Ctrl-Z to cp 5. ps axlef waits 3-10 secs before answer as raid1 sync goes with 14kB/sec previous problem was without raid sync, currently just it takes time to test without it NB! the same copy from the same softraid partition to the same softraid partition sucks a bit, but load does not grow steadily, remains 3changing raid1sync speed affects a bit the whole thing, but does not end it. the same copy within serverraid partition is ok. Currently I havent managed to get softdog into action, but behaviour is still bad enough to call it a BUG. > On Wed, 2003-09-10 at 10:52, elmer@linking.ee wrote: >> cp -dpR lotsfiles2GB /testcopy >> >> SMP x335 UP x335 >> serverraid-serverraid OK OK >> softraid-softraid OK OK >> softraid-serverraid OK OK >> serverraid5E-softraid SLEEPY X >> serverraid1E-softraid X PROBLEM >> >> it is redhat AS 2.4.9-25 kernel, SMP kernel for both. > > that kernel is very old and heavily patched; lkml is not the place to > report problems, your Red Hat support contact is... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
