[Digikam-users] 0.10.0 slow to open

[Andi Clemens]

The only thing I discovered with EXT4 and sqlite databases is that transaction 
writing is very slow.
So digiKam should start normal, but writing metadata or moving files inside of 
digiKam is 4times slower then with other filesystems.
This is due to the use of barriers in EXT4.
I disabled them in /etc/fstab (barrier=0) and digiKam is fast as before.

Maybe this will help in your case, too?
