kupdate

[Florian L. <Flo...@xg...>]

Hello,
I just subscriped to this list. Also I'm a newbie to linux. I hope you =
help me here.
Ok, I have a Redhat 7.1 System with kernel 2.4.2. I've choosen a server =
class installation because the computer should be a router for my =
homelan. Since the router is in my sleeping room I try to make it as =
silent as possible.
I downloaded noflushd_2.4.orig.tar.gz and compiled it as discribed in =
INSTALL and README. I let it start in the default runlevel 3.
First problem: while executing the startup script a error message says =
that kupdate was not found and I should run bdflush. A short look at the =
process listing (top) showed that there was a "kupdated" and no =
"kupdate" "bdsflush" was also running. Ok, I thought a typo or a change =
from Redhat and I changed all "kupdate" in the script to "kupdated". No =
more error message appears. But I'm not sure if noflushd is now working, =
I don't yet had the time to test it.
My 2 questions:
What do you think about the kupdate <> kupdate thing?
Shouldn't kupdated be stopped when noflushd is running. At my system =
nothing is stopped while it's running.
Thanks for your replies.
