I had to assemble a small machine for a customer serving as an Ethernet router on Friday. The customer gave us a VLB mainboard that didn't even survive the installation without jamming. So what, an Ethernet router is nothing where high performance counts. (In particular, this one only has a single Ethernet interface, since it's only responsible to collect routing protocol information, maintain its routing table, and throw ICMP redirects all over the place upon request.) We dug out an old 386-sx/25 mainboard, and after playing with a number of SIMMs had to realize that the only set of memory that will work without parity errors in this board was the original 4 x 1MB set. So with a totally stripped down kernel (albeit i consider removing the bloat for syscons, too, before it'll finally ship), i thought it might be a good idea to also stress-test the machine in order to see whether it is stable (which is highest priority for that box). I've started a global `make' (not `make world' to save some unnecessary parts of the build process) by Friday night 2200. This process is now running for 37 hours, and it ``already'' advanced to libg++. Surprisingly enough, interactive response is still pretty usable, considering its system load and general CPU slowness. :-) (I guess a full rebuild will last for more than 100 hours, but i have to abort the build process by Monday morning.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
