Another thing that is rather unpleasant (haven't yet tried fiddling with the dirty limits) is UDF to DVD-RAM - try rsyncing /home to a DVD-RAM, that's going to leave you with tons of dirty buffers that clear slowly -- "watch -n 1 grep -i dirty /proc/meminfo" is boring, but elucidating... -- Matthias Andree - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
