On the one hand, it does increase write speed and the SD card is used more consolidated then with smaller high frequent IO. If 50% free memory is used with written pages, a background tasks starts to write the data to disk. At 80% the system starts to do "blocking writes", which is more like a "hanging" task. | - (Kernel) ''vm.dirty_background_ratio = 50'' & ''vm.dirty_ratio = 80''.

| + | ====== Building a custom images ====== | ||
| + | The generated images are automatically build by a build chain. You can find it on the corresponding Github repository [[https://github.com/PirateBox-Dev/arch_rpi_image_prepare|arch_rpi_image_prepare]]. The image is prepared via a Makefile following the [[https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/broadcom/raspberry-pi-3|original steps]]. The customization is done with the scripts in the "chroot"-folder. These contain the following steps: | ||
| + | * Enable sudo for user alarm. | ||
| + | * Install needed packages and build needed aur packages. | ||
| + | * Deploy PirateBoxScripts and Change some minor OS parts to let it work. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The PirateBox service is **started by an udev rule**, which triggers after an USB wifi stick is recognized. Since 1.1.3 it does only trigger once, if two wifi cards are available. For further details, have a look into the repository or ask in the PirateBox forum. | ||
