Ah ok, so you need something like coreboot for it to be usable? I thought it was more akin to grub or systemd-boot....

[polarathene]

I don't have one myself yet. Michael does, perhaps he could do a new disk I/O scheduler article, I think it's been a while since the last one....

[polarathene]

? I think you misunderstood me.

The Samsung device is a different beast, it's great top tier product for it's area of storage. The Intel...

[polarathene]

MuQSS lacks support for cgroups, and the author has no intention in supporting them(I think because it conflicted with the scheduler?). So I'd doubt it'd...

[polarathene]

Have you tried BFQ with an Intel 900P/905P SSD? Do you know if there is any benefit from using BFQ on that kind of device? Or since the latency is so...

What makes U-Boot interesting to see on x86?

[polarathene]

Unless you want hybrid-sleep/hibernation?



What about when you cannot install more RAM? (ie hit the limit the motherboard supports)...

[polarathene]

How'd it go? I've heard that there can be some issues, especially with the USB storage? Though I wouldn't expect much from a $13 USB drive(stick?) either,...

[polarathene]

View the videos comments, it's explained that clearing caches had been used in an earlier experiment and made no difference(with this test), they just...

That should also apply to the RockPro64 too right? Same SoC afaik, not sure if there's more to it for also getting the u-boot support.

[polarathene]

The github link mentions some error "Failed to load latest commit information", presumably that's why the last commit is noted as June 2016?...

[polarathene]

Can you better define what reliable is meaning? I have experience with ThreadRipper 1950x which is their workstation line of CPUs, we had the RAM maxed...

[polarathene]

I wasn't bringing up ARM servers, but big.little configuration, where they have a SoC with a mix of higher frequency/powerful performance cores and lower...

[polarathene]

Can someone more familiar with server grade CPUs like EPYC explain why you might want those lower variants? Just for the higher memory capacity and PCIe...

[polarathene]

KDE uses the memory, it just doesn't report it as used in the system monitor app. Use `free` on terminal, look at buffer/cache, this is for caching stuff...

[polarathene]

Disagree. I've experienced a mac at work misbehave, kernel process kext or whatever it is was using GBs of RAM for some reason, and some other system...

[polarathene]

Apart from other reasons given that could cause it and make perfect sense. Another in this situation might very well be error logs? The browsers also...

[polarathene]

Swap just delays the issue. If you have enough swap and it's slow enough to not fill up and give you time to react because you're there at that point...

[polarathene]

Anyone know how GlusterFS compares to Ceph? Ceph afaik is equivalent or better option these days?
