Hi, I have noticed that in default SL5.5 disk operations tend to hugely tie up my pc. For example when writing large files (of the order of 10 GB) I may have to wait 30 seconds before I can get a response from another application on the desktop. Is there another i/o scheduler other than the default that I can specify presumably as a kernel command in the grub boot loader config file? I recently swapped over from debian lenny and the i/o scheduler there was much more equitable to the point where the desktop user didn't notice - it meant disk writes were slower but I can put up with that. Sorry if this has already been asked recently
Thanks. Richard
