Basically the option is just an optimized default for 1GB of RAM, like the 2G option is tailored for 2GB of low mem on a 2GB machine. The reason the option exists is of course to leave the default at the older not-so-great option for 1G of RAM. -- Jens Axboe - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
