 |
|
the amd64 documentation warns about PREEMPT in the kernel. (is this still a valid suggestion?)
to discover the real reason behind my large compile-system-lockup I am trying
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=n
NForce4/X2 3800+
what do you all use for your PREEMPT kernel options? |

| Code: | $ zgrep PREEMPT /usr/src/linux/.config
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y
|
and everything seems to be running just fine

| Code: | $ zgrep PREEMPT /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL is not set |
and everything runs smooth as silk on my amd64 system even during massive disk usage such as backing up 17 Gigs to a firewire drive. |
