Hi People,
openSuSE 10.2, never had a problem with filesystem but suddenly it seems it has become "bad" as it takes something like 10 or more seconds to open a file, especially the biggest ones, and in the meanwhile it doesn't allow to do anything else but wait. I've already run fsck (ext3) to check it but no error is shown and yet I still have big troubles working with big files (>100MB).
In addition, during the wait, the hard disk sounds like it is doing such a big work that it's so busy it can't even move my mouse. Quite strange.
Could it even be an hardware (hard disk) problem?
How are you working with the files? Is this for all files or just some you open in a particular program? Perhaps this program wants to read in the entire file, which is why it takes so long? Regarding the slow speed and problems doing anything else: are these IDE hard drives? Did you check with hdparm to make sure DMA is enabled on the drives? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
