Raw Blame History

Next Steps - 2026-04-02

Immediate (Post-Reboot - GXA7801Q Firmware Activation)

NVMe firmware GXA7801Q was applied 2026-04-02 but requires reboot to activate. Run sudo reboot when ready.

Reboot workstation to activate NVMe firmware GXA7801Q
Verify firmware: nvme list should show GXA7801Q (was GXA7401Q)
Check SMART health post-update: sudo nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0n1

Run post-update fio benchmark (same parameters as pre-update):

fio --directory=/tmp --name=seq-read --rw=read --bs=4k --iodepth=32 \
  --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --size=1g --runtime=30 --time_based

Document before/after comparison in docs/tech/nvme-benchmark-post-gxa7801q.md
Update docs/tech/firmware-update-research.md status from "reboot pending" to "complete"

Short Term

Update linux-firmware and kernel packages: sudo pacman -Syu linux-firmware
Check NVIDIA driver version: pacman -Q nvidia
Run scripts/update-cli-suite.sh to sync CLI tool suite
Monitor system behavior under multi-day sustained load to ensure zswap and MGLRU keep the system responsive.
Verify that archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service failure is resolved or investigate further.

Optimization

Evaluate if systemd-oomd is aggressive enough for interactive desktop use; if not, consider testing earlyoom as an alternative.
Automate periodic S.M.A.R.T. checks via a systemd timer (currently manual).

Infrastructure

Consolidate Ansible variables for Docker memory limits into ansible/vars/main.yml.
Extend scripts/maintenance.sh to include a summary of the last 24h OOM events (if any).
