Greetings Con & company; I built and rebooted to 2.6.20.3-rdsl-0.31 earlier this evening, but purposely waited till amanda was well underway to make a report.
The report is that I really really have to work hard to tell that amanda is running even though the cpu according to gkrellm is running between 97 and 99%. For my loading then, this is as much an improvement over the -ck1 patch as it was over the un-patched but same version of the kernel. FWIW, I'd also built a 2.6.20.3-rdsl-0.30 and ran it for a day but it was nearly as spastic as no patch. Did I say I like this yet? :) Now I'm waiting for 2.6.21-rc4 to make the mirrors & see if tar is still broken. Based on the clues I've been able to find, I bz'd the tar since that's a fedora supplied rpm install. Humm, I just now recalled that I have a tarball built tar-1.15.1 on another drive, I was using it when I was running FC2, so that might be something else to bisect against, and I will, bet on it. Many thanks Con, this is very nice. I've only seen one split second when the screen was about 2 chars behind my typing. This is great. :-) -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
