Jeff: 1) By default (i.e. on a desktop) flushing every 30 seconds can reduce disk I/O pressure (i.e. it reduces pressure later on because that data is already on disk). 2) Was that not mentioned? Disabling atime is usually among the first suggestions... 3) I don't think I'd go so far as to disable klogd and sysklogd. If your computer crashes or something untoward happens you will have no evidence of what happened in the run up.
Just out of interest aren't a whole bunch of these things controlled when you use the laptop-mode package (see /etc/laptop-mode/laptop- mode.conf for all the settings that can be controlled when its installed) ? -- hard disk being accessed every 4 sec. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/17878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
