Hi, I need to run single application on a linux kernel so that I can get better performance. For that I used "init=/my_application" as kernel parameter This made sure that kernel will run only this application. As there are no other processes, my application gets most of the resources, and hence I am expecting that it will improve the performance. The problem comes when stopping the system. The only way to do it is by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL as CTRL+C does not work in that mode. Unfortunately, by using CTRL+ALT+DEL combination, Linux kernel does the unclean unmounting of root filesystem. This causes the file-system check on next boot time. :-( I want to know if there is any way by which I can run my application in single-user-mode and still I should be able to halt the kernel properly so that there is no need to run file-system check on next boot. I am using kernel Linux 2.6.23 and my root file-system is EXT2. Please let me know if there is any way by which I can stop unclean unmounting in this case. -- Thanx and Regards, Pravin Shinde -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
