I beg to differ - ksmtuned does its calculations based on the used memory of qemu(.*-kvm) processes. It wouldn't be hard to modify for other use-cases, but in the current state it just won't be useful otherwise. ksmctl would be a candidate for util-linux. Maybe I should just create a ksmtuned (or ksm-control!?) package. -- Bernd Zeimetz Debian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.de http://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
