[lfs-support] Kernel Config, SSD
Does anything special need to be done with the kernel for optimal use of solid state drives? I recall something about turning on something called trimming, but I don't remember much more than that. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.

[lfs-support] Partial explanation for a test fail in sudo
For the last three BLFS versions, I have noticed a single failure in the check tests for sudo. The test that fails is testsudoers/test3. I have now discovered that this failure only occurs if the tests are carried out by root in chroot. For an unprivileged user, all tests pass. Because of the usefulness of sudo in installing packages, it often gets built as an appendix to LFS using the chroot environment. If you do this, you can expect the failure. -- Hazel -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
