Hi again.

(I know from your more recent email that you already know the answer to this, but others might be interested so I'll reply anyway).

Hi Rafael.

Hi Nigel,

Please find attached a slightly updated version of the patchset I sent
a few months ago. The main change is that I've prepended and additional
patch which lets the user see the speed at which the image is being
read and written. This is accomplished by recording the MB/s in a
single byte in the image header, and using a couple of __nosavedata
variables to get the data back through the atomic restore. I realise
the char limits us to 255MB/s at the moment. In future patches, I
intend to address this by storing the data in a 'proper' image header
(it's a real problem - TuxOnIce reads and writes on the same set up at
speeds around 250MB/s).

I like to help by testing these. Is it sufficient to check out your latest
tuxonice tree, checkout branch for-rafael and switch the hibernate script
to TryMethod disk.conf?

Yes, that should be sufficient. You do need to be aware (as I said in the other reply) that I'm treating this branch like a temporary branch, so it's getting rebased and having little modifications made to it. Pulling will therefore sometimes require the use of the force option.

Regards,

Nigel
