[Bug 1264707] Re: IO limit 1.2 MB/s for 32bit ubuntu (PAE, 32 Gb RAM)

 

** Description changed:

  I recently installed a new motherboard Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 and found out that IO speed is very low; i.e.  the dd command output:
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/output bs=8k count=1000k
  ^C13885+0 records in
  13885+0 records out
  113745920 bytes (114 MB) copied, 99.6639 s, 1.1 MB/s
  
  This issue is reproducing with my new SSD (with ext4), my USB drives and
  my hard disk (with ext4) from Ubuntu i386, 13.04 and 13.10. Such a speed
  is not ok, awfully slow. When I run two or more the same dd commands
  simultaneously,  I have 1,2 Mb/s for every process.

- - Use the amd64 version
