similar to: bug when creating /var/run/dovecot?

Has anyone ever mounted their /var/lib/mysql on a tmpfs or ramfs? Are there any performance gains to be made doing this? TIA

"to memory" means: mounting a ~2 GByte filesystem [ tmpfs?, or ramfs? ], and put the "/tmp" on it. [ e.g.: 4 GByte ram in the pc ]. what to write in the "/etc/fstab"? I would like to collect the [ answers too:P ]: Advantages: - Memory is way faster then HDD/SSD, so it could speed things up - "SSD amortization" is less Disadvantages: - Security?

Hello, I was using a bunch of cpios in initramfs as a working system, and wondering why the unused files weren't being paged out to swap. So I reread ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt and now I know. So I wrote the attached utility. It creates a tmpfs, moves all files on the initramfs, moves / and executes the real init. It works, even with hardlinks, but it isn't the correct approach. Have

In v1.0 .. v1.1 deliver was writing incoming >128k mail to /tmp file (to avoid reading it all into memory). In v1.2 I moved it to user's home directory. This slowed deliveries for NFS users. Also people with filesystem quota had trouble since now user required twice as much available quota to save a message. The FS quota problem was "solved" by having quota-fs plugin change the

Hi, I am a newbie into kernel booting process. I have read few things about boot process of the linux kernel. I am stuck at few things, which I am confident, someone from the list might help on - - If I pass a ramfs image as an intrd paramter from the bootloader (say grub), then will the kernel treat this as a ramfs image only? - initrd image is also, packed using cpio archive, then

Hi, everybody! My pxelinux.0/default file is: LABEL linux KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.16 APPEND initrd=initrd-2.6.16.img root=192.168.4.110:/clients/192.168.4.100/root When mounting I get: switchroot: mount failed: 22 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted tp kill init! Before it I get some messages about: Can't find /dev/console. /clients/192.168.4.100/root/dev was empty. I've copied my

I'm not sure when exactly this started, but currently when I specify a ramfs image via the initrd line in grub, kinit picks it up as an initrd and tries (and fails) to unpack it and run linuxrc from it. I'm assuming this is not the intended behavior. Can anyone point me into the proper direction for unpacking an initramfs image ontop of the in-kernel image? Currently, I am using kernel

Hi, just out of curiosity: Within a kickstart postinstall script, I tried to do a loop mount, which failed. It turns out that there is no /dev/loop0 (no /dev/loop<x>). After creating it with mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0 everything works fine. Now this script executes in the chroot system. This is the system on the hd. A plain chroot system should not have any /dev or /proc mounted. But

Hi Al, Here's a set of patches that: (1) Provides a convenience member in struct fs_context that is OR'd into sb->s_iflags by sget_fc(). (2) Provides a convenience vfs_init_pseudo_fs_context() helper function for doing most of the work in mounting a pseudo filesystem. (3) Converts all the trivial filesystems that have no arguments to fs_context. (4) Converts

This is probably a known issue, but just in case. On my Desktop, I am running SELinux in Permissive mode. When I restart the system, or shut it down, I notice this message: "Stopping setroubleshootd failed". Notice at the end of the dmseg output below, regarding SELinux, there are three (3) identical lines. I don't know if that is normal or not. [lanny at dell2400 ~]$ dmesg |more

In recent months I started noticing a new type of log message. Here are some examples. One of each but my logs show many runs of these types of messages. Along with others but these are the majority type. Imagine lines like these repeated many times in the syslog.

Harcoding default content of initramfs in the gen_initramfs_list.sh script seems ackward. Move it to a file named: usr/initramfs.default This also fixes a small bug when no arguments was passed to CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE (-d was passed twice to the script) Idea and bug report from: "H.

hello, Preparing my first klibc maintainenace release. :) My plan is to have the patches cook in klibc-queue and once everythings is fine deploy them in the main klibc repo. Please test/review belows patches. I plan to release the current queue really soon for klibc 1.5.20 due to the urgent ipconfig fixes. For now you find my patch queue on:

Generate dependencies almost like done by fixdep in the kernel. This teaches make to rebuild cpio image when content has changed. Also restructured usr/Kbuild a little so we better utilise parallel makes (dash, gzip, utils and kinit are now build in parallel). Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> --- patch is on top of hpa's linux tree, so path differ if applied to the klibc

Hi All, Long time no chat ;-) Asterisk 1.0.9 (sometimes) won't authenticate IAX phones after re-boot of SuSE 9.3 box I've traced the problem to be with the firewall and the fact that I have 2 NICs in the box. Now that I have opened port 4569 on both interfaces, asterisk seems happy *but* does anyone know how to force SuSE 9.3 to always bring up a specific NIC before the otherone? On
