Hi, Are SQLite users that are worried about losing data that has been committed (fsynced) better off setting data=journal than data=ordered (or even data=writeback)? The context is trying to reduce the number of writes to a flash file-system without sacrificing data integrity in the event of a power failure or OS crash. Thanks, Dan Kennedy.

This may or may not be ext3 related but I am trying to find any pointers which might help me. I got a number of HP Proliant DL380 g5 with a P400 controller and also two qla2400 cards. The OS is RedHat EL4 U5 x86_64. Every time during reboot these systems panic after the last umount and I believe before the cciss driver is getting unloaded. The last messages I am able to see are: md: stopping

Hi all, I discovered lately that two of my XEN servers suffer from a really bad disk throughput - in domU as well as in dom0. All of them run Debian/Etch, Kernel 2.6.18-6-xen (orig. Debian) with XEN 3.2 (backported). The software versions seem to be ok for most machines: Lenovo A57 with S-ATA and (E8200, VT enabled): up to 90MB/s Shuttle, FB61 based, ATA-Disk (Celeron, no VT): up to

I have a system on which kjournald becomes blocked in D state quite often. Looking at a core file we have 5 mounted ext3 filesystems: crash> mount VFSMOUNT SUPERBLK TYPE DEVNAME DIRNAME 10037e07b00 10037e4ec00 rootfs rootfs / 10037e07ec0 10037e4e400 proc /proc /proc 10037e07d40 102188abc00 tmpfs

I have been trying to figure out whether I can enable write caching on my PATA hard drives (WD3200JB) and have fsync not return until data is safely on the platters. I am also running software raid. This is currently on FC5 (though soon to be FC6) with a 2.6.18 kernel. >From snippets I have found on the net, it looks like write barriers are pushed down through software raid when using raid 1.

Hi all, I am testing new kernel on a mips machine (64 bits for kernel, 32 bits userland) and I found a problem when mounting the root file system. It is an ext3 file system that is correctly mounted as read only. While booting the system remount the file system as read/write and keep starting all daemons. Moving from 2.6.26 to 2.6.30 kernel, I get this error while remounting the file system

Hi, I could not find this anywhere else reported, so here we go: creating a new btrfs filesystem (btrfs-progs-unstable from git) and mounting it succeeds, unmounting however fails with the kernel messages attached to this mail. After that, I can still read and write to the btrfs mount, but e.g. /bin/sync never finishes, sysrq-s never reports "Sync complete". I''m using a

All, We are encountering spurious errors with ext3. After some period of heavy IO we may see messages similiar to: EXT3-fs error (device cciss/c0d0p5) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted When this happens the filesystem is remounted read-only. If it's the root filesystem the system becomes unresponsive and must be rebooted. An fsck on the affected filesystem shows lots of corruption.

Basically I want to know if I can turn off full_page_writes in my postgres config. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/wal-reliability.html

Hi All, first time post so please excuse any blunders We are specifying two servers using supermicro X7DBE+ MB and want to add on a SAS controller for Raid 10. We want to use the CentOS 4.4 X86_64 distro. We are currently considering an Intel CC SRCSAS144E SAS Raid Controller for the servers using 4 Fujitsu 147 GB SAS HDD, and a Adaptec SASC RAID 4805 8-port for the server using 6 Fujitsu

Hello. When trying to sort a folder by thread (with pine4.61), I get a sig11. The mailstore is Maildir, indexes stored in /var/indexes/%u.

Dear Members, I am working with 6-dimensional Student-t distribution with 4 degrees of freedom truncated to [20; 60]. I have generated 100 000 samples from truncated multivariate Student-t distribution using rtmvt function from package ?tmvtnorm?. I have also calculated mean vector using equation (3) from attached pdf. The problem is, that after summing all elements in one column of rtmvt result

I downloaded 3.3.0 and tried compiling on Solaris 10 and got pretty far into the make before this message: Linking bin/smbd ./bin/libtdb.so: undefined reference to `write@SUNW_0.9' ./bin/libwbclient.so: undefined reference to `sleep@SUNW_0.7' ./bin/libtdb.so: undefined reference to `pread64@SUNW_1.4' ./bin/libtdb.so: undefined reference to `fcntl@SUNW_0.9' ./bin/libtalloc.so:

Dear OpenSSH developers, I was looking at the fail2ban project and had an idea that instead of parsing log files it could be possible to notify interested parties (like fail2ban) via (for instance) D-bus about a failed login attempt. Other application could also use this protocol to notify about suspect behaviors. A central functionality will allow for other (new) projects to integrate

Ralf Hildebrandt reported[0] the following messages on ext3-users: name_count maxed, losing inode data: dev=00:05, inode=5221 because the filesystem in question is indeed ext3. However, this warning is not generated by ext3 code but by the audit framework. While the origins of these messages are discussed elsewhere[1] the following patch modifies the printks in question so that users know

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

Hello. I am currently testing dovecot (0.99.10.8, Debian woody from backports), with the maildir storage. I have noticed that when I use the mailutil tool from uw-imap distribution to transfer my IMAP mailboxes from our current server (uw-imap, mbx format) to the dovecot one, the mails arrival time are apparently lost. I can see this in Pine, using the Arrival sort: the mailboxes on the

This novice coder roughly understands the difference between instance and local variables thanks to David Black''s excellent book, but I''m still unclear as to when and why a either is more desirable to use. In general, I use instance variables in my controller and local in my views, but I''m not sure as to why or if this is correct. Thanks Joe Kowalski
