Subject: Dell precision M50 and _very_ slow process startup
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2003 10:27:32 -0600 (CST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200301131627.h0DGRX101413@rapfast.petcom.com> (raw)

For some reason, the magicdev process slows the system to a crawl!
I'm guessing that this process watches for cd insertion, changes
to home directory, et. al.
There seems to be no man page or info for magicdev itself.

I've solved the problem temporarily by simply renameing
/usr/bin/magicdev...
