A long-term support version of linux-pf is out there. See linux-pf-lts for more information.

Oh, thanks! I also didn't notice that repo name changed to Linux-pf, so couldn't access it from pacman too.

Yeah I want to clarify the name, but I'll add other packages too like firefox-kde-opensuse (with unity-menubar and libnotify patch)

I updated this new Repo address to the Wiki, in both the "Unofficial_user_repositories", and the "Linux-pf" pages.

Does anyone know what's going on with the repositories? They haven't been updated since May and 4.0.4-1 is giving me freezing problems.

In my case, a general lack of time. You can use [archlinuxcn]'s package which is at 4.0.6 or compile one yourself, it's a really straight-forward procedure.

MisterAnderson · 2015-07-11 05:19:26

Thanks, I didn't know archlinuxcn had linux-pf. It's not listed on the wiki page.

EDIT: It is now. I clarified it a little as well because Linux-pf wasn't clearly listed either.

Sorry for the delay see here [1] whats the issue with linux-pf currently:

BFS issue is said to be fixed:

@PF Could you, by the way, update linux-pf-lts? I've been adding the incremental patches to the PKGBUILD since 3.14.28 or so without errors. Cheers!

sadly I get the same issue however I'll update the pkg.

post-factum · 2015-09-15 20:25:17

@nous, plz, check it here:

https://github.com/pfactum/pf-kernel/commits/pf-3.14

I've merged latest stable tree and latest BFQ available for 3.14. But you must test it as I just did the merge.

When could we expect 4.2 pf3 .deb binaries... ?
Also: http://77.244.44.75/debian/dists/testin … 4/?C=M;O=D doesn't work?
Thank You for great work for community...

Where does one get the tuxonice modules?

modprobe finds neither tuxonice_swap nor tuxonice_compress

They're probably built-in, check /proc/config.gz.

Does that mean I don't have to specify them for mkinitcpio (the wiki says explicitly to do so for linux-pf)?

EDIT: Yes, that is precisely what it means. The wiki may need to be updated.

It seems the default settings for linux-pf build these modules into the kernel, so they do not need to be added to MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf

I'm not being able to boot on the latest version of linux-pf with the nvidia-pf package that updated today. Was running fine on linux-pf until now.

Hey, quick question. I echo my I/O scheduler for any of my hard drives and return "noop [bfq]" and have no other options. I have a lot of trouble with BFQ. Is linux-pf missing support for CFQ and deadline?

EDIT: If I boot with "elevator=noop" everything works fine but with it on deadline or cfq I get warnings that they don't exist and the system picks bfq.

I'm on linux-pf-lts-3.14 on all my boxes, so I can't really check it, but you could zgrep IOSCHED /proc/config.gz and see which schedulers are available.

I get

CONFIG_IOSCHED_NOOP=y
CONFIG_IOSCHED_DEADLINE=m
CONFIG_IOSCHED_CFQ=m
CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=y
CONFIG_IOSCHED_BFQ=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_IOSCHED="bfq"

Don't know what "m" means. I haven't compiled a kernel myself.

EDIT: a quick google -> find "m" means compile as a loadable module -> set deadline via echo to /sys/block/sda/queue/schedule -> lsmod | grep deadline -> add "deadline_iosched" to MODULES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

Working good now, thanks.

'm' It means it is a loadable module, i.e. you can modprobe it, and it shows up in lsmod. 'y' means it is built into the kernel.

MisterAnderson · 2015-12-11 16:09:30

Although I'm happy to be using deadline now, with it being recommended for JFS, it turns out the SATA controller/ports on this motherboard are faulty, with the third and fourth ports randomly causing I/O errors. On the plus side, I know bfq works fine, and my USB3.0 4-bay hdd enclosure showed up in the mail so I'm running perfectly again.

EDIT: As usual I eat my recently posted words. Trying bfq on an ntfs-3g formatted drive ended up giving a full freeze again. Sigh.
