I am running the 2.2.14 linux kernel, and doing buffered writes to disk. Whenever kupdate runs, I notice that the I/Os freeze up, sometimes taking 10-20 seconds to complete. Are there any patches to the kernel to prevent thsi kind of behaviour ? I am using the standard bdflush parameters. Is this problem ameliorated in the 2.4 kernel ? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Since I am not a member of this list, could you please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?
