Hi everyone, I made a utility tool for dm-ioband version 0.0.4, named iobandctl. It enables you to easily apply I/O bandwidth control to an entire disk, and manage it. It helps you set the percentage of bandwidth to give each partition, and each user, process, group, or cgroup.

Hi all (and developers in particular) I just got bitten by this Assertion. The one that starts as in the subject, and ends with: "!(((jh2bh(jh))->b_state & (1UL << BH_Lock)) != 0)" Google reminds me that it was mentioned a few times earlier this year, but I couldn't find any statement saying that it has been fixed.

...ntoo and have compiled the 2.6.31 kernel, enabling btrfs. Now I have 2 partitions (on 2 different sata disks) that are free for me to play with, each about 375 gb in size.

...no bootloader Why is there no choice of 1st sector of root partition? or did I just miss it? I wanted to chainload the centos install, but that requires grub installed into 1st sector of root partition. So after the os install I used knoppix livecd to > grub root (hd1,4) # sdb5 is my centos partition setup (hd1,4) and centos now loads from a chainloader +1 in my grub partition So I have fixed it; but curious as to why the install dvd didn't give me the choice there.

...One thing I don't understand, when partitions are created, why does Linux number it awkwardly? For example, I created 1 Primary partition of 10% disk, then created 1 Extended partition of 90% disk. Inside that extended partition, I created 3 logical partitions 33% each. It went numbering sdb1, sdb5, sdb6 and sdb7. Where's the hell 2,3 and 4? Anyways, I've got my partitions now and formatted them so, it's all good. Thanks for your help with this. Next, as I went through Bacula's pages, I found that they mostly use tape drives for backup....ugh.......how can I use my usb partit...

Is it possible to install directly from a DVD iso image downloaded to a USB external drive as a file on a FAT filesystem? That is, if I burn the boot.iso on a CD and boot it, is there any way to mount the USB drive and install from the DVD image file there (some target machines don't have a DVD drive). -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

For example, running "e2fsck -p /dev/sdb5" on a 250GB partition on this disk took over 24 hours to complete, as it did on another partition.
