Unsafe migration with copy-storage-all (non shared storage) and writeback cache
Hi list,
I would like to understand if, and why, the --unsafe flag is needed when
using --copy-storage-all when migrating guests which uses writeback
cache mode.
Background: I want to live migrate guests with writeback cache from host
A to host B and these hosts only have local storage (ie: no shared
storage at all).
From my understanding, --unsafe should be only required when migrating

openssh stack corruption in arc4random_stir () on OS X
Howdy.
I'm trying to get OpenSSH to work on Mac OS X which is basically BSD unix.
I'm getting segfaults connecting to SSH1 servers (I have no SSH2 servers to
test against so I'm not sure if it's common).
I've followed the instructions on compiling at
http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/2001-03-21.01.html
which essentially amount to

Very good news, thanks. Let me be paranoid: is it *surely* safe?

Libvirt behavior when mixing io=native and cache=writeback
Hi all,
I write about libvirt inconsistent behavior when mixing io=native and

use of buffers in sprintf and snprintf
No, that will make it even worse since you'll be declaring a lot more memory that you actually have.
The real problem is that you're ignoring the truncation, so you probably want to use something like
if (snprintf(tempname, sizeof(tempname), "%s.%d", of1name, j) >= sizeof(tempname)) Rf_error("file name is too long");
BTW: most OSes systems have a path limits that

data=writeback option on root partition - RH 8.0
Well, I had the first use of the recovery mode on the RH 8.0 install CD
today on a dev system. I changed the mount option for the root
partition to data=writeback to see what all the claimed speed increases
are about, and the system failed to mount the partition r/w, so the
resulting boot failed.
After search usenet, it seems other RH folks have had this problem,
possibly because it is

ext3 writeback mode for root parition
I'm trying to enable writeback mode for the root partition. However, adding
the normal option "rootflags=data=writeback" to my grub.conf kernel line
doesn't result in writeback mode (according to `dmesg`).
Does anyone know of a way to enable this?

[PATCH] Btrfs-progs: make btrfsck aware of free space inodes
The new xfstests will run fsck against the volume to make sure we didn''t
introduce any inconsistencies, which is nice except we will error out
immediately if we mount with inode_cache. We need to make btrfsck skip the
special free space cache items and then just assume that we have a link for
the free space cache inode item. This makes btrfsck pass with success on a
fs with inode cache

writeback on /tmp and laptop?
Hello,
I read some threads (some of them not very recent, and perhaps not up to date) and I have not found a clear answer to these:
Is it advisable to have /tmp set up with data=writeback option in general?
Is it again true if we are considering a laptop?
Do I have also to consider writecache of disks in this case or are they totally non related?
How to check/set the state of writecache for

loading several "samples" of data from hard-drive, run "lm", "rlm", etc, save results in a list
I have many "sample" datasets (e.g. sample 5, sample 6, etc), each identified by a number as a suffix. These datasets are saved as individual R objects on my hard drive. (e.g."Wind.5.r" . "Wind.6.r","Solar.5.r","Solar.6.r") For example purposes, I have written code that creates similar data files using the "airquality" dataset. (see

[PROBLEM] setting data=writeback in /etc/fstab for /
Hi everybody,
I had a problem which you may be interested in.
I set data=writeback in /etc/fstab for each of my ext3 partitions (because
it complains on "mount -o remount,data=writeback" with "ext3: journal mode
can't be altered on remount" or similar) and rebooted.
Problem: / was mounted read-only, I couldn't remount it (because mount

data=journal or data=writeback for NFS server
I'm trying to increase the performance of an NFS server running Red Hat
Linux 7.3 and using ext3. This server sees hefty read & write activity
and I've been getting a lot of complaints that writing to the disks is
taking a long time. The hardware is ample (Dell PE 2650 with 2x2.4GHz
Xeons, 6GB RAM, PERC3-DC RAID controller & attached PowerVault 220S) and

use of buffers in sprintf and snprintf
Hi again,
I realised it is useful to replicate the warnings locally without relying on CRAN automatic check; instead of R(-devel) CMD check --as-cran package_version.tar.gz one can use
R CMD check --configure-args=""
and in my case the WARNINGS were initially given with https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/gcc9/README.txt and those specification might as well used in --configure-args
