[plug] No net traffic with heavy IDE usage

[Simon Scott]

	interesting

	Depending on the machine specs and setup of your software, it may be
'normal' for it to do this, in that the cd burning software must keep a
constant flow of data to the writer.

	You could try setting the harddrive to DMA mode (it is IDE?) and see
if that frees up the processor a bit.


	Ill do the normal thing and ask: more info? hardware, distro, what
cd burning software you using etc

	Hi list,

	When i'm burning a CD (reading from or writing to), the hard drive
is
	thrashing under swap or just generally with heavy disk usage, all
	internet traffic stops until there is a pause in disk usage. I've
been
	running Debian (unstable) for about a year now, pretty sure it
didn't
	happen under Redhat 5.2/6.0. 

	Anyone have any ideas what might cause this? 

	Thanks 

	Nigel
