Guess i'll have to grab another drive then. My current one is pretty

also limited ram, i've got 512 mb which is quite small for a 64 bit

ext3 the best choice? Is there some easy way to
convert an reiserfs
partition to an ext3 one? All my partitions, including my root
partition are reiserfs so i'm assuming that may be something to do
with my inability to record more than 2 tracks at a time in ardour
with my amd64 3000+ system and sata drives.
You'd have to copy off all the data, mkfs again, and copy it back.
Do you have CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y in the mainline kernel config?
ReiserFS 3.x uses it heavily.
Also, I never claimed that mainline was OK on all hardware - it does
work for me and several others I have talked to. It will heavily depend
on the driver set.
Did you do:
echo 64 > /sys/block/hd*/queue/max_sectors_kb
like I described on the ML and my LAC2006 paper?
You could also use Ingo's latency tracer patch for the mainline kernel o
debug it.
