DL140G2 + RHEL4 + SW RAID = system load never 0?

[Ray Van Dolson]

I'll probably do some more testing this evening but will definitely put together a summary of my changes -- or at least the kernel config I am using.

I still want to test if these changes have the same effect on my stock Red Hat kernel if I rebuild it.

And yeah, sorry I need to remember to use the points system on here :-)

Well, just a follow-up. The issue actually hasn't completely gone away -- even with 2.6.16 like I thought it had.

There seem to be an excessively high number of interrupts (1000/sec to the IO-APIC timer vs 100/sec on a production DL140G1).

I've posted about this on the Red Hat mailing list:
