* didier gaumet <[email protected]> | I am not knowledgeable about data acquisition but you don't mention | it: would not a real-time kernel be more appropriate for the task than | a standard one? | see linux-image-rt-amd64 package.
I installed the rt-kernel, but that made no difference at all. As I understand it, I would need to recompile my programs to actually request the realtime features - which I did not do. Also note that the data aquisition itself is not the problem - I can see the files on disk grow as expected as the data arrive with 2.8MB/s. Plus, that data rate should be no problem at all for the SSD. It is the delayed start of one or two of the subprocesses which ruins the overall performance. On my desktop, all subprocesses are started immediately and reliably 100% (same Debian kernel, same binaries of my programs). Thanks anyway for all responses! R'
