Hello I have 2.8 GHz Pentium IV with 1GB RAM and 250GB ATA-133 IDE disk on /dev/hdb. I did cat /dev/hdb > /dev/null and after a while (5 minutes), the system went totally unresponsive: 1) man top takes 3 minutes to display man page 2) Switching between console and X takes also a couple of minutes 3) top shows this: Cpu(s): 1.4% us, 1.4% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 97.3% hi, 0.0% si /dev/hdb is auxilliary disk that is not used, is not mounted and the root filesystem doesn't reside on it (of course). Kernel version is 2.6.3. Is this behaviour normal?
