After some days testing several configs to see which one could achieve a better result towards sync_supers' anger, I think I've found a good workaround. I'm testing it since 2011-04-28 and so far it's working pretty well:
vm.dirty_ratio=60 vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=15000 Please check also if the value below is already a default: vm.dirty_background_ratio=5 This is a good setup for a desktop, but it might be a painful one for a busy server. If you want to test or even make your changes permanent, please read my comment (#46) above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607560 Title: jbd2 writing block every 5 - 10 seconds, preventing disk spin-down and making noise -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
