Yesterday I was making a level 0 dump of my /usr partition (32429 MB) to another drive, which was being compressed with bzip2. CPU usage was around 97% [for bzip2], but I didn't notice anything. While the dump was underway, I was browsing with Firefox, and writing in emacs. > The reason I wanted to see any changelog was to see if there is any=20 > changes to this part of the code at all before trying it, but file by=20 > file I would probably be lost since I am not a programmer. The file is the most usual way to partition code. How else would you know where to look? Some other thing you might look at is if too many devices are sharing an interrupt. Try ps -xa|grep '\[irq.*\]' If so, that might give problems, I think. Anything in the logfiles?
