I have provided updated patches against [kx]ubuntu-7.10 (and updated patch source code) at: http://www.ucc.asn.au/~mccabedj/ccache/
These patches now do three things: 1) They use compcache-0.2. This fixes a crasher and provides stats at /proc/compcache and /proc/tlsf. 2) pagecache-managements scripts are included. "niceubiquity" can be run in place of ubiquity to have a more responsive system while installing. 3) atl2-2.0.4 is included, to fix bug 190340 See: http://code.google.com/p/compcache/ http://people.redhat.com/csnook/atl2/ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190340i - atl2.ko too old for Attansic L2 100 Mbit Ethernet Notes: 1) Can use cat /proc/swaps top etc. to test that compcache is actually running 2) The mouse seems jerky when compcache is active and we are installing files to hdd with ubiquity. niceubiquity (automatically added to cd) seems to fix that problem. niceubiquity could do with more testing. FYI niceubiquity is: nice ionice -n7 pagecache-management-lazy200.sh ubiquity 2b) the pagecache script limits the write buffer to 2MB. AFAICT this adds 20sec to a 20min install time, but should make system more responsive while installing. 3) Ubiquity on this LiveCD will install a pristine Ubuntu, without compcache etc. installed. If this is not desired the files can be manually copied over: /lib/modules/*.ko /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/net/atl2/atl2.ko /bin/pagecache-management* /bin/niceubiquity /etc/init.d/compcache -- John C.
