Hi :) I have two harddisks with encfs on top of reiserfs between which I could copy data at ~22MB/s before the upgrade from 2.6.22 to 2.6.23. After the upgrade the transfer rate stuck at ~14MB/s and changing nice values did not help anything.
And now the funny part: I noticed the transfer rate go up to ~20MB/s when I startet compiling stuff. I just need to run a CPU hog like: while true; do echo test > /dev/null; done and the transfer rate jumps from ~14MB/s to ~20MB/s. top shows the two encfs processes with ~30%(read) and 50%(write) CPU usage no matter if I run the CPU hog or not. Could this eventually be due to the new scheduler? Do I need to tune anything? System: E6600, 4GB RAM, Slackware 12, config attached. Do you need anything else? PS: please CC me, I'm not subscribed
