Thread: [lc-devel] My first real test and my first real problem :-(

Hi all,
yesterday I run a script very similar at this:

#/bin/bash
cmd=${0##*/}
kern=$(uname -r)
log=${cmd}-${kern}.log
echo $log

date >$log
echo >>$log 

for i in `seq 20 20 400`;
do echo 'memory ' $i >>$log; 
time ./fillmem $i; 
cat /proc/comp_cache_stat >>$log; 
done 2>>$log

The difference are only related to the output.

No problem with a stock 2.4.17,
here it goes the result:

Then I applied the patch 0.21 (with 128MiB and 16MiB)

Please find attached the output of my script with 128MiB and 16MiB of
compressed cache,
as you can see there is something that is not working.

I had also a freez (non ALT+SYS RQ) under X.

do you have any suggestions?

In any case, I was not able to use correctly my machine under X,
segmentation faul using
 a lot of program.
