reiser4 causes system freeze for 1-2 seconds

2007-04-03 Thread sbenni

Hello,

I have a 120Gb partition with reiser4. If I start a command like cp 500mb 
file dd within it the system frequently freezes for 1-2 seconds and ent:hda8! 
uses nearly 100% cpu. This causes the sound output from xmms to be interrupted 
and my mouse freezes also. If i renice X and xmms to -10 it is okay. 

Is this the desired behaviour ?

Can I do sth. else than renicing all time critical programs ?

My system is a debian amd64 with linux-2.6.16-mm2.


Best Regards

Benni


Convert Sector Address to File

2007-04-03 Thread Eddie Atherton
I'm currently running SpinRite to attempt to recover a drive that 
suddenly developed a bunch of problems. It's managed to recover most of 
the disc, but there a whole bunch of sectors that are reported as only 
partially recovered.


Is there any way to reverse back from the relative sector in the 
partition, back to the actual file/directory, so I can see which 
files/directories are still damaged.


Cheers.

No.

How much RAM is available in your system?
If this is much more then 512M, then boot with mem=512M, and let
us know if this freeze still takes place (to make sure this is because of
unwisely assigned atom_max_size).

Thanks,
Edward.
