Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mountall
Before 10.04, Ubuntu fsck'ed every partition serially. In 10.04, multiple partitions on one drive are fscked in parallel. The change was made in: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/491389 I have three ext4 partitions on a 640GB drive, which I fsck on every boot. This used to take ~1 minute, because ext4 fsck is very fast. In 10.04, it takes about 10 minutes. I don't think the "set their priorities so that thrashing is avoided" solution mentioned in the above bug is adequate (if it's working at all). Please disable the parallelism for multiple partitions, or make it obvious how to do so. ** Affects: mountall (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Parallel fsck is very slow with multiple partitions on one drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/619012 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
