@Scott I'm not certain I agree with your assertion that "this is a kernel issue and should be fixed in the kernel code." There is no chance this change will be taken upstream and there is a perfectly good usermode mechanism for overriding this value (sysctl(8)). This is in fact exactly why this value is exposed to user space. Given this, it seems strange to carry such an unnecessary patch for eternity in our kernel tree.
Perhaps the right solution would be to drop a file in /etc/sysctl.d from linux-image-generic? - Ben -- bad default swappiness for desktop systems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516834 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
