Description of problem:
cannot change nfract_stop_bdflush parameter in /proc/sys/vm/bdflush

We've tried both echoing value in and setting in rc.local and 
rebooting - neither works.  We are trying to tune vm settings in 
short term while we work on upgrade to AS 3.0.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.9-e.27enterprise #1 SMP Tue Aug 5 15:39:21

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.echo "40      128     512     2048    500     3000    80      
40       0" > /proc/sys/vm/bdflush
2. more /proc/sys/vm/bdflush
3.
    

Actual Results:  more /proc/sys/vm/bdflush
40      128     512     2048    500     3000    80      0       0


Expected Results:  change to 40

the nfract_stop_bdflush parameter is not implemented for rhel2.1...is
there a good reason that we should add it?

Comment 3 Jason Baron 2004-11-04 20:32:21 UTC
No updates...closing.
