Re: [LAU] Ardour complains disk system can't keep up

     Excellent idea! Thanks. So I've already
tested with Ardour as best I can imagine.
     I haven't looked at
# ls -lat /var/log/* | head -20
     It happens when we're playing and I'm
usually blown out with that.

     Given that my experience is satisfactory,
then what can I do to diagnose the disk
drive, controller, driver module, <what_else>
???
     Quick and dirty:
* up the RAM from 8GB to more
* replace the spinning drive with SSD
* other???

     Continued thanks.
