mmm, the progress.com website seems to advise against data=writeback
<freemangordon>
sure, but what is the context - "Product: MarkLogic"
<freemangordon>
we're not making server OS here :)

freemangordon: try that data=writeback yourself ... seems to not be working correctly. at least it sent me to recovery login

sicelo: yeah I think it's searching for wifi all the time
<Wizzup>
the main effect of the patch it as I understand it that it doesn't 'give up' on connecting
<Wizzup>
this works around the kernel/firmware issues where it sometimes rejects the association, but it also has this effect
<Wizzup>
freemangordon: this writeback is mostly for writes yeah, not for reads?
<Wizzup>
I am not sure if disabling journalling is a good idea

<sicelo>
i wouldn't mind the writeback that much myself, if it would boot :-)
<Wizzup>
I don't think disabling journalling is a good idea tbh, especially on devices that run on battery
<Wizzup>
you probably have to remove the journalling bit or something
<Wizzup>
and run fsck
<Wizzup>
see the wiki that fmg linked, it has like 3-4 steps
<Wizzup>
but again, they're trying to optimise for writing 40 fps 1080p video

disabeling journalling on a battery powered and genneraly pretty unstable platform is a terrible idea imo
<uvos__>
i also like my atime, but i can see disableing this

wait, where did you find that data=writeback means journaling is comp[letely disabled?
<Wizzup>
the links you sent say it
<freemangordon>
hmm, I think they say something else
<Wizzup>
The optimization consists on selecting the data mode for our fileystem as data=writeback. The other two possible data modes (data=ordered and data=journal) do not have as good of bandwidth performance as writeback. The EXT4 journaling is disabled when using writeback. For details on the attributes of the various EXT4 data modes, read the "Data Mode" section from the Ext4 Filesystem kernel
<Wizzup>
documentation.
<freemangordon>
sec
<freemangordon>
"Data ordering is not preserved, data may be written into the main file system after its metadata has been committed to the journal."
<freemangordon>
still takes lots of memory (even more that by default) and takes ages to load

thanks :)

I'll finish some work things and then build/test it
<sicelo>
thanks.
<sicelo>
let us know if you end up with magic smoke ;-)
<sicelo>
but yeah, i've been running this for weeks now - on D4 while the battery was still working a bit, and on both my N900, the one which charges normally (thus reports normally), and also on the one with broken USB (thus always 0%)

Wizzup: with everything QT unset, and MESA SW, it is still ~75MiB
<freemangordon>
calculator uses 65 MiB
<freemangordon>
that's not normal
<freemangordon>
will make a minimalistic qt app when I have time

<Wizzup>
I don't know :)
<Wizzup>
not planning any major disruption, maybe keep it there, maybe mirror, maybe redirect

sicelo: just rebooted after upgrading, looks like there's still some reboot thing going on
<Wizzup>
but the battery applet showed the battery at ~30% or so, basin on how green-filled the battery weas
<Wizzup>
before I rebooted the device was at 87%
<sicelo>
mmm,
<sicelo>
share /sys/class/power_supply/battery whenever you can, and `upower -d`
<sicelo>
as for 0% ... is it reporting it while you're charging? i disabled percentage estimation while charging, because it over-estimates. when you disconnect charger, it should resume estimating
<sicelo>
as for 87% sounds like it was estimating indeed .. but should have been 82%, or it was 57%? it was clearly not directly from UPower, since your battery isn't reporting any percentage
<Wizzup>
sicelo: is that the latest leste-config?
<Wizzup>
did you pull from daedalus-devel?

manual download from maedevu, because i wanted to be 100% sure that i'm not looking at any customization i might have locally
<sicelo>
and yes, according to changelog, 1.132 is the latest leste-config
<Wizzup>
I must have forgotten to commit something in git
<Wizzup>
yeah...
<Wizzup>
lol
<Wizzup>
I am off my game recently :)

I did rename the file, but with 'mv' and not 'git mv'

yes i saw. is your device fixed now? reporting is still 0%?
