Are you using ncq?
Yes, I tried turning it off.
Did you try limiting the memory to 2G or even 1G ?
No, I haven't tried that one, though had thought about it.
Are you running 32bit or 64bit OS?
x86_64 across the board. I have thought of trying it on i686 systems,
though the only ones I have running Fedora 8 are laptops.
Did you also try noop?
No, I thought about trying that.
Maybe also try iostat.. maybe it shows you something more/important in this
case.
I have looked it it, but not in detail.
There are also some caching/flushing related vm parameters which might
affect these things..
That is what I meant by sys.vm settings, but after some reading this
morning I might have been configuring them in the wrong direction. In
this case less may be more.
