Update- So I never really got to the bottom of why this is happening on the 32-bit pae 3.7 kernel... I decided to install 64-bit ubuntu raring (13.04), and guess what, it works flawlessly.
So apparently 32-bit kernels on new hardware is a bad idea, which I should have known I suppose, but it's too bad because there are a few third party applications that I am having a hard time with now because they don't properly support 64-bit linux. I am happy to report that ubuntu raring 64-bit runs exceptionally good on my Toshiba L840 right out of the box, even with the stock kernel. No hard drive performance issues, and no suspend lock-ups either ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090715 Title: slow and sporadic hard drive write performance on ivy bridge (Toshiba L840 Core i7-3612QM) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1090715/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
