Package: reportbug Version: 7.10.3+deb11u1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: jeffredbea...@gmail.com
1) I prepared a USB flash drive with the newest net installation image (dd if=/image.iso of=/dev/drive) 2) I restarted the physical (non-virtualized) computer and installed the system. I noticed, I have not proof but I think, it took way longer than it should have even from a USB 2.0 interface. By the way, the drive is a 3.0. 3) The system was near unusable. Any ordinary user would have not been able to use the system. 4) I noticed the disk cache (using command line utility top) was not utilizing hardly any memory. 5) I went under /sys/ and found the IO scheduler for the block devices was DEADLINE. It only showed DEADLINE and NOP. 6) I think it might should have CFQ. I'm not an expert on this area. 7) I tweaked the tunables so writes had a 30 second goal and reads had a 5 second goal. I might have tweaked another parameter or two. 8) The system regained about 80% of the performance I would expect. I still don't think it is running as well as it could. Without the fixes the system would be a severe problem for any user to the point they would not utilize the system. Thank you for making such a great distribution!!! I have always used Debian.
