I know that 1 is a valid value and I know how that can be set. Still, it does not help if you believe that setting the threshold to 1 can speed up the failure. Either you know it for sure or not. You can believe in god or whatever, but here we talk about facts. Please start coming up with facts and proper explanations. Thanks, tglx
