Hi, guys, I have a small question about
/proc/sys/vm/bdflush . I am working on a SMP machine.
The kernel version is 2.4.18. I want to modify the
content of /proc/sys/vm/bdflush. But once I modify the
content, it will go back to the default value after I
reboot the OS. Is there a way by which I can
permanently change the content of this file? The OS
keeps the default value in somewhere?
Thanks in advance.

Set the value in an init script.

Either change the default in the source and recompile your kernel, or
set it at boot in /etc/rc.local.
