Andi, if people are trying to find an optimal tuning then in many cases a reboot is out. There are two reasons for this: - a production server, can't just reboot! - it's sometimes hard to recreate the load which is causing problems, and far easier to get a working config by diddling and watching.
At least those are the reasons why I would feel able to tune the machines which most need it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
