I created a droplet with centos 7. In order to let MMS (mms.mongodb.com) manage my mongodb without warning about THP, I did following:
edit /etc/default/grub to add transparent_hugepage=never
to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
run grub2-mkconfig
systemctl stop tuned
systemctl disable tuned
reboot
after reboot I check it with cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
. Still get [always]. Seems some other services enable it.
How can I permanently disable THP? I also want to disable THP defrag
I don’t want to do it in rc.local
as it runs after other services including mongod which will be installed later by MMS.
I don’t want to say goodbye to DO and return to AWS

As mentioned in the blogpost linked by markfinkelstein, at DO we add this to
rc.local
:Though if you need to do it another way, the MongoDB documentation provides an init script for this. Of course you could adapt that into a systemd service file, but as systemd can handle legacy init scripts, this is a good cross platform alternative.
