Hi, everyone,
write access to hd partitions has become very slow with KNOPPIX V3.8.1. The writing speed (measured with files > 2 x main memory and "dd" or "bonnie") is generally less than 15% compared to KNOPPIX V3.7 (with either 2.6 or 2.4 kernel) independent on fs (ext3, xfs, reiserfs). This I've measured on three systems so far. It is a sad case, since I liked to use KNOPPIX for repartitioning and full backup exercises especially in multi-disk systems.
BTW this problem does not appear on hd installations of KNOPPIX V3.8.1 .
Anyone any idea what could be the reason for this change to the worse with this version?
