But my problem is why linux boxes do not response for few seconds (sometimes) and especially during telnet/ssh it looks more worst and looks similar to Microsoft Windows :(
there is problem in scheduling or what ?
Sounds like IO starvation, if your reading from one partition to the other, it's going to suck for IO --- the head will be going nuts. Also, 2.2.x has a single IO queue for writes (doesn't it?), so that won't help.
What if you dd a file from one partition to another, is the problem lesser with larger buffers, say 64M or so?
What about dd from /dev/zero to a partition, so you get heavy writes, does this also suck?
