Additionally, there is an interesting message in your log file : [ 12.511114] ata1.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8164B, 0B10, max UDMA/44 [ 12.511114] ata1.00: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable [ 12.526835] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33 but this should not slow down your hd because it's connected on a different channel. It doesn't hurt to unplug the dvd drive and see if it's still slow. -- Disk I/O is very slow, system freezes for seconds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268588 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
