[Bug 501715] Re: ureadahead doesn't reduce tracing buffer after profile

2010-04-07 Thread lavinog
I see 128000 kb was hardcoded into the source of ureadahead. I also see in mmiotrace.txt where this is used as an example: --- Check that mmiotrace did not lose events due to a buffer filling up. Either $ grep -i lost mydump.txt which tells you exactly how many events were lost, o

I have the same problem with kubuntu lucid beta1. The only measure for me to reduce this high memory usage, is always starting with an empty session and remove ureadahead. Normally I like intelligent memory usage, but it´s not funny when my system will be slower and slower when it begins to swap
