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 than VMware? Or does it only surface when running VMware....? I'm not an expert, but I expect the vmmon module hooks in fairly deep into the kernel. I suppose it's possible that if VMware haven't done much testing against recent kernels, their module(s) may be the cause of these slowdowns. So far I haven't really noticed any problems running Feisty and non- VMware loads, but it's possible I'm just not exposing it to a high enough thread workload. -- kernel 2.6.20 disk write performance much slower than 2.6.17 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113532 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
