Could someone please share their fstab for their diskless frontend that is working?
I found that my diskless xBox is stuttering a little although CPU usage is only ~50%. The 766mhz PIII PVR250 backend is fine, and is able to broadcast stutter free to my wife's 1Ghz PIII with only 0.3% CPU usage while the xBox continues to stutter. Since the CPU usage is relatively low on the xBox I am wondering if the problem could be the MFS root mount: xbox ~ # cat /etc/fstab # <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass> 192.168.0.1:/mnt/data/xbox / nfs rw,sync,hard,intr,nolock,nfsvers=2 0 0 /dev/hda50 /mnt/fatx/E fatx defaults 0 0 /mnt/fatx/E/linuxswap none swap sw 0 0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 #network nfs volumes 192.168.0.1:/mnt/data/music /mnt/music nfs noauto,ro,users,nolock,nfsvers=2 0 0 I notice that the memory usage is close to full, at 118MB or 122MB. It seems like there are several big mythfrontend processes: xbox ~ # ps -ef |grep myth root 6252 1 0 16:56 ? 00:00:00 login -- mythtv mythtv 6258 6252 0 16:56 tty1 00:00:00 -bash mythtv 6265 6258 0 16:56 tty1 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/startx mythtv 6278 6265 0 16:56 tty1 00:00:00 xinit /home/mythtv/.xinitrc -- -nolisten tcp -br -deferglyphs 16 mythtv 6281 6278 0 16:56 tty1 00:00:00 xclock -digital -padding 2 -g -0+0 mythtv 6284 6281 0 16:56 tty1 00:00:00 /usr/bin/evilwm -snap 6 -bw 0 mythtv 6289 6281 0 16:56 tty1 00:03:06 mythfrontend mythtv 6290 6289 0 16:57 tty1 00:00:00 mythfrontend mythtv 6291 6290 0 16:57 tty1 00:00:00 mythfrontend mythtv 6745 6290 0 21:30 tty1 00:00:05 mythfrontend mythtv 6746 6290 34 21:30 tty1 00:29:46 mythfrontend mythtv 6747 6290 1 21:30 tty1 00:00:58 mythfrontend mythtv 6749 6290 0 21:30 tty1 00:00:12 mythfrontend mythtv 6750 6290 0 21:30 tty1 00:00:35 mythfrontend root 6751 6201 0 21:37 ? 00:00:00 sshd: mythtv [priv] mythtv 6754 6751 0 21:37 ? 00:00:00 sshd: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/0 mythtv 6755 6754 0 21:37 pts/0 00:00:00 -bash root 6891 6778 0 22:55 pts/0 00:00:00 grep myth I'm guessing that the reason why there are so many instances of mythfrontend is because the system is using heavy weight threads. Would I improve things by going to NPTL? Please let me know if you have any ideas, I'm going to let lirc wait for now while I get the picture stutter free, the wife is not quite as happy as I was hoping :-( I'm using a 2.6.12.5 kernel and mythTV 0.18.1-r1 Thanks!
