Subject: How to tune pdflush?
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2004 16:24:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <408EEBAF.7020603@fastclick.com> (raw)

I would like to tune pdflush so the writeback isn't too greedy, right 
now the system is unusable due to high disk I/O after creating a bunch 
of files. I know, faster disks would be better.. Tuning the writeback 
would also be a nice option, we had it in 2.4 with /proc/sys/vm/bdflush.


Thanks,

Brett
