thanks for clearing that

Do you know something about the new adaptive readahead patch which should be much simpler and more efficient than the current one? |
that would be interesting, didn't Andrew Morton drop the last readhead in his mm-tree ?

yeah, finally found a good patchset for my Thinkpad T60
Been searching for good patchset for 2.6.21 kernel and viper fulfills my needs nicely. Gotta test it once I get off from work. |

Do you mean me? I plan to use the latest viper patch. That's why I didn't specify the version in my above comment. |

Oh, Didn't knew that, I just came here from google so I didn't search for newer thread.
Currently running viper2 and it appears to be working nicely. Still gotta tune the kernel a bit to conserve my laptop's battery but that discussion won't belong here. |
