I did not see any kscand or equivalent taking so much CPU as described in the bug reports. When the load is high, all top users are nfsd threads. One of the reports however reminded me of the readahead discussion. I did some tests some time ago with 2.4.20-based kernel and did not see much difference, however I will try it now too and write back if I see some advantage. -- Bogdan Costescu IWR - Interdisziplinaeres Zentrum fuer Wissenschaftliches Rechnen Universitaet Heidelberg, INF 368, D-69120 Heidelberg, GERMANY Telephone: +49 6221 54 8869, Telefax: +49 6221 54 8868 E-mail: Bogdan.Costescu@IWR.Uni-Heidelberg.De ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
