Wouldn't these settings make VFS flush larger ammount of dirty pages (cause of larger interval between flushing) so that flush storms can occur?
Data loss on power failure between flushes is increased, right?
Dunno it's all compromise depending on usage scenario.
What do you think? |

yes, you're right, 
this was mainly optimized for workloads on my laptop but also turned out to work nice on my desktop,
considering the risk of data loss & the performance gains I get it's worth it (at least for me),
a common practice of me after / during work with critical data also is to execute 'sync' manually

The paravirt "issue" has been there since paravirt support was introduced. Nothing new.

It seems I can't install 2.6.27-rc2-zen1. It gives this error:
| Code: |
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `n/n', needed by `firmware/n.gen.o'. Stop.
make: *** [firmware] Error 2
|
I compiled 2.6.26-zen1 successfully with the same .config. I don't try to compile any firmware myself.
Although I choosed N for new kernel options for firmware, it fails to compile.
What must I do?
My kernel options:
*Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware [Y]
*Prevent firmware from being built [Y]
*Userspace firmware loading support [m]
**Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary [n]
**External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary:n [n]
**Firmware blobs root directory:n [n]

thats because the bug from rc1 didnt get fixed in rc2 and I need to apply the fix still

how about rc3 ? was it fixed meanwhile ?
are you guys also experiencing lags with X under "heavy" load (>2.5): the mouse pointer and keyboard are acting very lazy
development with the scheduler is "A good thing" (TM) but with .27-rc* it's getting worse again, hopefully rc3 & onwards improves behavior again otherwise I need to renice stuff all the time 
are there severe regressions on rc3 preventing them from being merged ? (I remember reading about one on PowerPC)
thanks

My bad, after removing the wrong value "n" for firmware, it compiled fine.
But now alsa-driver-9999 does not compile;
| Code: |

* The specific snippet of code:

* The die message:

|
Any idea?
Also uname says "2.6.27-rc2-zen1-01492-g55fcb3d-dirty". What is the part "-01492-g55fcb3d-dirty"? A git thing?

what folder-structure does one need in order to do so ?

something in rc3 u want so bad?

yeah, the scheduler, lockdep fixes and sky2-stuff (these scheduler problems causes headaches for me: heavy load & working isn't possible anymore; I believe that those won'T be fixed until final but hopefully this makes a change ...)
it would nevertheless be nice to have the knowledge to do this stuff locally 
sorry for bothering you

Don't bother with alsa-driver-9999, it's still fetching from a dead hg repo. (They've switched to git and whoever is responsible for the ebuild in tree hasn't updated yet. You could try alsa-driver-1.0.17-r2 from http://repo.or.cz/w/gentoo-diskmaster-overlay.git

I tried also with zen-overlay virtualbox modules, but it's the same.
There is patch only for 2.6.27, is there also patch for 2.6.26 ?

Hi, Diskmaster. I tried your ebuilds (alsa-headers-1.0.17.ebuild and alsa-driver-1.0.17-r2).
Alsa headers compiled fine, but alsa-driver failed with the log belove;

any specific reason you don't use the kernel drivers?

Actually not. I just prefer the latest code. A bad habit. 
I just love live ebuilds.
There was an old thread that explains why not kernel drivers. I was in there.

Don't bother with alsa-driver-9999, it's still fetching from a dead hg repo. (They've switched to git and whoever is responsible for the ebuild in tree hasn't updated yet. You could try alsa-driver-1.0.17-r2 from http://repo.or.cz/w/gentoo-diskmaster-overlay.git |
Hi, Diskmaster. I tried your ebuilds (alsa-headers-1.0.17.ebuild and alsa-driver-1.0.17-r2).
Alsa headers compiled fine, but alsa-driver failed with the log belove;
(code block removed)
Also zen-overlay alsa-driver-1.0.17-r1 and portage alsa-driver-1.0.17 fail, too. |
Added alsa-driver-1.0.17-r3 but it's probably not going to help you. Wait for -rc3-zen* (assuming cheater or rmh pulls in alsa-kernel-git!)

since you guys are pretty experienced with git, could you please post some instruction on how to do the tree-updating locally ?
1.) e.g. updating from rc2 -> rc3; rc4 -> r5 (this should be done by pulling the mainline-stuff from linus' tree)
2.) merging the sub-trees into that one
what folder-structure does one need in order to do so ?
many thanks in advance |
something in rc3 u want so bad? |
scheduler fixes FTW !
besides that the intel-hda drivers seems to have problems with stereo-output (at least the sigmatel one)
in addition to that I'm also experiencing the heavy i/o lagging on ~amd64 (see in the amd64 subforum)
any chance to get a pull from .27-rc4 when it's out ? (hopefully most of the scheduler-issues should be adressed / fixed then)
just wanted to give a intermediate report concerning reiser4:
it's rockstable & even survives heavy loads such as compilation of openoffice + working with other browers (opera, firefox) and other stuff concurrently
thanks for getting it to run with .27 / .27-rc*-zen

For those of you who have not been looking in the git-repo, I rewrote the "zen-tunables" patch... its still a work in progress but its mostly done and working. The "tunables" are now called "system layouts" and you still can select in kconfig like you normally did (same with the CFS boost option). However I changed the backend allowing the system layouts and the privileged nice level to be configured while the system is running by reading and writing to the files in /sys/kernel/zen
| Code: | Redman zen-sources # ls /sys/kernel/zen/
custom_system_layout sched_privileged_nice_level system_layout
Redman zen-sources # cat /sys/kernel/zen/sched_privileged_nice_level
-8
Redman zen-sources # cat /sys/kernel/zen/system_layout
server file-server gaming desktop ll-desktop [custom]
Redman zen-sources # ls /sys/kernel/zen/custom_system_layout/
sched_latency sched_min_granularity sched_wakeup_granularity vm_dirty_ratio vm_swappiness
|
Reading from all the files should work, writing only works on sched_privileged_nice_level right now
also... the sys interface can be ebuilt as a module, just modprobe zen-tune

I'm almost done bumping the git tree to rc3, i haven't pushed master yet.
I'm planning to tag and release it as well.
