I can confirm this bug. I use LUKS with ext3 on Kubuntu Feisty. When I have moderate disk activity the system is almost unusable. I think this is a scheduling problem. Although extra computations are needed when using encrypted filesystems, these extra computations should not have such a high priority that it should be impossible to use the computer for audio, video, moving the mouse around, etc.
I have a 1.8GHz Pentium M processor. That should be enough to handle the extra computations needed for the encryption while decoding ogg audio or playing video. -- Write load on DM-Crypt LUKS partition with reiserfs jams system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/82528 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
