Hi,
I have used hg (mercurial) satisfactorily until about a month ago or so.
Somehow hg diff has become very slow.
I am using it on two Debian GNU/Linux PC (64-bit).
It is possible that latest OK kernel update in Debian may have changed
something like file cache policy, etc. But user visible change like this
is rather unlikely.
I am using fsmonitor extension, and maybe there could have been changes
related inotify in the recent kernels offered by Debian.
My version is linux 4.7.0-1
uname -a
Linux ip030 4.7.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.7.8-1 (2016-10-19) x86_64
GNU/Linux
(Come to think of it, I should get a newer fsmonitor from facebook site
for 4.7.0-1 or later kernel.)
Or maybe the change in the kernel might have caused the changes in the
optimal setting for
sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches= ???
sysctl fs.inotify.max_queued_events= ???
sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_instances= ???
Has anyone experienced such strange slowdown recently under Debian
GNU/linux with 4.7.x kernel?
Or can someone suggest a modern optimal set of values of s.inotify.max* ?
TIA
