https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225463 Summary: at: strange scheduling Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 5 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jengelh(a)gmx.de QAContact: qa(a)suse.de atd always renices tasks based on their queue queue -> nice 'a' -> 1 'b' -> 3 'c' -> 5 This is inherently bad -- a task can never be scheduled at the normal nice level 0 or any even (2, 4, ...) level. This patch fixes this, and implicitly changes the meaning of the queue names ('a' is not 1 anymore, but 0), but a < b still holds true. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 346194] New: prevent hard and dvd drive from unnecessary spinups

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=346194 Summary: prevent hard and dvd drive from unnecessary spinups Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb(a)gmail.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: Community of Practice On a system with two hard disks the second disk /dev/sdb spins up from time to time although no file or swap partition is mounted fromout of that drive. This is ala long not good for the physics of that drive and can be very annoying because /dev/sdb is quite noisy; hdparm -Y /dev/sdb helps up to the next spinup (openSuse 10.3; smartctl already mentions a worsened spinup time; maybe because of continuing multiple unnecessary spinups). Similarely on a notebook under Suse10.1 a cdrom is spinned up multiple times during the boot process, if any is inserted, although there is no reason to access the cd during boot time (noisy, slows the boot process down). There should not be any program accessing a drive without mounted partitions. Is there any? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 350980] New: The system stops doing things till I press a key or move the mouse: every things halts.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=350980 Summary: The system stops doing things till I press a key or move the mouse: every things halts. Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: robin.listas(a)telefonica.net QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- This is very weird. Sometimes, the system simply stops "working". Doesn't crash, simply all tasks seems stopped. Nothing refreshes in the display. The clock stops. A script running a loop in a console: #!/bin/bash while true ; do # date +"%T" | tee -a /home/cer/marca.log date +"%T" >> /home/cer/marca.log sleep 1 done stops as well. Then, as soon as I move the mouse or touch a key (shift, for instance) everything continues and the clock jumps some seconds or minutes to the correct time. I have tried several things, as discussed in the "opensuse" mail list (<http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-12/msg01780.html>). No effect. - check the desktop for powersave features - nothing, and there is nothing configurable that would kick in in seconds of no user activity. - pass cpufreq=no as a boot argument --> no good. - Recompile the kernel with "NO_HZ" --> even worse (this is the current state). I will recompile again to undo. And more things I forgot, but you can read the whole story in the mail list or the link above. Sometimes, very random, the system stops completely and does not respond to keyboard, but it awakes when I boot another PC, which I think tries to connect or ask for a service (ntp or dns). My current hack is to leave my router continuously pinging me. My guess is that the pings cause the network card to interrupt the kernel, so it keeps awake. Keyboard or mouse also provokes interrupts. I'm not sure about usb activity. This might be related to other bugs reported by me, I don't know (spamd timeout?) I have been "playing" with the clock (Bug 344356 and a new one not reported yet). The thing is that the kernel defaults to using "acpi_pm" clock and this one misses whole minutes. I have to force use "tsc" (which kernel disabled at boot). jiffies crashes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
