After installing FC4 onto a blank ext3 partition, I've noticed that
kjournald seems a lot more aggressive than it used to be on my FC3
machine. Whenever I install an RPM, compile something, or decompress an
archive, my machine becomes jerky and unresponsive. Running top shows that
kjournald is using ~50% of available CPU at these times. My previous
install used the exact same hardware, partition layout and format, and
filesystem mount options, and did not experience this problem.
/etc/fstab shows that the partition is mounted using the default mount
options. I don't know what arguments, if any, are being used for kjournald
as I don't know where to look.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Where could I look for more
information? Is there any way to avoid it?
thanks in advance for any help.
Dan
