Package: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686 Version: 2.6.18-2 Severity: wishlist
Is there a plan to enable the cpuset feature in the kernel? (This is the CONFIG_CPUSETS tag in the configuration file.) We are using this feature on each nodes of our clusters (~5000 cpus). It permits : - to restrict processes on a subset of cpus, - to restrict processes on a certain amount of memory (and physical addresses), - to keep the list of all children of a process (even if a process forks and is detached from its father). So this is very usefull in our cluster context to give a part of a computer to a user and another one to another user (we can do that with xen or another VM but it is too slow for a HPC usage). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-1-686 depends on: ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.82 tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.2.2-3 tools for managing Linux kernel mo Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-1-686 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.3.6.ds1-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.18-1-686: shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.18-1-686: false linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/initrd-2.6.18-1-686: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.18-1-686: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/already-running-this-2.6.18-1-686: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.18-1-686: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.18-1-686: false linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.18-1-686: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.18-1-686: true * linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.18-1-686: false linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/abort-install-2.6.18-1-686: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
