fscks seem to take ages on 2.3.99-pre6. Harddisks activity-led blinks only
now and then.. Under 2.2.15pre17 fscks run at the "normal" speed
(ie. couple of minutes max, under 2.3.99-pre6 it takes hours to
complete..)
This happens at the boot-time.
I tried 'hdparm -tT /dev/hda' also under both of these kernels:
2.2.15pre17:
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.25 seconds =102.40 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 2.88 seconds = 22.22 MB/sec
2.3.99-pre6:
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.27 seconds =100.79 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 15.76 seconds = 4.06 MB/sec
Any ideas?
I have PIII 450Mhz on Abit BF6 (BX-chipset).
the harddisk is: hda: IBM-DPTA-372730, ATA DISK drive
Kernels are compiled with gcc 2.7.2.3.
If you need any additional information, I can provide it.
Thanks for your help!
