*In this case it's 10 seconds. Also, heads up: I found that 'tlp' in `/etc/default/tlp`, on ArchLinux, will overwrite the values set in `/etc/sysctl.d/*.conf` files if these are set to non `0`, ie. MAX_LOST_WORK_SECS_ON_AC=10 MAX_LOST_WORK_SECS_ON_BAT=10 will set: vm.dirty_expire_centisecs=1000 vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=1000 regardless of what values you set them in `/etc/sysctl.d/*.conf` files. /etc/default/tlp is owned by tlp 1.2.2-1 Not setting those (eg. commenting them out) will have tlp set the to its default of 15 sec (aka =1500). So the workaround is to set them to =0 which makes tlp not set them at all, thus the values from `/etc/sysctl.d/*.conf` files is allowed to remain as set. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/336652 Title: Poor system performance under I/O load To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/336652/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
