Hi, there is a discussion going on, which might be related to this bug report: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg69679.html

It does not explain why Winfried experiences a reduction of performance when switching from Debian 6 to 7. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
