[Bug 131094] Re: Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness

[KhaaL]

@Hendrik Try to post your information there as it will catch more
attention of those working with this bug. AFAIK this bug came somewhere
around 2.6.16 or 2.6.17, when a new I/O scheduler was introduced (i
belive). I've tried with differend schedulers (AS, CFQ and deadline) and
they didn't improve anything. right now I mount my partitions with
noatime and writeback in order to minimize I/O operations. I'd like to
participate in your testing but you'll have to tell me what NCQ is and
how i can set its values :-)

@Thomas i think you're right, but i can't confirm since all my
connectors are SATA. most of the people who have reported this problem
are those with sata though.

Thank you both for your engagement in this bug.
