That said, does it improve things when you write e.g. the following in your sysctl.conf: vm.dirty_ratio = 10 vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5 Or you could go even lower using vm.dirty_background_bytes = 134217728 vm.dirty_bytes = 268435456 (but then without setting vm.dirty_ratio and vm.dirty_background). It causes pdflush to write data more frequently and in smaller amounts, thus reducing blocking via disk i/o. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
