You can check if laptop_mode is enabled with: cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode My desktop says 0 (disabled), and my laptop says 2 (enabled, but no idea why it's not 1). Moreover, if your filesystem is ext3, a "mount" shows the following: /dev/hda6 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,acl,user_xattr,commit=600) where the important part is the option "commit=600", the value being your MAX_AGE parameter. If laptop_mode is disabled, the parameter is either absent or "commit=0". -- Remy Remove underscore and suffix in reply address for a timely response. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
