I installed linux-image-2.6.18-1-686 version 2.6.18-3 from sid earlier today, rebooted, and tested the exact same pieces of hardware as I was using in the initial report. There does not appear to be any significant change in write throughput when the device is mounted using the 'sync' option: disk writes are at about 46 kB/sec. As before, writes are fast when the device is not mounted 'sync', and reads are fast in either case. Shall I build linux-source-2.6.18 version 2.6.18-3 and try that? Or is there something else? -- Chris Roddy croddy@emory.edu
