&gt; Hi all,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I have a question about the tunables section. Why the changes from bad to<br>
&gt; good are not permanent?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I don&#39;t think it is something very hard to implement, the popular solution<br>
&gt; on the web is to create a text file with the appropriate commands and have<br>
&gt; it run every time in the login. I suspect that by making some of the changes<br>
&gt; permanent you are essentially changing kernel settings so possibly you run<br>
&gt; the risk of a broken kernel.<br>
<br>

the mailing list archives for the full rationale and discussion.<br>
<br>
Short answer: Your Linux distribution is supposed to properly tune<br>
your system for you. PowerTOP is not an end-user tool that you should<br>
be running every day.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
