I do have DMA turned on, etc, yet - on extensive harddrive operations wait time is 90+% , which means that machine is waiting, rather than doing something meanwhile. (I guess). Can someone describe to me , in more detail why is that happening, and what steps should I consider to avoid it ? I couldn't find any answers that would have help me on net. thanks. -- Vercetti - 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/
