Hugo has explained the limits of regarding

        dmesg | grep relocating

or (more simple) the last lines of "dmesg" and looking for the  
"relocating" lines. But: what do these lines tell now? What is the  
(pessimistic) estimation when you extrapolate the data?

(please excuse my gerlish)

Viele Gruesse!
