The kernel works fine, good work! However (as stated in the notes.txt) I cannot get ati-drivers emerged. Does anyone have any pointers?

@fallow:

Yes, I ditched reiser4 log time ago for ext3 with -O dir_index and I haven't looked back ever since! I don't notice any performance change.

Hmm I haven't seen the new logo... I guess maybe I could reboot some time without fbsplash on and try it... Well, so far it's fast and stable. Too bad ati's drivers are such crap... lol

Just a heads-up to any oss/pro users.I received a whole slew of continous kernel backtraces while running madplay....was quite a sight to behold,actually :) Not sure if it is the real-time patches or just this kernel revision but it is broken,nonetheless.Good chance that vmware will be broken too(although I did not try it) as it was broken in the jade-x patchset(which uses ingo-rtp also).Hopefully nickshed will be an option again in future releases,as 2.6.12-rc1-love1 is still the best kernel around in terms of performance and stability in my experience.

Well... after some days (not continous uptime because of initng testing)... i must say that HERE it's a rock stable release... I didn't notice any slowdown, strange behaivour or hardlock... Did compilations, played 3D accel games, played music, accessed freebsd nfs server dirs, used vmware workstation...

You are so informative, it would be easier for people to help you if you gave just a bit more information than "it's broken", anything in the logs, any trace or oops info.. anything?

Yeah , Im very happy ext3 user now :)

Hm, I can remove debugging options in this kernel off in default_config just.
We not looking to rerurt to the nicksched. We want to put love into Ingosched + partial RTP way.

Does anyone has problems using the madwifi drivers (latest madwif-driver ebuild) in combination with this kernel or is it just me ?

tnx

I just can't understand why you suddenly recommend ext3 as filesystem. When I was a ext3 user long time ago, it felt very slow. And this benchmark says the same. So why using ext3? Either this benchmark is wrong, or you are wrong. :roll:

silverter > same problem with the cvs version of the madwifi modules ... I dont't know if the problem come from this patchset or from the -rc3 (works fine with the -rc2) :

Code:
wlan: Unknown symbol __raw_rwlock_is_locked


Thanks ;)

I agree. Regressing to ext3 just because one has suddenly realized reiser4 is still broken...makes littles sense.

reiserfs (version 3) is (was?) Gentoo's default filesystem, and remains ideal for most users. xfs is also fine.

Hello there,

a question to you fallow: What options for ext3 do you use in your /etc/fstab? Is there another possibility to tweak the filesystem? For example, reiserfs uses notail. Are there any options for ext3, too?

1) You must understand that _PURE_ speed of filesystem isnt all ;) there are also other aspects for example like latencies , cpu usage and even "some kind of fs preempting".
2) Just look at Ingo Molnar's many of (latency) fixes for EXT* filesystem . Why He doesnt doing it for reiser* ( just an rethoric question ;) )
3) EXT3 isnt a extremal fs like reisefs who are GOOD in some aspect and BAD in other. EXT3 just is AVERAGE in every aspect. not winning in some and loosing in others , its just average in every . this thing making a good balance for overall using. Reiserfs is faster at some apects but is the worst at other apects. Just is no any magic in the wold . and ther is no BEST fs for all . there is also no remedium for the world :)
ext* family is most average , reiser* is extremly good and bad at once. xfs and jfs are bad and good without this extremly prefix :) hehe.

4) finally look for the tests.

a) bonnie++

my box : AMD 1.0 Athlon , 256 MB Ram
HDD used for tests IBM
hdd: IC35L040AVVA07-0, ATA DISK drive
hdd: max request size: 128KiB
hdd: 80418240 sectors (41174 MB) w/1863KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100)
all tests with the same kernel , IngoSched ,CFQ-TS IO Scheduler , and latest versions of all fs code.

and notice also this thing :

is a difference if copying a kernel dir can take You a 3 seconds more if time of it is around ~20 secs ?
for me this is no diffence .
the ne xt question ?
if this 3 seconds bennefit is worh of loss interactivity and cpu usage ?
;)

cheers.

You can add dir_index feature ( hasged b-trees to indexing dirs support ) and configure journall usage.
for example set size of it, set a external device for journal map , or "deep" of it .
all popular fs didnt journal ALL. xfs,jfs,or reisefs jorunalling only metadata. in ext3 You can journall ALL.

but imho is good to add dir_index just. DEFAULT Journalling options for ext3 are very good :)
no special reason to changing it.

cheers.

Well, the most logical answer to this question is that in reiserfs there is nothing to fix. But ext3 is a slow filesystem and needs some tweaking to be usable.

hehe :) the answer is completly dirrerent ;)
reiserfs is just non-fixable by design.

no potential way to fix latencies in it just.
all other fs maintainers are still improving this ascpect of filesystem .
cheers.

3) EXT3 isnt a extremal fs like reisefs who are GOOD in some aspect and BAD in other. EXT3 just is AVERAGE in every aspect. not winning in some and loosing in others , its just average in every . this thing making a good balance for overall using. Reiserfs is faster at some apects but is the worst at other apects. Just is no any magic in the wold . and ther is no BEST fs for all . there is also no remedium for the world :)
ext* family is most average


fallow is right 8) ext3 has good balance for overall rating 8)

2) Just look at Ingo Molnar's many of (latency) fixes for EXT* filesystem . Why He doesnt doing it for reiser* ( just an rethoric question ;) )

Well, the most logical answer to this question is that in reiserfs there is nothing to fix. But ext3 is a slow filesystem and needs some tweaking to be usable.

OK, thanks. The problem areas there are the timer-based route cache
flushing and reiserfs.

We can probably fix the route caceh thing by rescheduling the timer after
having handled 1000 routes or whatever, although I do wonder if this is a
thing we really need to bother about - what else was that machine up to?

resierfs: yes, it's a problem. I "fixed" it multiple times in 2.4, but the
fixes ended up breaking the fs in subtle ways and I eventually gave up.

Now I'll suggest you do some research before making wild claims next time mate.
