Package: kernel-package Version: 13.014 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I run make-kpkg as follows: nice ionice -c3 /usr/src/amd64.sh where the script contains: CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4 MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-4.9 LD=ld.gold CFLAGS=-march=athlon64" \ make-kpkg --config menuconfig --initrd linux-image on a 4-core Athlon 64 machine with 8 GB of RAM. during the stage: LINK vmlinux LD vmlinux.o MODPOST vmlinux.o GEN .version CHK include/generated/compile.h UPD include/generated/compile.h CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o KSYM .tmp_kallsyms1.o KSYM .tmp_kallsyms2.o LD vmlinux SORTEX vmlinux SYSMAP System.map other processes using the same disk get I/O starved and pause (e.g. playing a video file on the same disk). * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? * What was the outcome of this action? * What outcome did you expect instead? Is there anyway to get the kernel build process to take second place to other I/O on the same disk and not starve other I/O on the same disk? PS, I'm using: io scheduler cfq registered (default) *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.17.0+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kernel-package depends on: ii bc 1.06.95-9 ii binutils 2.24.51.20141001-3 ii build-essential 11.7 ii bzip2 1.0.6-7 ii dpkg-dev 1.17.16 ii file 1:5.19-2 ii gettext 0.19.2-3 ii kmod 18-3 ii po-debconf 1.0.16+nmu3 ii xmlto 0.0.25-2 ii xz-utils [lzma] 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 Versions of packages kernel-package recommends: ii cpio 2.11+dfsg-2 ii docbook-utils 0.6.14-3 ii kernel-common 13.014 ii uboot-mkimage 2012.04.01-2 Versions of packages kernel-package suggests: ii libncurses5-dev [libncurses-dev] 5.9+20140913-1 pn linux-source <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/kernel-pkg.conf changed: maintainer := Arthur Marsh email := arthur.ma...@internode.on.net priority := Low -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
