It is pretty clear that with the introduction of quad core that 8 cpus is no longer a large machine in terms of SMP and servers are going to commonly exceed that in the near future. Seems we have a few options:
1) modify the server kernel to include these option to allow more CPUs in the standard server flavour, or 2) we could introduce a new 'bigserver' flavour, or 3) we could provide instructions for users to compile their own kernels with these options. First step is to talk to the server people and find out what the ramification of changing this. -- NR_CPUS=64 but kernel skipping CPUs above 8 with msg about CONFIG_X86_BIGSMP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287325 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
