[Bug 1030516] Re: 152d:2338 High IO when writing to USB devices

2012-07-29 Thread Andy Smith
Is there a particular reason why you're using a block size of 512M? Have
you tried just leaving it at default?

Have you tried changing the scheduler for sdb to deadline?

echo deadline | tee /sys/block/sdb/queue/scheduler

Have you tried changing the scheduler of ALL disk devices to deadline?

I'm not 100% sure that this would not happen on pretty much all Linuxes,
as USB is pretty slow.

[Bug 1030516] Re: 152d:2338 High IO when writing to USB devices

2012-07-29 Thread Alan Pope
** Description changed:

  I am wiping a SATA disk which is attached via USB in an enclosure. I'm
  running this command:-
  
  root@deep-thought:~# dd if=/dev/zero bs=512M | pv -s 250059350016 -petr
   /dev/sdb
  
  Whilst running I note significant IO wait on all cores. This means the
  desktop becomes very slow and at times completely unresponsive.
  Applications go grey as they wait and sometimes the mouse cursor doesn't
  even move.

[Bug 1030516] Re: 152d:2338 High IO when writing to USB devices

2012-07-29 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Alan Pope, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu
better. Could you please test the latest upstream kernel? It will allow
additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please do not test the
kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once
you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-
testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon
next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and
deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. As well, please comment on
which kernel version specifically you tested.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not
boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream', and comment
as to why specifically you were unable to test it.

Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.
