Re: Entire system slow when using the disk
OK the problem is back in all its lagginess 
I moved from ext3 -> 4 and my fstab says
defaults,barrier=0,noatime and I'm still using the deadline scheduler but the lag is horrible ...
Still no real solution for this problem?
Edit: I'm trying out the anticipatory scheduler that was used <=2.6.18 ...
Edit2: OK seems much better I didn't realise that the old scheduler was
still an option
