[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1290337] Re: I/O slow down on 32-bit PAE systems
A bisect was performed in bug 1107150, but the bad commit was never identified. After testing the mainline kernel, we can also perform a bisect and may have better luck identifying the cause of this regression. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290337 Title: I/O slow down on 32-bit PAE systems Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Symptoms are that as time goes by I/O gets slower and slower (primarily if not even only writes rather than reads).

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.14 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as Confirmed. Thanks in advance.
