Hi Forum

 

I have installed SL-5.3 x86_64 default installation/partitioning scheme in my laptop... the only... call it "different" thing that I have done is an LVM Luks encryption of my HDD ( It is a laptop, and I carry a lot of sensble stuff in it... )  In know it is not "MIL-SPEC hard" as a pkcs #13 protocol ( Elliptic Curve cryptography over discrete fields ) but man...  I do not carry warhead design plans, and sizing calculations with me...   :-)

 

Anyway...   Trying to dump the content of DVD data, 4.5 Gb of it into my desktop took me about 70mn...  THIS IS NUTS...    Trying to do the same in another install , unencrypted this time, in another machine ammounted to the same...

 

now, this IS an issue...   this laptop will be used in heavy number crunching engineering applications...  meaning disk I/O operations in the GB range ( Finite elements meshes, Genetic algorithm operations... massive data transfers to put it simply )

 

Can this be solved... ?

 

I used (aaarrgghhhh !!! ) Ubuntu with this same lappy and this problem was not there....  

 

What can I do...?
