Name of sysctl paths

Posted Mar 16, 2009 9:30 UTC (Mon) by tarvin (subscriber, #4412)
Parent article: ext4 and data loss

On my Fedora 10 system, the involved sysctl paths are:

/proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
and
/proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs

I suppose there is a slight error in the article. Or is Fedora 10 nonstandard regarding this?

There was a slight error in the article, yes. Sorry for any confusion...
