I started the reiser4 repacker two days ago, with very minimal system use since then (an hour or two a day of playing music and reading email). See below for my df and top. Thankfully, the kernel seems intelligent enough about memory management that once things other than Doom 3 start, they run reasonably smoothly, even video (must be that anticipatory IO scheduler). Three questions: When will it end? How can I kill it if I get sick of waiting? Is it conceivable that the repacker could be optimized to run faster? $ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda5 184560092 158186648 26373444 86% / $ $ top top - 19:46:02 up 1 day, 23:24, 3 users, load average: 1.55, 1.25, 1.09 Tasks: 65 total, 2 running, 63 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.3% us, 25.6% sy, 0.0% ni, 38.5% id, 35.2% wa, 0.3% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 516608k total, 487660k used, 28948k free, 0k buffers Swap: 995988k total, 41844k used, 954144k free, 383936k cached ~ PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND ~ 9010 root 20 0 0 0 0 D 25.0 0.0 570:37.54 k_reiser4_repac ~ 6914 aaron 20 0 2864 1172 2500 S 0.3 0.2 1:49.04 famd 31318 sanity 20 0 3444 1684 3092 R 0.3 0.3 0:00.03 aterm ~ 1 root 20 0 1332 404 1180 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.86 init ~ 2 root 39 19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 ksoftirqd/0 ~ 3 root 10 -10 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.43 events/0 ~ 4 root 10 -10 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 khelper ~ 5 root 10 -10 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kblockd/0 ~ 31 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:09.81 kapmd ~ 36 root 10 -10 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 aio/0 ~ 35 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:10.46 kswapd0 ~ 126 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kseriod ~ 128 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.75 ktxnmgrd:hda5:w ~ 129 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:02.69 ent:hda5. ~ 318 root 10 -10 1312 292 1164 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.05 udevd ~ 4988 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.06 khubd ~ 6049 root 20 0 1656 524 1228 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.07 metalog -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBQX7ygHgHNmZLgCUhAQINZg/+Otv/jDcUwhCpQ3obc+Mr//LN4NKbhX/0 cnO5CtSZ/QMaM2rgBUPz4VSYYH4SyRwHqjQ8n8Q9iPUeijNdMpzSytiFBksgPBgS JBlKR34FLQaahkTm++kf9dJYj/kUNPQWQT1X0i4iet/P2wxd8VeOSrgulxcTPBVH nbI0l02fcexSCqDez+dJQ1J7ETfbKjKIVWgPVklHuEE/CQ973lX2PBPCcMkKzV3G w1AGL4Vxl5Sw+se6KjMFY2hFpoYnY5MMojrYfwULekoDj25e7gSh0fpBBheyRjd7 7y284urNPe8elcFmvVq9IclNYcNqpFVwC3/QNZLymEijlHaEHLjiMH14HMzukRSM mSns/Dk9QM6A1C+r6DRj4rvRA7oFK+ajqI3xJ+qJMJJzysCsCCshBrh/M+x1jnaP tQOKZnAht+nm5SOM4qLOZJPg8ymp46GJOsBSB4aQ+8ZjF2xb5DHvuqGnC8f+Z7Wu DGKnCaqB/3qQB6wTgqgup9s4SKqMfTDGAmZINCccrSDAc9GFLePwcsBZVVkx4Oxw Bp+Kb+8mUS079iDFgJ1DlJ1AOLnUvwbSsWyReWyay8wNxlIqmCRjJU5ALUN4U5hu sBhSzhNwHczl79gWpz2NHd+wpXTWJkxlG9yTbW3kZ3BwH47JVjXmRzPqDEtDLN0K 4LkwfyGAxVk= =MyNE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
