanks,
Edward.
Best Regards
