PCIE, and it might simply be having issues. :/ One thing I haven't looked into is how exactly the kernel maps IO requests to queue slots -- does each CPU get its own pile of slots to use up? I _think_ it does, but it's been a few months since I poked at mq. Hmm... max_sectors_kb=128, which isn't unusually odd. Guess I'll keep digging. The other disks seems fairly normal, at least. --D > > - Ted > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
