[Bug 582264] Re: lucid lynx going into disk activity frenzy, stalls for minutes

[Abdó Roig]

Same happens to me.

When there is intense disk activity (copying files, installing packages,
etc ...) the whole system becomes extremely slow and unresponsive. This
is quite annoying as it renders the system unusable while copying files
or doing an apt-get upgrade. This definitely did not happen in Karmic.

I have tested a mainline kernel build (linux-
image-2.6.32-0206321405-generic_2.6.32-0206321405_amd64.deb) and the one
from the Maverick liveCD, as suggested above. In both cases things went
smooth, without stalls. I started to copy a large directory, and
simultaneously I could open firefox and navigate without any noticeable
lag. The problem seems to be in the ubuntu lucid kernel then ...
