This is interesting, can you please tell us what your filesystem
configuration is? I am very interested in hearing how this might
help folks with different fs's on /tmp. It was a particularly
dramatic improvement when /tmp was on reiserfs (when I discovered
the problem/solution). If people are seeing xrun problems while
using JACK, I recommend that they try one the options mentioned
in my previous reply email, and let us know the results, and your
fs configuration.

The main
problem is that jack writes data to a /tmp file. It has been
found that mounting /tmp as tmpfs (in RAM) solves the problems that many
people have experienced with lockups while using JACK.
I have been plagued with little xruns for a while now, and couldn't
figure out why! I'd seen something on using /tmpfs, but for some odd
reason I thought it was for people using a journalled FS on their root
filesystem. Duh!
I applied this this morning, and have been recording some things, and
have not seen a single xrun during recording!!! Woohoooooo! Hopefully
this puts an end to that little problem.
