I was pondering that (vm.swappiness) as well. I recall reading an article recently (I read it recently, but not sure how recent it was written) that said gentoo-sources, and others, has memory management built-in that negates the need for swappiness. Perhaps that's true?

That is what I am assuming, but I hope to get some more "official" answer

try putting spaces between =
also another problem you might run into is everywhere I look its 33,66,0 so maybe that might help too.

|
|
Hi all,
I just finished installing nitro-5 and it's awesome!! I'm having just one issue. In /var/log/messages :
| Quote: | | * CONFIG_HOTPLUG not enabled for this kernel! |
And indeed, I forgot to set it to "yes," so I changed it, made sure that both CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y AND CONFIG SYSCTL=y (I swear it, I checked twice now). And recompiled. Well, I'm at a loss now b/c hotplug is still not enabled for whatever reason.
Any help would be much appreciated! |

There is no swappiness knob in -ck based kernels. There is the "mapped" knob which works in the opposite direction (higher is less swappy) and 66 is the default value. However with mapped watermark it is recommended not to raise it any further because it is already very aggressive at avoiding swap and will cause out-of-memory conditions. See http://kernel.kolivas.org for some more info on the mapped watermark patch. |

Do you still have the same error message or does hotplug just don't work? AFAIK you have to do following to get hotplug fully working:
| Code: | emerge hotplug && rc-update add hotplug default
emerge coldplug && rc-update add coldplug default |

@boollucks: Thanks for the explanation. That's the "article" I was trying to remember. Skimmed over it yesterday and didn't see it (should have used find).
@Cinder6: I think I hijacked your questions ... anyway, thanks for asking. That's one less thing I'd have to remember to ask/lookup.

ram : 512Mb
dualscreen with xinerama (both in 1280x1024) and two graphic cards
nvidia version : 1.0.6629-r4
gentoo x86 (stable)
full reiser4
timeslice* parameters experience :
for reactivity : a small timeslice (I don't go under 4) and a high timeslice_factor
for stability : I havn't tested, suppose the opposite of reactivity
I started with (6, 15, 1) some sound jerks when switching between full screen windows, mozilla crach sometimes.
I finished with (4, 18, 1), sound jerks are not (or rarely), I waiting for mozilla crashs ...
burst_factor still at 1. |

Coldplug is working fine, albeit, I'm running it at boot not default (should it be the other way around?) And hotplug is emerged and trying to run at the default rc. Still having the same problem tho. I'm really thinking that this is a kernel issue. Thanks! |

I *think* you want coldplug and hotplug running at default. That was how I had them, before I got rid of the necessity to have them.

I still seem to have trouble getting Wireless setup up with ipw2200.
It seems I can connect to open network [ my school network works fine ]. When I try to connect to my home network I cant get connected to the WEP network.
Here is my relavent configuration information:

From the looks of it I can see the network, even though broadcasting is dissabled [which I hope is a good thing]

* Trying to force preferred in case they are hidden
* Connecting to "PHanTOM" (WEP enabled - open) ... [ ok ]
* eth1 connected to "PHanTOM" at 00:13:10:E2:41:BA
* in managed mode (WEP enabled - open)
* Configuring eth1 for "PHanTOM" ... [ ok ]
* Bringing up eth1
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ... [ !! ]

This is my first time using nitro-sources, and I must admit, this kernel makes my system FLY! It would be ashame to go back to a "supported" kernel. Any constructive help would be grately apprececiated, thanks in advance! |

I have problems (d'uh).
System : AMD Athlon64 3200+ socket 754 on a K8N-E Deluxe, using the on-board firewire ports.
The firewire works flawlessly.
But Scsi doesn't.
The following happens when i try to modprobe scsi_mod, required by sr_mod and/or sd_mod, in turn required for sbp2.

What would the echo command look like for these >>> /proc/sys/kernel/{timeslice,timeslice_factor,burst_factor} with an echo command too ?
ie timeslice=3 or timeslice = 3 ? I dont want to experiment and screw something up.
The reason I'm trying to adjust these since the upgrade to nitro5 I'm have display problems with VDR on my tv takes several seconds before the picture and osd displays correctly when changing channels. fyi 2.6.12 nitro2 did not have this problem. |

I'm not sure, but I think its:
echo "NR" > /proc/sys/kernel/whatever
But hey I'm not sure, so can anyone confirm this...
