They start at 14 M/s for the first hour and then drop to 2.5 M/s and stay
that way. Reads do not seem effected and we've noticed this on the 2.2.16,

The pathname slab cache size was "reduced" from PAGE_SIZE to
PATH_MAX + 1 during the 2.4.0-test series, and len similarly
adjusted in do_getname(). But its "are we near top of task space?"
test should have been adjusted too: could overflow if page size >4KB.
Patch below against 2.4.2-ac9,
The CS89x0 driver wants a 16KB or 64KB dma_buff (if use_dma and
ANY_ISA_DMA), thinks it's asking __get_dma_pages() for 4 or 16
pages, but actually it's demanding order 4 or order 16 buffer.
Patch below against 2.4.2-ac9 or 2.4.2, offset against 2.4.[01].

Linus has spoken, and 2.4.x now requires swap = 2x RAM.
But, the 2GB per swap partition limit still exists, best as we can tell.
So, we sell machines with say 8GB RAM. We need 16GB swap, but really we
need like an 18GB disk with 8 2GB swap partitions, or ideally 8 disks with a

Greetings,
This is a CC of a post I sent last night to the redhat-list.
I am forwarding it to the kernel list as I hear others
have had file corruption and this might be of interest
Also, if anyone has any ideas
I got a couple of responses including:
1) Backup/restore the partition

DMA is off and I bet you did not enable the new AUTODMA config setting.

No change (I used 2.4.2-ac9, since that was available...). (The watchdog
doesn't trip and display output, but eventually the errors stop and

Hi,
I've just uploaded the current raw IO fixes as
kiobuf-2.4.2-ac8-A0.tar.gz on
ftp.uk.linux.org:/pub/linux/sct/fs/raw-io/
and
ftp.*.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/sct/raw-io/
This includes:
00-movecode.diff: move kiobuf code from mm/memory.c to fs/iobuf.c
hi,
After I installed a newer version of Kernel (2.4.2) and enable DMA option in
hardware configuration, the behavior changes.
I can see performance improvements when another thread is used. Also, i can
see timing overlaps between two threads. i.e. when one thread is blocked on a
page fault,

Getting a bit OffTopic(TM) here,
Hi all,
This patch contains the support parisc-linux needs in PCI generic.
My patch is not as clean as I'd like - but it should work.
Please send changes/feedback directly to me.
Code in parisc-linux CVS (based on 2.4.0) does boot on my OB800
(133Mhz Pentium), C3000, and A500 with PCI-PCI bridge
Okay I now have to create TCQ for ATA becasue I am not going to lose again
now that I am winning ;-)

Some time ago, I posted a question concerning
the device name "cd" (module sr_mod) not appearing automatically
under my 2.4.x devfs/devfsd configuration.
However, "generic" (module sg) does appear
automagically. This confused me a bit.
The subject I used back then was like
"devfs: "cd" device
