When burning a cd image (about 500Mb), with cdrecord -v to see some info, after about 150Mb the percentage of fifo filled begins to drop, until the burning fails. I though it was related to some buffer/cache issue, but then I just copied the image to an ext2 partition (so the cache still filled more, just reaching my ram size), and burnt perfect from the ext2 partition. So it looks like ext3 can not give a sustained read rate (not so much, burning was at 8x). Fifo from ext2 never dropped below 99%. Is this a bug or the answer is just 'never toast from a journaled fs' ?
