I was just reading a recent thread on debian-user which suggested changing the PPP mtu/mru to 296 for better performance. I did this, and well I wouldn't call this an improvement! The local end of the link is running linux 2.0.34 and I think it's going to crash any minute now:
In the syslog: Sep 11 11:49:09 silly last message repeated 150 times Sep 11 11:49:09 silly kernel: k on freelist at 01136808 isn't free. Sep 11 11:49:09 silly kernel: Problem: block on freelist at 01136808 isn't free. Sep 11 11:49:33 silly last message repeated 154 times Trying to run things gives various versions of the above plus the occasional socket: no more data space, plus once "no more processes". Time to upgrade the kernel -- will this go away? I also use BSD compression on the link. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB (ex-VK3TYD). CCs of replies from mailing lists are welcome.
