Hi, Andrew

I got following result in 'sync' command.
It was too slow. (memory controller config is off ;)
I attaches my .config.

Well I wonder how we did that.

It seems OK here from a quick test (i386, ext3-on-IDE).

Maybe device driver/block breakage?


I confirmed This slowdown is caused by git-scsi-misc.patch.
I'm sorry that I can't chase more and will be offline in this weekend.

This is scsi_mod information in /proc/modules

What information should I provide more ?

Thanks,
