Whenever I copy a large file from the zip drive (for example /dev/da0s1), the "cp" process eats 98% of the system resources. What's behind all this? Is there a way to fix it? 711 root 54 0 280K 168K RUN 0:45 93.87% 93.21% cp A 'renice' won't help. -- Thanks in advance, Torbjorn Kristoffersen sgt@netcom.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
