I found what proceses to shutdown, mainly those that do things from time to time, like the MTA. then I send a STOP signal to kupdated. so far, so good. that works. then I switched to ext3 and kjournald started to appear on the processes list. and it commits the transactions very often. I know I can set the commit interval to a high value, but both I don't know exactly how, and I think that it's not the solution I need. sending STOP signals to kjournald doesn't work, it seems to ignore them. what can I do? One thing I thought: how is this supposed to work on laptops? can they be suspended? a question related to this one: I also have ACPI turned on and APM turned off. how can I switch to stanby states? is there a way? again, how does it works on laptops? remember to cc to me. bye. -- "y, bueno, yo soy muy ilogico. lo que pasa es que ustedes me toman demasiado en serio" --JLB - 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/
