Hello all, I have 2 identical Dell r510 servers with 10gig card, running centos 6 with samba-3.5.4-68.el6_0.2.x86_64. I setup 16G ramdisk samba share on both and ran cp from local ramdisk to samba ramdisk mount. If I cp 12 1-gig files, I get combined 100MB/s transfer rate. Single file cp maxes out at about 15MB/s. Ftp transfer give me over 300MB/s. Running with 9000 MTU. Most smb.conf is

Hi! Some bootloaders (eg. syslinux) have to ability to load multiple ramdisks, effectively concatenating them. This makes it very easy to augment ramdisks, like eg. customizing an installer. Can I do something similar with XEN? Separating the ramdisk cpio arhives with commas in the config file didn''t work... -- Thanks, Feri. ____________________________________...

Hello, I have a problem with a 2.5.62 kernel and ramdisk. I am using isolinux to create a cd that loads some of its partition in ramdisk. The script involves mounting a ramdisk (e2fs) on /fake/ramdisk, copying part of the cd to that mount point, unmounting it, and remounting it on /fake/needwrite. The problem is that, although the content of /fake/needwrite gets correctly copied, the content of

I?ve got a 512M machine and a 330M ( uncompressed ) initrd image. How can I mount the ramdisk? Normal booting seems to want to copy the entire initrd image into a Ramdisk, thus requiring 2X the memory. So what happens is the kernel boots correctly and I get, RAMDISK: ext2 filesystem found at block 0 RAMDISK: Loading 330000 blocks [ 1 disk ] into ram disk And then I never see the light of day after

Folks I'm having file-access problems in Apache 2.4 under Centos 7. In particular: - I have a file that's readable to every user and every application, (writeable by only one user), but my CGI scripts cannot read it. - Some of my CGI scripts need temporary storage for some files. They are, for example, some internal log files, tnat get cleaned up over time, but I want to be able to

Hi! I have problem with MEMDISK, because when I load modules in NW Client32 using NIOS.EXE commands, computer is restarted :-( Not everytime, but manytimes. The problem is with MSDOS 5.0, 6.22 and FreeDOS too. But when I create in DOS another RAMDISK and copy all data from MEMDISK to new RAMDISK and change settings and PATH to new ramdisk, all work fine. Directly from floppy or from

...to make our own NFSroot via PXELINUX without the e1000 ethernet module compiled into the kernel. All works fine, we have a ramdisk that can setup networking from information provided by $ip, however I would like to download the specific e1000.o via tftp before inserting it into to the kernel. Since ramdisks are static I rather not have the situation where we have to recreate the ramdisk everytime we install a new kernel. So the question is: can I download via tftp the Ethernet module using the same or similar mechanism provided in PXE while being in the ramdisk? We use busybox in our ramdisk, so we ha...

Hi, I've been using PxeLinux to boot our Debian kernel successfully for some time now. I recently increased the size of the ramdisk from about 484 MBs to 517 MBs and encountered the following error during bootup: --- RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 Freeing initrd memory: 105519k EXT3-fs: Magic mismatch, very weird! cramfs: wrong magic sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find

I'm having loads of problems with recordings, as in crappy audio quality and lost pieces of the recordings. I've been searching for a solution and the solutions i find on the interwebs include a ramdisk, for local recording, or another machine, handling the recording. I guess the ramdisk would be the "easy" solution and the external machine would be little harder to set up. I do

I'm still running CentOS 5 with Xen. We recently replaced a virtual host system board with an Intel S1400FP4, so the host went from a 4 core Xeon with 32G RAM to a 6 core Xeon with 48G RAM, max 96G. The drives are SSD. I was recently asked to move an InterBase server from Windows 7 to Windows Server. The database is 30G. I'm speculating that if I put the database on a 35G

First I'd like to thank you, and everyone who has contributed to the isolinux development. It has been the solution to many of my development needs. Currently I am creating a Linux system that runs directly from CD. Currently the CD is working and I am using isolinux to boot the CD. The compressed kernel is approximately 2 meg and the compressed initial ramdisk is approximately 4 meg.

Hello, maybe I''m stupid but I find no way to have the kernel in Dom0 instead of DomU for Centos 5. Here is what I did: Regular Centos 5 Dom0 install, then creating a LVM group (vms) and install DomU with virt-install works perfectly: virt-install --p --location=http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/os/i386 --file=/dev/vms/centos5_data --name=centos5 --ram=512 --nographics I get a

On Centos 4.x 32 I want to create like a 64Mbyte ramdisk. Is there a problem putting 30k to 80k empty files on a ramdisk? Is there a simple howto on creating a ramdisk that anyone knows of off the top of there head? Matt

This patch (against unstable) makes sure that the skel/etc/init.d/rcS file is executable before building the final ramdisk image. This should fix the problem some people are having with their ramdisk builds. -- Dan Smith IBM Linux Technology Center Open Hypervisor Team email: danms@us.ibm.com _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list

Hello! I'd like to load a ramdisk with syslinux, but from another disk. And I've found this in the syslinux faq: "An initrd is loaded from a DOS file if the option "initrd=filename" (where filename is the filename of the initrd image; the file must be located in the root directory on the boot floppy)"

I'm supporting a number of consumer devices (e.g. small NAS devices) in Debian. They typically don't export the serial console and don't have any other output devices. We perform the installation via SSH on such devices and start SSH automatically when the system boots so people can login. This works pretty well but sometimes a device stops to boot for no good reason. This is

Greetings, Before I get slammed, I've looked all over the internet for the answer to this (googled and more) and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. Here's what I need. I have a server that I use to hold workstation images. I use a Linux boot CD combined with some scripts I wrote and some disk imaging software to allow me to image windows workstations. Anyway, when
