I don't feel like to have my whole memory eaten by a single file which is not to be read again and thus it is pretty useless. Instead, I would like to see slowdown of scp so that other processes can also access disk. Why is this possible with kernel process scheduler and not with IO scheduler? -- Lukáš Hejtmánek -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
