I also tested with the following kernel parameters: - acpi=off gives me 18Mb/s; it is better than 1 Mb/s but still bad - pci=noacpi has no effect, 1 Mb/s.
** Description changed: I recently installed a new motherboard Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 and found out that IO speed is very low; i.e. the dd command output: dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/output bs=8k count=1000k ^C13885+0 records in 13885+0 records out 113745920 bytes (114 MB) copied, 99.6639 s, 1.1 MB/s This issue is reproducing with my new SSD (with ext4), my USB drives and my hard disk (with ext4) from Ubuntu i386, 13.04 and 13.10. Such a speed is not ok, awfully slow. When I run two or more the same dd commands simultaneously, I have 1,2 Mb/s for every process. - WORKAROUND: Use the amd64 version. + WORKAROUNDs: + - turn off ACPI services, see more at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1264707/comments/18 + - Use the amd64 version ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: linux-image-3.11.0-12-generic 3.11.0-12.19 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-12.19-generic 3.11.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-12-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC2: ubuntu 4507 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: ubuntu 4507 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: ubuntu 4507 F.... pulseaudio CasperVersion: 1.336ubuntu1 Date: Sat Dec 28 15:56:33 2013 IwConfig: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.
