> This kind of stuff is the reason I avoid Linux when I want reliability. so what do you use? I was searching for what you were mentioning and on a Solaris list I see someone asking about an easier way than touching all of malloc'ed memory because it's not allocated on malloc. So it seems Solaris does/did this as well as Linux. BTW, one mention was to "touch" just on block in the memory saying that was enough and another mentioned using mlock because that forces allocation. > And the Linux community takes its cue from Linus and ignores things that > are 1% fails if they get in the way of "performance" (see async writes > to disk as default for another example). are these kinds of thing kept out of the kernel all together or available with compiling options? I know you can't please everyone all the time but there are some things where a compile option keeps those special case people happy.
