Hi,<br> My kernel is Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 Thu Jun<br>2 22:55:56 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux.<br><br>I have been running it for a long time . My file system is ext3.<br>Whenver i compile a program or untar a file like gcc , all the songs
<br>that i am playing stops for around 2 secs . Even bash doesn't respond<br>for 2 secs. I have 3 Ghz Cpu and 1 GB of RAM and my harddisk is pretty<br>fast.<br><br>Throughout the 2 secs i can see the harddisk light green. It is
<br>accessing the harddisk. I tried hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc. I don't know why<br>but in windows i don't have that problem . I think earlier (about a<br>year ago )i had debian , i never had this problem. Can you help.<br><br></blockquote>
</div><br>Keep the console open with <br># top -d .1 <br>running, choose appropriate fast speed to update (default of top not good for 2 sec)<br>Also use of nice command may help.<br><br>-- <br>Anil Kumar Shrama
