The ck improvements are not total. BFS is not included. For swappiness, the default debian kernel uses 0. So there were no changes there. I guess with current desktops, swapping only when memory is full is reasonable... it is one of those tunings which is up for debate... you can still change it through sysctl. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
