Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right list to post to, so please direct me to the
appropriate list if this is the wrong one.
I'm having some problems on the latest 2.6.17-rc3 kernel and SCSI disk I/O.
Whenever I copy any large file (over 500GB) the load average starts to slowly
rise and after about a minute it is up to 7.5 and keeps on rising (depending
on how long the file takes to copy). When I watch top, the processes at the
top of the list are cp, pdflush, kjournald and kswapd.
Are there some processes stuck in D state? These will contribute to the
load average even if they are not using CPU.
