Following a suggestion in the OpenSuSE forum, I executed the "free" command, just to see what was going on. The effect was dramatic and unexpected: full-speed reading and writing were restored, and so far seem not to deteriorate. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
