Subject: reducing max segments expected to work?
Date: Wed, 11 May 2005 17:47:49 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050511214749.GA14072@kvack.org> (raw)
Hello Jens et al,
Is reducing the max number of segments in the block layer supposed to
work (as done in the patch below), or should i be sticking to mucking
with MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS? I seem to get a kernel thatt cannot boot with
the below patch applied, and was wondering if you're aware of any
problems in this area. I'll probably post something more detailed
tomorrow after trying a few things.
