It actually got worse: Though the read rate seems accepteble, it is not, as interactivity is dead while writing.


Is this a parallel IDE system? SATA? SCSI? If the latter, what driver
and what is the TCQ depth?

Hmm yes, this is a RAID0 configuration, so the regression of time slieced CFQ might me related to it, but the problem of unresponsiveness while writing as such was on my single disk, as well. Here one HD is SATA (libata silicon image) and one on IDE controller (nforce2). No TCQ. BTW, I haven't checked the problem on my ide disk only on SATA. Wil try to free some space and do so...
