similar to: Re: VFS bug in 2.4.10+ which applies ulimits to block devices

I had sent email to Andrea asking him if his blkdev-in-pagecache might cause the recent reports about ulimits being applied to block devices. This is his response which he asked me to forward to ext3-users since he can't post being a non-subscriber BTW, Redhat should whitelist various kernel hackers email address on their mailserver so that they can post freely to various lists Regards,

A playback of a mono vorbis track on a system using the i810 audio driver via ogg123 results in a double speed playback (chipmunk sound). It seems that this chipset doesn't support mono and while xmms seems to compensate for it, ogg123 doesn't I have a bugzilla report at redhat.com filed on this with more details https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90433 Regards, Yusuf

I asked Ted about his patch for ext3 and ext2 and this is his response. I am not sure if his post will reach lkml since it's sent to vger.rutgers.edu IMHO, With the amount of work Andrew has done to make ext3 usable for MTA applications, Ted's work would make ext3 even better for MTA apps sinc both Postfix/qmail use 'find' in their control-scripts and queue statistics program

Postfix <http://www.postfix.org> does a chattr +S on its spool directory when it is installed on Linux. This is what is written in the postfix startup script -- # # LINUX by default does not synchronously update directories - # that's dangerous for mail. # if [ -f /usr/bin/chattr ] then CHATTR="/usr/bin/chattr +S" else CHATTR=echo fi -- Is this still required on ext3 ?

That seems to be the indication given by this webpage http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html However, default install of Redhat 7.2 setsup fs_passno(6th field of /etc/fstab) as 2 which asks you if you want to run fsck after an unclean shutdown The question is, is fsck required after an unclean shutdown or should one just rely on journal replay. What does fsck do when it sees an

Hi, I have the following line in $HOME/.ssh/config Protocol 2,1 I run OpenSSH 2.3.0p1 on my RH 7.0 box running 2.2.18. I am trying to ssh into a FreeBSD 4.2-stable box which runs OpenSSH 2.2.0. The account I am trying to ssh into has two files in $HOME/.ssh authorized_keys and authorized_key2 which contains RSA and DSA keys respectively. >From my RH 7.0 machine, I do the following ssh -v

Hi, I am using Redhat 7.3 which comes with openssh 3.1p1. I am running an antivirus software called vexira on this server. It starts of 2 daemon processes in the background. Whenever I stop/start these daemons in an ssh session, it hangs. I added "shopt -s huponexit" (without the quotes) in /etc/bashrc, but the hangs still occur. Any advice on this would be appreciated Regards, Yusuf

man chattr mentions the following [on RH 7.2] A file with the `i' attribute cannot be modified: it cannot be deleted or renamed, no link can be created to this file and no data can be written to the file. Only the superuser can set or clear this attribute The .journal file has the following properties ---i-d------- ../.journal As such, I am confused as to how data to the journal can

Hi, I installed RH 7.1/e2fsprogs 1.22 and util-linux 2.11f on a box with a 3ware 6200 and 2 20GB IDE drives and then installed 2.4.7 and ext3 0.9.5 I unmounted all the filesystems except / and did a tune2fs -i 0 -c 0 -j <device> on all the remaining filesystems This created a journal with a hidden file. >From what I recollect, doing a tune2fs on a mounted fs creates .journal file.

Hi, I am using openssh 2.1.1pl4 on a Linux 2.2.16 box [RH 6.1 distribution], I was confused as to why when I telnet into that box, I get /usr/local/bin in my PATH but when I ssh into my box, /usr/local/bin is not in my PATH I modified /etc/ssh/sshd_config to have UseLogin yes and then when I try to ssh into that box, I couldn't. ssh -v showed the following debug: Requesting shell. debug:

postfix-users seems to be a subscription only list. I'd recommend incorporating TDMA <http://tdma.sf.net/> to allow for easy discussion by outsiders Andrew Morton (of ext3 fame) had sent this message to postfix-users list I am forwarding so that Wietse can hopefully provide the definitive answer to the question Andrew Morton/Stephen Tweedie seek ----- Forwarded message from Andrew

Hi, ext3-0.0.5d.tar.gz is now up on ftp.uk.linux.org:/pub/linux/sct/fs/jfs/ and ftp.*.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/sct/ext3/ as patches against 2.2.18. This only contains the kernel bits: we're in the process of syncing up on some e2fsprogs so I'll do another release shortly once we've got all of the pending changes for the user-mode tools assembled. This release is mostly

Hi all, ext3-0.0.5c is now up at: ftp.uk.linux.org:/pub/linux/sct/fs/jfs/ and ftp.*.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/sct/ext3/ The most important part of this release is the e2fsprogs: e2fsck now supports the journal changes for metadata-only journaling. Ted, I've changed around the use of jfs* include files in e2fsprogs quite heavily here. In each build directory --- the lib/ext2fs

My reading of the kernel.src.rpm doesn't indicate that Severn has ext3 htree patches. Stephen, were there any issues seen during Cerberus testing ? Regards, Yusuf -- Yusuf Goolamabbas yusufg@outblaze.com

I have spent hours on R in Windows 7. Just installed 2 days ago so the R package should be current. Currently I am using the RGui (64-bit) for Windows. I can not read an Excel file into R from my computer. Have hours on this. Completely crazy!! I have the XLConnect package loaded. I think it is loaded because when I enter: > loadedNamespaces() [1] "base"
