Hi,
About a week ago, I bought an AMD Thunderbird 1.2GHz CPU with a 266MHz
frontside bus, along with an Epox 8KTA3 motherboard.
If I boot into 2.2.18pre2, which was the version on the old hard drive I'm
using for testing, everything runs just fine. However, if I boot into a

To your complaint, I have to add my kudos. I frequently run into

well over a year of using it on half a dozen workstations. I use 2.4

In both cases (X15 and TUX) the CPU utilization is 100%
There are no IO bottlenecks on disk or on the net side.
I think that the major bottleneck is the speed of RAM and the PCI bus, wait
cycles.
We are basically going at the speed of the hardware.

Note that this one happens to be ok.
The buffer cache is "virtual" in the sense that /dev/hda is a completely
separate name-space from /dev/hda1, even if there is
I think Andrea's rwsem-patches fix these, but i'm not sure. You might give
it a try, though.

Hi! I am newbie in this list! .. I'm Federico Edelman Anaya ... well! ..
I have a question ...
I need increase the FD (File Descriptors) ... I was change the value of
the FD in kernel 2.2.17:
/usr/include/bits/types.h:
#define __FD_SETSIZE1024-> 4096

I was wondering if anyone could tell me who is responsible for the patch I
have included? It fixes some issues with scanning the scsi bus,

has created this if they have submitted it to be included in the mainstream
2.2.x
We have tested the rawio and o_direct patches from Andrea Arcangeli
with great success, and wondered if they will be part of the next
kernel release, 2.4.4?
So far we have tested these patches on four different systems.

It does not even do that - as of 2.4, the VFS in the kernel also knows how
to cache a filestructure itself. It's in the
