== Automatically reboot on kernel panic ==

Linux can automatically reboot after a kernel panic. The sysctl /proc/sys/kernel/panic controls this; 0 (default) disables the behavior, while any value greater than zero is the number of seconds to wait before reboot. This can be made persistent by setting in /etc/sysctl.conf:

{{{
kernel.panic = 5
}}}

Linux will wait 5 seconds before automatically rebooting.

== Compiling a single Linux kernel module ==

{{{#!highlight sh numbers=off
make -C /lib/modules/`unam e -r`/build M=`pwd`
}}}

== Disable IPv6 ==

Add ipv6.disable=1 as a kernel boot parameter.

== Empty disk cache ==

Forces the Linux kernel to discard/invalidate all disk caches.

{{{#!highlight sh numbers=off
sync
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
}}}
