100% agreed. Only 3 options are remotely acceptable to me (as I understand
it so far),
1. Change the default value (in fedora)
2. Change the value on a per-spin basis
3. allow installer/anaconda to set this (and other related items)
Seems 1 isn't going to happen, based on the feedback here so far. 3 seems
the best long-term solution, but likely not implementable for f14. Will
probably go with 2 in the short-term.
Rex, if you do decide to change it in sysctl lets try to keep it
within
a factor of 10 or so?
That's better than nothing.
Anything this it worth considering different values here depending on
available ram and/or %__isa_bits (or some other boot/run time query'able
factor)?
You might want to ask the upstream kernel
community what they think.
Good point, will do.
