Re: kjournald CPU usage

[axolx@speakeasy.net]

thanks for you help. i tracked down the problem to very poor
configuration of my hard drive. hdparm revealed buffered disk read speed
of 2.5 MB/ sec. Tuning the drive using hdparm, I got the speed up
to 27 MB / sec. Now the same tar task runs much faster and kjournald
uses very little cpu time.
