Hi there: As suggested in the docs, I am forwarding a bug report. I have just converted two partitions to ext3 from ext2 without reformatting on my home box. All is not well, however. Here's the specs AMD K6/2-3D 500 Mhz, 64MB SDRAM, 100 Mhz bus Via Apollo P5MPV3 chipset, 100 Mhz bus Opti Mad 16 931 soundcard Video= AGP S3 Trio, w/8MB RAM, PS/2 mouse. Realtek 8029 pci bus network card.

HI, I am trying to find out why an old slower machineis faster than a new faster machine. I have a RedHat 6.2 server installation, it runs samba and I have been very happy with it. Filesystem is:- [darryl@keg darryl]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda6 1.2G 735M 387M 66% / /dev/hda1 40M 3.0M 35M 8% /boot /dev/hdc1

we just purchase new I/O card and like to check I/O performance. for sequence I/O performance test we can use "hdparm -t /dev/xxx" bur for random I/O performance test which Linux command I can use? ** our environment does NOT allow install third party software.. Thanks

I need to disable the spin-down on an external USB drive because it spins down spontaneously while in use. The drive forgets the spindown-disable state across power outage so I need to reissue the hdparm command with each boot or hotplug. Where should I put the hdparm command to do this?

Hi there, I'm going mad at this: Asterisk with one HFC isdn card, using the zaptel driver "bristuff" All works ok, but voice coming in/out of the isdn card is out of sync, squelky and disrupted, UNTIL I PUT SOME LOAD TO THE PC, let say launching xwindows. I noticed this: Strong HDD activity = voice is good HDD doing nothing = voice is not good I suppose this could be an

We run several RH7.2/7.3 servers & recently 2 of them, although still working fine, have started to show kjournald as generally using over 50% cpu% on 'top' - virtually continuously. Free cpu% generally less than 25% now! Both machines are also using software RAID5 EIDE ....... otherwise are standard server installs. Any info on what kjournald is & why it should have recently

I'd like to to put the hard drives in standby mode during periods of no activity. I'm just running a file server plus a couple small things on a Qube 3 from home, although the web stuff will increase it's still minimal. On my NetBSD systems I can use atactl to do this via: mount -u -o async,noatime,nodevmtime / mount -u -o async,noatime /usr atactl wd0 setidle 5 [wait a time]

Though quiet at the moment, my desktop sometimes sometimes makes a noise that I attribute to either a disk or a fan on its last legs. I'm looking for suggestions for distinguishing. For the disk, I expect I should use either hdparm of fsck. Even after reading the man page, I'm not sure how I would use hdparm. If I use fsck, what should I take as evidence of a bad drive? A good drive? Is

Hi all, When I ran the experiments to compare an application''s execution time in both a domU (named cctest1) and a native Linux machine (named ccn10), I noticed the application executes faster in domU. The host of the domU (named ccn9) and ccn10 are two nodes of a cluster and they have same hardware configurations. domU (cctest1) is created by exporting loopback files from dom0 on

I grabbed a new SSD M4-CT064M4SSD2 from Crucial. I am disappointed. I stuck the unit in an Atom machine (zotac) with CentOS 6 on the disk. It really doesn't "feel" faster than the previous 5400 RPM drive that was in it. The SSD is giving me (in the zotac running centos 6): hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 298 MB in 3.00 seconds = 99.30 MB/sec The

I upgraded my Centos 4.7 server last night. Switched from a cheaper 50$ asus motherboard to a Supermicro motherboard. I also, using dd, copied entire 500g SATA seagate drive to new 500g SATA seagate drive so as to have two copies in case something went wrong. Anyway, now I keep getting this error: Nov 21 06:08:33 server kernel: hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Nov 21 06:08:33 server

Hello friends, I am trying to test NAS I/O performance over a network and trying to see the numbers for write and read speed. I have successfully configured and ran a lot of tests. However the numbers have not increased, I have reached a bottleneck. I tried playing around with the smb.conf file including all possible variations like, socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=(tried values like

Hi, I was wanting to run the equivalent of "hdparm -Tt /dev/hda" except on a SATA hard disk. What is the equivalent command for an SATA drive? I was wanting to see what kind of speed I am getting on the SATA drive. thanks, Jerry
