One of the kernel options isn't worded right. CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT has the following short description: Disable watchdog shutdown on close The long description however gives the real meaning: --- The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is to stop the timer if the process managing it closes the file /dev/watchdog. It's always remotely possible that this process might get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once it has been started. --- How about changing: Disable watchdog shutdown on close with: Don't cancel the watchdog timer on close Thanks, Marc -- Home page: http://magic.metawire.com/~merlin/ (browser friendly) Finger merlin@magic.metawire.com for PGP key and other contact information - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/faq.html | ||||||||||||
