Hi Guido,
1. I noticed that the debian iso-download on this 06-21 image was
jittery, stopping the now-counter for a second every few MBs. Is that an
effect of these patches?
I don't think so. I suppose you were testing this with the RAM fs? If
yes, the jittery effect may be caused by the successive expansion of the
RAM file system. Each time it runs out of RAM quota, it blocks until the
sculpt manager explicitly increases the quota. The current quota is
displayed as capacity value of the 'ram' storage item. When it stops for
a moment, you'll most likely see the value increase shortly afterward,
before the download continues.
I haven't seen the jitter with the RAM-fs, although I saw it expanding.
I noticed it with the freshly expanded GENODE partition on my usb-2
stick. (the previously 'bad' one).
Perhaps it's too much people watching netflix...
2. With the old (sculpt-tc) image, the debian download sometimes hang
with what looked like a filesystem lockup.
No. We rarely (I have seen it only twice in the last two months) observe
instabilities of the rump-based file-system server. Once this happens,
you may try closing the inspect window (by disabling all 'inspect'
buttons), and then opening the inspect window for the ram fs (which
should not be affected). Then you can inspect the '/report/log' for
file-system-related error messages.
It would be cool to secure the log should encounter the problem again.
I'll try to replicate it. Wish me luck.
Cheers, Guido.
