[opensuse-kernel] Reliability test for hard drives and SSD
by Andrey Ponomarenko 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

Hi there! Good news for all interested in hardware compatibility and reliability. I've started a new project to estimate reliability of hard drives and SSD in real-life conditions based on the SMART data reports collected by Linux users in the Linux-Hardware.org database since 2014. The initial data (SMART reports), analysis methods and results are publicly shared in a new github repository: https://github.com/linuxhw/SMART. Everyone can contribute to the report by uploading probes of their computers by the hw-probe tool! The primary aim of the project is to find drives with longest "power on hours" and minimal number of errors. The following formula is used to measure reliability: Power_On_Hours / (1 + Number_Of_Errors), i.e. time to the first error/between errors. Please be careful when reading the results table. Pay attention not only to the rating, but also to the number of checked model samples. If rating is low, then look at the number of power-on days and number of errors occurred. New drive models will appear at the end of the rating table and will move to the top in the case of long error-free operation. Thanks to ROSA, openSUSE, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Arch, Fedora users and others who had made this work possible by contribution to the database! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Multiple mkinitrd's run during dup - why?
by Richard Brown 08 Jul '18

08 Jul '18

It's not the first time I've noticed this, but during my zypper dup today my system ran mkinitrd at least twice Once as part of installing kernel-default (in the %post install of that package) and once again as part of installing coreutils (in the %posttrans, using the %{?regenerate_initrd_posttrans} macro) If I understand correctly the whole point of the %{?regenerate_initrd_posttrans} macro is to prevent multiple runs of mkinitrd necessarily - so I guess my question is - why isn't the kernel using it? And would it be a good idea to consider it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Compiling KMP on OBS with retpoline
by Christof Hanke 28 Jun '18

28 Jun '18

Hi, I hope this is the right list. I am maintaining the package openafs on the OBS which contains a KMP. (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/filesystems/openafs) I was (locally) trying to insert "-mindirect-branch=thunk-extern -mindirect-branch-register" at various places and compiling with gcc-8. However, on loading the module the kernel always complains : " libafs: loading module not compiled with retpoline compiler." What is the correct way to compile an external KMP with the retpoline ? Many thanks, Christof -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org
