Kernel (for 2.6) debugging or module debugging

kgdb is a kernel patch that, once applied, allows for the use of the familiar gdb interface for source-level debugging of a running Linux kernel.

The kgdb patch supplies the kernel with a debugging stub. This stub uses gdb remote serial/Ethernet protocol to communicate with gdb (host machine). This patch is applied to the kernel on the machine that will run the gdb session (host machine).

The gdbmod for module debugging, gdbmod version of gdb is required to debug modules that are loaded dynamically on to the testing machine.

If you know that the filesystem will be heavily used, then you can tune this process for Linux Samba. writing out dirty blocks to the disk until the filesystem buffer cache is 80 percent full (80). default is 40%, source = http://tldp.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3/chap29sec287.html by writing echo 80 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio I am getting around 2MB increase while write operation, tested in Xp. I have tried with this single option, as the ref source is for linux 2.2 and we are using 2.6 kernel. we can try out Linux General Optimization suggested at http://tldp.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3/gen-optim.html Tried with smb.conf, I am getting around 1MB gain while read and write. socket options = TCP_NODELAY I...
