Hi,
What exactly are the implications of turning on CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM?
Does this lead to serious system degradation? I do see a message being
printed on the console during bootup, stating that heavy swapping could
take place, and it is a mistake to turn on this option. I also see a
comment in the code saying that this option is not implemented well. How
seriously will it affect a system thats not running too many processes?
Regards,
Naresh.
