Ok, then it is Nick's turn, I guess. :-) Yeah most probably the iso is cached, as it was not the first time I burnt the iso when I did the vmstat, furthermore I have 1 GB of RAM... The other thing which doesn't speack for i/o problems, I guess: Just the first seconds when I start erasing the CD-RW the mouse hangs and heavily stutters, then it is OK until actual burning of image begins, then the mouse slightly stutters. All this was not with test9-mm1. - 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/
