Hello, I tried to recompile trafficserver, linking libhwloc on Debian Wheezy and faced following issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-1842
Which, unfortunately, has been closed as duplicate. My solution is to add @hwloc_LIBS@ into few Makefile.am files as described in joined patch. Of course I would like to contribute my (very little) patch and wonder which is the best solution: 1. re-open TS-1842 2. open a new issue For the patch, I'll create a branch on my github fork a ask for PR Any advice appreciated, Jean-Baptiste On 15/06/2014 22:32, jtomo...@yahoo.com.INVALID wrote: > Hi Baptiste, sorry my late return for your issue. > > I suggest some environment and software settings, considering 4GB of RAM and > 4 CPU threads: > > 1- check if ATS is linked with libhwloc library (ldd bin/traffic_server | > grep libhwloc) if not, recompile using it > > 2- remove irqbalance (for Ubuntu distro: sudo apt-get purge irqbalance) > > 3- reserve the last core (CPU3) to disk IRQs.
