| |
I have a new RH6.0 system and everythng seems to be working great on it, but I am getting a thing that is causing me a little concern and I want to see if it is anything to be worried about.
THE SPECS: Dual PII-400 256MB ECC PC100 memory Adaptec 7980 SCSI Controller on motherboard 1 9.1GB Ultra2 SCSI Drive (Quantum) 1 Host Independent RAID Controller (UWSCSI) w/ 1 18GB RAID5 Array (3x 9.1GB) Kernel 2.2.10

I notice when I execute a "time <command>"m I end up seeing a lot of pagefaults in my output. It doesn't seem to be causing any problems but before I write it off as nothing I wanted to get an opinion here.
Here's the output from a kernel compile to give you an example:
[/usr/src/linux] # time make 266.88user 20.66system 4:47.87elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (-495975500major+15152975minor)pagefaults 0swaps
[/usr/src/linux] # time make -j 2 261.12user 19.01system 2:27.53elapsed 189%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (1538887856major+-51006598minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Anything that I need to concern myself with? I'd obviously rather not go down the road of returning memory or CPU if I can help it.
