I'm setting CGROUPS for the x86/x86_64 server flavour as well as all of the sparc/powerpc/hppa/ia64 flavours. Changing the desktop default at this late stage is seen as too risky. This is definitely a topic that needs some discussion at UDS, particularly in light of the application space tools requ

A situation for which the currently configured kernel is poor is the following: - a single-user desktop machine - runs a scripted daily backup using, eg, tar and bz2 compression. The backup script needs to run as root, to access files system wide. Because of the compression stage, the backup scri

I suggest that CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED be the default. Fair user scheduler can be simulated with the help of a userspace daemon posted at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/553267 . You will need to make minor changes and fix some corner cases, but it is possible. CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED h

As far as I understand it, CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED is still the preferred configuration and will provide the previous behavior by default (with only one big group for all processes). However, setup seems to be more difficult/powerful (see Documentation/cgroups.txt in the linux source). I don't kn

The last of the above messages indicates a patch (which is now included in Ubuntu 2.6.24-8). Do you think it will be sufficient, or do you still see a need to change the scheduler default? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: Ubuntu Kernel Team (ubuntu-kernel-team) => Tim Gardner (timg-tp
