The rest of the >file system is ext4 You unlikely are missing a /tmp directory, it's most likely just not set up for RAM disk usage and instead on the SSD, which is the default for Ubuntu flavours. Take a look at the output of ls -d /tmp; df -h | grep tmp Even if the SSD should be connected to a slow SATA port, it would be fast enough for using /tmp without set up for RAM disk usage, so we don't need to check this with smartctl. >> In the end, you might want to install a kernel with realtime >> preemtion.

Is that a problem? It depends. Most likely it isn't the culprit. All that too long to read output doesn't really help. Yes, it's good that there is the ability to use chrt to prioritize processes, but is it done? Most of us are likely using Rui's rtirq script, which on Ubuntu flavours not necessarily fits to the installed kernel. What's the output of /etc/rc.d/rtirq status Consider to run jack and to post the output of jack. If the output of cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor should be "powersave", then run echo performance | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor for testing purpose. Don't troubleshoot by running too many command, start with simply testing by using different USB ports. BIOS settings might be important, too, but IMO you first should follow my hints, before digging deeper. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
