SMP with hyperthreading CPU (5.3)?

2004-10-30 Thread Ewald Jenisch
Hi, I've got a 3GHz P4 system with hyperthreading enabled in the BIOS. For this system I've built a SMP-kernel (kernel config-file "SMP" that comes with 5.3). However SMP doesn't seem to be enabled - at least I don't seen the usual messages like "CPU ... launched" that's common with SMP configura

swap partition encryption

Dear All, I've succeeded in creating an encrypted partition using gbde. I followed the directions in the FBSD Handbook which, among other things, states: Unlike cumbersome encryption methods that encrypt only individual files, gbde transparently encrypts entire file systems. No cleartext

throttling cpu speed to run cooler

2004-10-30 Thread Robert Storey
Dear All, I've been looking for a utility to reduce cpu speed to make my laptop run cooler. Ideally, it should reduce cpu speed to about 20% when speed is not needed, and restore speed to 100% when the load requires it. There is such a utility for Linux, called powernowd: http://www.deater.net/j
