I'm installing openssl 0.9.5a and openssh 2.3.0p1 on an Ultra 5 running Solaris 8 with the latest cluster patch. Openssl installed without any problems. When I do a configure for openssh I get: Checking for OpenSSL directory. . . configure: error: Could not find working SSLeay / OpenSSL libraries, please install I've reinstalled openssl and everything is there. As a note I've

...oblem. I already googled and set set swapsync=sync set nofsync in my .exrc but that hasn't helped. Has anyone else seen this and do they have a work around? I'm about to switch to reiserfs and that's a lot of fuss for what should be a simple problem (I hope). Thanks, -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitkeeper.com

Dear ext3-users, I write scientific number-crunching codes which deal with large input and output files (Gb, tens of Gb, as much as hundreds of Gygabytes on occasions). Now there are these multi-core setups like Intel Core 2 Duo becoming available at a low cost. Disk I/O is one of the biggest bottlenecks. I would very much like to put to use the multiple processors to read or write in parallel

All, Trying to figure out how to deal with, I assume, a dying disk that's unfortunately on / (ext3).

At last year''s Xen North America Summit in Boston, I gave a talk about memory overcommitment in Xen. I showed that the basic mechanisms for moving memory between domains were already present in Xen and that, with a few scripts, it was possible to roughly load-balance memory between domains. During this effort, I discovered that "ballooning" had a lot of weaknesses, even though

I've had the chance to use a testsystem here and couldn't resist running a few benchmark programs on them: bonnie++, tiobench, dbench and a few generic ones (cp/rm/tar/etc...) on ext{234}, btrfs, jfs, ufs, xfs, zfs. All with standard mkfs/mount options and +noatime for all of them. Here are the results, no graphs - sorry: http://nerdbynature.de/benchmarks/v40z/2009-12-22/ Reiserfs

..., otherwise it would refuse to budge, but AFAICT it's working fine now. I suggest to downgrade the dependency in the spec file. -- Florin Andrei "You can get excited about just any subject if you study it enough. It's the deep knowledge that makes a topic interesting." - Larry McVoy

Next month I will move about 3000 clients (w2k) to a PDC samba, after that I will have more 1200 clients, but this time will be Linux, my question is: 1- Is there domain logon, like we have for Windows users ? 2- is smb the protocol recommended to FileShare to Linux clients or NFS is better (is there another one) ? -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

[ NOTE: I'm putting this off-topic thread back on the Ext3 list, temporarily, as I hope _someone_else_ can help this gentleman better than I have. With each response I get 10 more questions, 5 of them have already been answered and another 5 that utterly confuses me on what he is trying to accomplish, because he's changing his priorities (to often conflicting ones). ] "IT3 Stuart

hello everyone. i guess this has been asked before, but haven't found it in the faq. i have the following issue... it is not uncommon nowadays to have desktops with filesystems in the order of 500gb/1tb. now, my kubuntu (but other distros do the same) forces a fsck on ext3 every so often, no matter what. in the past it wasn't a big issue. but with sizes increasing so much, users are

Not sure if it''s been posted yet, my email is currently down... http://weblog.infoworld.com/yager/archives/2007/10/suns_zfs_is_clo.html Interesting piece. This is the second post from Yager that shows solaris in a pretty good light. I particularly like his closing comment: "If you haven''t checked out ZFS yet, do, because it will eventually become ubiquitously implemented
