Re: system freezes when writing to encrypted partition

I'm experiencing similar problems with luks on an dual athlon mp box. When copying a large file it will lock for 10sec or so and then continue fine.

Hi,

I've just setup dm-crypt and I'm finding that my system freezes for
1-2 seconds every 10 seconds or so, when writing out to an encrypted
partition. The mouse pointer stops moving and I can't type anything. I
found a thread about this from November last year:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.device-mapper.dm-crypt/1940

The solution in that thread (to renice kjournald) doesn't seem to work for me.

I'm seeing this on an old P3 and a new dual-core laptop, both about as
bad as eachother. Both are Debian; I've tried the standard Debian
kernel (2.6.18) and vanilla 2.6.20.

I can't find many other complaints about this - is it normal behaviour?

Many thanks.
