If this is as a result of dpkg calling "fsync" a lot, un-necessarily... then perhaps we should consider this partly an issue with dpkg as well as with btrfs?... I might even go so far as to say that it could be described as a bug in other filesystems which are not honouring the fsync call?
I welcome comments on that, but having read this thread... I'm not sure this is 100% the fault of btrfs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/601299 Title: maverick btrfs slow install -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
