Try this:
time bash -c "dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=8k count=2000000 && sync"
time dd if=bigfile of=/dev/null bs=8k
And report the results back here. If it takes too long to complete (more
than a couple of minutes), bring up another window and run "vmstat 1" then
report the values in the columns "bi" and "bo".
