Has anyone else been using Reiser4 with Alpha? I've been using it for a while, but only just realized that it generated tons of alignment fixups - during intense operation, it can be hundreds of thousands per second.
I was wondering why kernel compiles were so slow - they would basically lock my machine up. At first I thought it was an ide thing - until recently I had only been using scsi drives. Has anyone else seen this? So, far I have managed to find and kill a few of them - just wan't sure if anyone else had seen this. In most cases it has been caused by bit-arrays allocated with an unaligned base and then accesses 8bytes at a time = always unaligned (ouch!) I did a large file copy and afterwards I had added 4billion kernel alignment fixups. :-) (took about 40minuted for the file copy - ~20GB - I knew it should've gone faster than that). ...tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
