Feature requet: Full F2FS support in Ubuntu 15.10

2015-08-14 Thread Teg Skywalker
Seeing that Ubuntu 15.10 will ship with version 4.2 of the Linux kernel that 
will have improvements to the F2FS file system, will there be an effort to 
update Ubiquity to support it during install? Sa.e goes for the f2fs-package 
being available during a live CD for gparted as well. If GRUB doesn't support 
booting from F2FS, maybe add a warning as some of us will have the separate 
/boot partition formatted to EXT4 while / and /home may be using F2FS.

In past releases, we had to add f2fs to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules in order 
for the OS to load it during boot. If we can remove that requirement, then that 
would be great too.

In summary, it seems about time for F2FS support to be ready for Ubuntu for the 
15.10 out of the box as there have been many improvements to it at the kernel 
level in the 4.x series and the f2fs-tools package has matured as well. Heck, 
if this works out, maybe consider it for 14.04.4 down the road as it will have 
the 4.2 kernel as well.

kGraft/kPatch support in Ubuntu 15.10 or 16.04?

2015-08-14 Thread Andrew Martin
Hello,

I was very excited to see live kernel patching get accepted into the mainline
kernel in 4.0. For server environments where uptime is crucial and rebooting
servers to install kernel security fixes is very disruptive, the ability to live
patch security fixes into the running kernel is a very desirable feature. Are
there any plans to add support for the kGraft/kPatch support available in 4.x
series kernels in Ubuntu Server 15.10 or 16.04? This would be a fantastic 
feature
for the next LTS release!

Thanks,

Andrew Martin

If jbd2 is writing 12.8 times per min how can your disk spin down after 
30 min?


Even if you increase jdb2 sync like I did, kworker will continue writing 
every few seconds, so how can the drive spin-down?


I must me missing something.

As already pointed out, the drive in question is _sdc_, not _sdb_ [1].

What about kworker?

I wonder, if AppArmor or any of the other software I didn't chose to
install myself could be the culprit.

It unlikely is kernel related. It most likely is caused by some user
space software.

However, I anyway need to compile an Rt patched kernel and could do it,
using the same config as for my Arch install.
