Hi there, I've been using ext3 on RedHat 7.1 for some time and I'm very pleased with the result. Thanks for all the hard work people have put in it! I have however one problem: when the machine boots up it tries to load the mcd and mcdx CD-ROM drivers (AFAIK they are old non-standard CD-ROMs). It does this from rc.sysinit right after loading usb devices. The machine started to do

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.

Hi, Just thought I'd share some test results of mine in case anyone is interested. Basically the tests are siumulating what our product does with files - although the tests do it a lot quicker (not as many files though). The test is to create 1 million files (each containing the text of the file number) spread over a number of directories. The files are then removed in the same manner as

While investigating erratic performance on one our our servers, I'm getting some very odd performance stats coming from vmstat. What initially appeared to be happening is the machine goes into a hard loop in some mod_perl webserver code. Now there still may be an issue with the code, but my code examinations show no possible way this could be happening, but what I'm writing to you

Hi again, Is there any documenation on interfacing R with Fortran 90/95? Or a small example...? I'm mostly interested in passing matrices as dummy arrays in Fortran 95. For example, I would like to be able to call from R a routine having a declaration such as subroutine F(x,....) double, dimension(:,:), intent(inout) :: x ..... end subroutine F Does somebody have any experience in

When I copy a file(13Megs) from /home/ to /tmp/, sync takes almost 2 minutes. When I copy the same file to /usr/local/, sync returns almost right away. Both filesystems are ext3 and are on the same harddrive. When sync is running, the harddrive light stays on but I don't hear it doing anything. dmesg doesn't show any errors either. Below is the `time` output for each command. If you

Hi. I am using a large storage which is ext2 file system of 1T byte. It has many file types, doc, mail data, zip, etc. It doesn't have a database file. I want to change the file system from ext2 to ext3. It also can't divide to any partitions. How to decide journal mode and journal size? Please advice to me. Recommend a journal mode. (orderd or journal) Recommend a journal

Hello all We are running an Asterisk server using 24 extensions with an AB1 channel bank and a T1 digium card, plus a TDM400 with 4 fxo modules (using only modules 2,3,4). We have been using the pbx with this configuration for some time (asterisk 1.0rc1,1.0rc2). A few weeks ago we have installed a mirrored disk (raid 1) in this server and we have been having some problems with sporadic

Hi folks, I have an HP Proliant 140DL G2 server with what appears to be an IDE drive in non-DMA mode. Performance on the server is extremely bad when large amounts of disk activity is taking place. I think the problem is that my drive is not in DMA mode: # hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 0 (off)

I've Managed to over write my MBR and offcourse all my partions are gone (stupid me). i kept a backup of my MBR but silly me it's on the same disk that died. i have a rescue disk is there any way i can read from /dev/hda and go through the whole disk (RAW DATA) searching for "mbr backup file" and then read it. I am using EXT3 with slackware 8.1/RH 7.2 I am sorry my spelling is

Okay, I've been chasing performance for a while now. I have no idea if I should be trying to get better performance or if I'm getting all I can out of my hardware. Here is the information: /sbin/hdparm -I /dev/hdd /dev/hdd: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: ST328040A Serial Number: 7BY034XB Firmware Revision: 3.07 Standards:

I'm not sure if this question makes sense, but here goes. We have the need to periodically check for newly created/modified files in a rather elaborate and well populated directory structure. I don't believe that simply walking the directory and checking stat's is the answer, given that I need a process that will impose minimal performance degredation on the system. Would it be

hi :) when using ext3, i can't get my hard disks to go to standby mode any more. i am using timeouts set by hdparm with 2.4.18 kernels. even when i issue a standby command manually, the disk spins up again after a few seconds. however, (to my knowledge) no user space program accessed this disk at that time. i suspect ext3's journal to be causing the disk accesses. is that possible?

I recently moved my CentOS 4.5 disk from a Lenovo ThinkCentre M52 (3.2 GHz Pentium 4) to a Lenovo ThinkCentre M55 (3.4 GHz Core 2 Duo). I had to install the SMP kernel, but other than that everything just worked. I did have an issue with accidentally initializing my /boot partition, but that was my own fault. But the system was not feeling right. Some things just seemed to be slower,

Hi, I am still new to R and this is my first post on this mailing-list. I have two .csv (each one being a column of real numbers) coming from the same database (the first one is just longer than the second) and I read them in R the following way: returns <- read.csv("test.csv", header = FALSE) returns2 <- read.csv("test2.csv", header = FALSE) However, the two

Hello, I've sucessfully compiled 2.05a for Solaris 2.6 and its working OK.

Hello to everybody here, We have a strange problem with ext3. df reports 28 of 30 GB to be used (rest may be slack) which it calls 100% used. But with du we can only find 13 GB, most of it actually in pretty large files (archives). Where are the other 17 GB gone?

Hello, Im using samba samba-1.9.18p4 on solaris 2.6. Every works fine with Win95. (browsing, file service printing) With NT file service and browsing are OK. I was wondering if its possible to print from Windows NT4 SP3 samba print services with the option public=no The printing fail silently on the NT machines. I was hoping to have a 'network password' dialog box the same way as to

Dear useRs, I am pretty sure the answer to my question is out there if I would just take the time to cross-correlate information that's scattered among different email exchanges, useR! presentations, Paul Murrel's website and assorted posters, but would some charitable soul be so kind as to explain the step by step procedure for having Sweave produce Lattice graphics with Computer Modern
