Upgrade to Gutsy if you can, and consider Hardy once it's stable... Hardy+1 may even be the best release we'll have seen in a while, since Linus has given kernel 2.6.25 a coveted weasel series name: http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/2.6.25-rc2_A_Winner Unfortunately I doubt we'll see 2.6.25 in Hardy.

Some colleagues of mine reported that disk io performance of Ubuntu 7.10 (ie, kernel 2.6.22) was much nearer that of 6.10. Basically, Ubuntu 7.04, or more accurately, kernel 2.6.20, was a bit of a lemon. -- kernel 2.6.20 disk write performance much slower than 2.6.17

Hello Guys, Does anybody thinking about solving a problem ? I would like to migrate from 6.10 to 7.10 and i can't because of using as VMware Server guest my corporate win xp. Any answer will be better than no answer... :) h. -- kernel 2.6.20 disk write performance much slower than 2.6.17

It seems that the problem may be related to the fact that the IDE drives are now handled by the SATA drivers and thus in some cases hdparm can't set options correctly on some drives. As i said i have 2 IDE drives in my computer one issue slow down the other not so feel free to ask me any output

I have similar problems with 2.6.20-16 kernel. I have 2 IDE drives one issues slowdown the other not. It really sound like a kernel issue because i never observed slowdown before on this drive. -- kernel 2.6.20 disk write performance much slower than 2.6.17

Same here. I was running Ubuntu 6.10, and everything worked fine. Then, after upgrading to 7.10, VMware began to run slow due to excessive hard disk activity. I recorded some statistical data with dstat when starting up a virtual machine and I get about 50% of cpu wait on computer. See

Thanks for the information and graphs Stephan. I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing these problems. There's also a thread on VMware's forums about this: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=83459 So is this purely a kernel issue, that should be apparent when running loads other

This bug does not appear to be Ubuntu-specific. I set up the same test rig with Debian 4.0, running kernel 2.6.18, and the performance was acceptable. When I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.20, performance suffered in a similar way as with the Ubuntu 7.04 setup. Disk write performance under 2.6.20 may
