Re: Spin down HDD after disk sync or before power off

. snip Have you also looked at the definition of `emergency unload'? Maybe this number doesn't actually refer to the number of unloads caused by power loss, but because they detect a very high amount of vibration. But I'm not a hard disk expert. -- Ed Schouten e...@80386.nl WWW: http://80386.nl

Re: pahole - Finding holes in kernel structs

be a worthwhile effort ... IMHO. I guess it's also a wasted effort to reduce struct tty from 8xx to 7xx bytes, because it still allocates 1024 bytes of memory using malloc(9). I guess we should mainly focus on structures that are allocated using uma(9) or are slightly bigger than 2^n. -- Ed

Re: INTR_FILTER?

figure out whether the interrupt is spurious or not. After it has been determined it is not, an interrupt thread is scheduled to handle the interrupt. But as I said, I'm not sure. :-) -- Ed Schouten e...@80386.nl WWW: http://80386.nl/ pgpZnYO2BZE25.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Mackbook pro nvidia based video backlight

solution would be to integrate it into vidcontrol, calling some kind of ioctl on the TTY/consolectl, but syscons is too brainless to know anything about hardware specific features. -- Ed Schouten e...@80386.nl WWW: http://80386.nl/ pgpMgbBaYMZZ3.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Mackbook pro nvidia based video backlight

. No. sysctl is good for doing stuff like this. An even better approach would be to integrate it to the X11 driver, but I guess it will be cold day in hell when this happens. -- Ed Schouten e...@80386.nl WWW: http://80386.nl/ pgp27BNLrmNeG.pgp Description: PGP signature
