Subject: hz_timer
When I do a
cat /proc/sys/kernel/hz_timer
it shows a '1'.
I set it to '0' as suggested for VM types. But after a boot, it is back
to '1'. The documentation on this doesn't say anything about needing to
put it in a boot script. Seems to imply that this is a one time only
thing.
So..
1. Am I doing something wrong?
2. Is it broke (Suse 8.1 Jan 15 2003 fixes I guess this makes it
2.4.19-46)
3. Is the docs wrong and I do have to put it in a boot script?
