1999-03-29 Thread Kenneth Wayne Culver
Just letting someone know/confirming something: The ata drivers cvsupped 10 minutes ago have slowed my disk access to a crawl. I went from 12 MB per second to 6 MB per second. Just thought I'd let someone know because this seems to be a major problem. Thanks. Kenneth To Unsubscribe: send mail

You might try instrumenting nfs/nfs_bio.c to find where the EINTR is coming from. If it's reproducible then you should be able (with a few reboots) to track it back quite a distance. julian On Mon, 29 Mar 1999 mest...@visi.com wrote: > > Greetings, > > I am running two machines with current f
