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

 

Thanks for analysing each and every sentence of mine one by one.
Who says only the original reporter can comment on bugs? I'm not the original reporter, I'm just somebody who is affected by this bug which you are trying to close in a very crafty way. It's not a speculation that you're doing this all the time, you did this to 2 or 3 of my own bugs. I'm getting tired of you pasting the same text everywhere. Maybe you're pasting it to hundreds of bugs. There is no effort in pasting some text. However you are asking people to do a lot of work which takes huge effort. Most of the time it's completely unnecessary cause no one has made anything to fix the issue.

"Hey! No developer has ever touched this bug but let's ask the poor user
who is suffering from it a ton of questions and half day of working and
testing the latest mainline kernel maybe he won't be able to do it or
just simply has no idea how to do it so we can close this completely
valid bug! And let's just ignore the bug even if the poor user does all
that work ha ha ha..... Oh yeah and make sure to paste lots of links
about etiquette and what not so I will look official even though I'm not
working for Canonical I'm just messing around with people's bugs."

Title:
  Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in The Linux Mint Distribution:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

  When compared with 2.6.15 in feisty, heavy disk I/O causes increased
  iowait times and affects desktop responsiveness in 2.6.22

  this appears to be a regression from 2.6.15 where iowait is much lower
  and desktop responsiveness is unaffected with the same I/O load

  Easy to reproduce with tracker - index the same set of files with
  2.6.15 kernel and 2.6.22 kernel and the difference in desktop
  responsiveness is massive

  I have not confirmed if a non-tracker process which does heavy disk
  i/o (especially writing) replicates this yet - will do further
  investigation soon
