As far as I know, noflushd or similar tools are deprecated and the 2.6 kernels should use "laptop mode" instead. To enable it, with a recent 2.6 kernel, just use: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode You may find other switches in that directory interesting to play with and you may even like to install a debian package called laptop-mode-tools and read the options that it offers and how it works. Recommended reading, IMHO.
