Well this all depends on the memory available to the running process. If the process is just allowed to allocate from a subset of memory (cpusets) then this may need to be lower. > + * 64MB: 8192k > + * 128MB: 11585k > + * 256MB: 16384k > + * 512MB: 23170k > + * 1GB: 32768k > + * 2GB: 46340k > + * 4GB: 65536k > + * 8GB: 92681k > + * 16GB: 131072k Hmmm... lets say we have the worst case of an 8TB IA64 system with 1k nodes of 8G each. On Ia64 the number of pages is 8TB/16KB pagesize = 512 million pages. Thus nfs_congestion_size is 724064 pages which is 11.1Gbytes? If we now restrict a cpuset to a single node then have a nfs_congestion_size of 11.1G vs an available memory on a node of 8G. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
