similar to: best parameters for fixed-size files ?

Hi there, Sorry for the dup, here are more informations. I'll soon run RedHat4 U4 ES with multiple 4TB partitions made of a 7-disks RAID5 array. Almost all files on these partitions will have a fixed size of 32MB. Should I leave the default raid chunk size to 64k with ext3's 4k blocks ? What are the best tweaks around to optimize overall performance ? Thanks, Ionel -- Ionel GARDAIS

Hi, I have a doubt if I use the mke2fs option the right way. I formatted two different disks, one with $ mke2fs -b 4096 -E stride=16 -m 1 -T news /dev/sdd and the other with $ mke2fs -b 4096 -E stride=16 -m 1 -T largefile4 /dev/sde sdd is supposed to get files between 8k and 16k. sde will handle files with a fixed size of 32Mb. Then I tried this : $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mount-sdx/file bs=4k

Hi, I've a huge problem with Samba. It's the PDC of the school LAN. Clients are NTWS 4. Samba has been up and running for 11 days and now, since 2 days, force me to reboot the whole server everyday to work. I explain : when doing an "ps aux" or "smbstatus", i saw A LOT of "smbd -D" started for the same user 10 times in about 2 minutes. When I try to kill

Hi, I've set up a Samba server accessed by NTWS 4. When I do a "ps aux" on the server, i can see a line for each user connected with a "smbd -D" command. The owners of these commands are mostly root but sometimes the users themselves. How to force the owner of the command in order to be available to get a list of connected users with an "ps aux" and an

Hi, I've users connecting to a samba server via WinNTWS 4.0 (home directories are /home/%u) While workstations have both Windows and Linux installed, I want to allow users to connect to their /home directory when logging into Linux. Do you think it's better to automount the folders using an NFS mount or to use an SMBFS mount ? What are advantages and drawbacks of each methods ?

Thank you all for your answers. One told me that in order to allow the students to upload/download from their home directories, FTP or something like that is a simple and easy choice. As domain logon and roaming profil is not needed and FTP can be logged, I'll use this. Another question for our brillants candidates : How to batch the creation of a Samba account ? I mean, everytime you

Thunderbird is an absolute pig, taking hours to load my Dovecot IMAP. Claws-mail is good, but I have some problems with it. Alpine appears not to be ready for prime time to act as a window into IMAP. Same with the rest I've tried. SteveT On Tue, 24 Sep 2019 00:21:33 +0200 Ionel Spanachi <ionel.spanachi at hfg-karlsruhe.de> wrote: > Why not use thunderbird (or any other IMAP talking

This looks like a bug (ssh -v output from user included below). AUTH_FAIL_MAX is reached before all supported authentication methods are tried. One possible solution is to count authentication failures separately for each method tried, and disconnect if one fails more than <configurable> times. Btw: The exit status bug is fixed in the CVS version of OpenSSH, but I'm not very

Hi: How can I extract the dimension-names of a pre-defined element in a multidimensional array in R ? A toy example is provided below: I have a 4-dimensional array with each dimension having certain length. In the below example, "mydatastructure" explains the structure of my data. mydatastructure = array(0, dim=c(length(b),length(z),length(x),length(d)), dimnames=list(b,z,x,d)) where,

maybe some of the 3.4 beta discussion has covered this, i wasn't watching it too closely. what is going to be the process to convert a system from 3.3 to 3.4? will a simple yum update work? or do we have to do something more intentional to make it happen? how does redhat handle u3->u4 updates? i assume that since u4 has been published that security patches from rh will only apply to

Xen will not be in update 4. We are pushing towards integrating into Nevada sometime this summer. We''re actively working on getting another release out to OpenSolaris.

It''s been a ridiculously long time since our last release, and I

I have built a set of preview U4 beta rpms for CentOS i386 - these will become the basis of CentOS 3.4 when Rhel 3 U4 is released. I will not be pushing these out to the mirrors, but they are available at http://beta.caosity.org/centos/3.3/U4beta The beta packages are not signed. To add then to yum.conf add :- [u4beta] name=CentOS-$releasever - U4beta
