I read that XFS has problems with 4K Stack size for Linux on 32-bit systems. How did we address this in the centosplus kernel? Since what release of CentOS was this problem resolved? Is there a quick way to know what size the Linux stack is configured to be in a system's that's running? Thanks for your help. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/attachments/20080403/ef1fa777/attachment-0001.html>

It's not fixed in the Centosplus kernel, it's just not as much of a problem as it used to be. on x86 systems, the stack is still 4k. on x86_64 systems, it's 8k I believe. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

Since what > release of CentOS was this problem resolved?I just wanted to add that xfs has no special connection to the centosplus kernel. If you want xfs you pick up the kmod-xfs package (no need to change kernel).> Is there a quick way to know what size the Linux stack is configured to be > in a system's that's running?The only way I know of is to look at your kernels .config (typicall found at /boot/config-$(uname -r)). grep for 4KSTACK. If it's not set it's 8K (afaik). /Peter> Thanks for your help.-------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
