[uml-user] Sockets question

Yup, makes a vast difference. XFS + not using synchronize is almost as fast as using ubd as loopback on host. Says in help one shouldn't do this if one cares about the data in the UBD though. Exactly how dangerous is it? // Joel On Thu, 8 Dec 2005, Rob Landley wrote: On Thursday 08 Dec

Are there any general recommendations for making throughput on UBDs more efficient? Such as kernel settings, recommended filesystems..? Doing an "emerge sync" inside an uml raises iowait to 100% and load to 7, making the machine more or less inaccessible. Just wondering if it's me having bad s
