hd device remounted with commit=600
 

Hi everybody,
I'm using Slackware 14 on a laptop, with xfce as DE. I noticed that every time I start an X session, the option "commit=600" is added to the mount parameters specified in fstab for my root device. What is responsible of such a change? I experimented it when battery powered, I haven't tried on AC yet.

thanks a lot!!

Hi,

From the mount man...

"commit=nrsec
Sync all data and metadata every nrsec seconds. The default value is 5 seconds. Zero means default"

Have a look at this URL too

Hi,

thanks, but I know what that option does. What I don't know is which process (re)sets the mount options (remounting my root disc), adding commit as a parameter.
My defaults in fstab are:
defaults,noatime,discard (it's a ssd).
When I run xfce, they suddenly become
defaults,noatime,discard,commit=600

:)

It depends on /usr/lib64/pm-utils/power.d/journal-commit (from package pm-utils).
You can override it in e.g. /etc/pm/config.d/_my-sample-file_ with two entries:
"""
JOURNAL_COMMIT_TIME_AC=<value>
JOURNAL_COMMIT_TIME_BAT=<value>
"""

Hi! yes, that's definetly the culprit. Thanks a lot for your answer, I'll go messing around with pm-utils :)
