If you're using DELL PowerEdge and given the model version , you may be out of luck.

I really took this black notebook outdoors for temperature stability 
testing. But I didn't place an external temp. sensor between keyboard 
and the chipsets heatsink, that's true... ;-)

Same on here now, but some clouds...

I've tried it some months ago. After collecting all the needed things 
and compiling over it didn't say more than my thermometer, IIRC one 
veryfiably correct temperature value :-(

"Me too!" :-))

In 1994 I went from Goslar (Western Germany) to Ilmenau (Eastern 
Germany) to study mechanical engineering on a non-overcrowded 
university. The people are really o.k. here. Passing the last years 
through my mind it was a good choice and it's really nice and worth 
living here!


Greetings,

Manuel

You are not exaggerate? Aren't you?

We have ~30°C (shadow) and I have 26°C in my "working room", today here in
Hamburg, Northern Germany.

Have you ever considered to use lm_sensors?
You need the latest kernel patch (2.6.4 CVS).

It is a performance tweak, my next patch removes that bit entirely. 
Thanks to some hints from Andrew Morton I've been able to do many more
optimizations for high load fsync heavy applications.  The new patch
will be out later tonight.

BTW, what is this "only" diff good for (is it worth to recompile, I mean):

Don't know where to reply best...

Hi, again!

I want to make some more comments on my latest words.

As I said I first used the data=journal mode and got nice timings. O.k. 
I really think after that "revision" my previous kernel setup wasn't 
that well configured as I thought and felt. Long time degression?!

I really had the reiserfs messages in my logs that it explicitely used
this mode. The only problem I obviously had, so far, was to distinguish 
the mount options at darkest night: data=logging is no mount-option but 
the description "data-logging", the mount option for it is data=journal
-- Passing rootflags=data=journal in lilo.conf and data=logging in fstab 
results in an uncontrollable kernel ;-) Huh!
Sorry, for my thoughtless testing. But my posted timings are quite 
relieble on here.

Concerning VMware the "same speed on 1/2 RAM" results are even more
impressing as VMware seems to buffer it's memory contents to /tmp/... fs 
again since I reduced the RAM. With 512MB it didn't seem to need this 
method usually.

The data=ordered mode saves 1..2secs from of my previously posted load
times for NS7 and OOo-1.0 and seems to be stable itself in "everydays 
usage" and for my VMware sessions, too. I didn't test the 
"crash->no-garbage-in-files" case and the more recent 
03-beta-data-logging-6.diff, yet.

I was extraordinary glad to see the explicit wording of the mounted 
partition in the logs we missed for so long time!

Thanks for your help,

Manuel
