Hi Jones, many thanks again four your help and your time. Thanks for the patch too - I'll check it up. On my Ubuntu, there is a Samba 4.1.6. I'll install the samba source package, and will try to apply the patch, then - I hope - the package will be compiled as well. I'll notify to you about the result. (First, I need to upgrade that server.) Thanks again, Ervin On Thu, Apr

Hello, I've noticed firefox got randomly stuck, and as sometimes that leads to a complete system lock-up, I've checked dmesg and got this: [Jan29 10:49] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 2097152 bytes) [ +0.000033] swiotlb: coherent allocation failed for device 0000:01:00.0 size=2097152 [ +0.000004] CPU: 6 PID: 1023 Comm: Xorg Not tainted 4.15.0-rc8 #1 [ +0.000003]

Dear all, When I debugged the execution performance of an application using strace, I found there are some system calls like open and stat64 which run faster on XenLinux than the standard Linux. The following is the output of running "strace -c /bin/sh -c /bin/echo foo" on both systems. An open call runs averagely 109 usec on standard Linux but only 41 usecs on XenLinux. An stat64

Not yet, because I'm still struggling to understand the current more basic setup's performance behaviour (with it being off), but it's definitely on my list and I'll report the outcome.

I have now tested with `performance.stat-prefetch: on` but am not observing a difference. So far the only difference between `ls` and `bup index` I could observe is that `bup index` chdir()s into the directory to index, ls doesn't. But when

Hmm, bup uses the fchdir() syscall to go into the target

Hi Ben, do you know if the smallfile benchmark also does interleaved getdents() and lstat, which is what I found as being the key difference that creates the performance gap (further down this thread)? Also, wouldn't `--threads 8` change the performance numbers by factor 8 versus the plain `ls` and `rsync` that I did? Would you mind running those commands directly/plainly on your cluster to

I found the reason now, at least for this set of lstat()s I was looking at. bup first does all getdents(), obtaining all file names in the directory, and then stat()s them. Apparently this destroys some of gluster's caching, making stat()s ~100x slower. What caching could this be, and how could I convince gluster to serve these stat()s as fast as if a getdents() had been done just before

Hi all, I am on gluster 3.10.5 with one EC volume 16+4. One of the machines go down previous night and I just fixed it and powered on. When glusterfsd processes started they consume all CPU on the server. strace shows every process goes over in bricks directory and do a lstat & readlink calls. Each brick directory is 8TB, %60 full. I waited for 24 hours for it to finish but it did not. I

Hi We've recently done some testing with a 3.12 disperse cluster. The performance of filesystem stat calls was terrible, taking multiple seconds. We dumped client side stats to see what was going on and noticed gluster STAT was the culprit. tpcdump shows a STAT call being sent and replied to quite fast, but still the client hangs for multiple seconds before returning. After downgrading

In a somewhat unusual circumstance I have been having trouble when making R from source and with "R CMD build dse" forcing the machine to look for an NFS server which was not available, and then stalling. Our system administrator traced this back to the fact that these go through all the directories back to "/" , doing an lstat on everything. He suggests that that seems odd,

How do i know which NTP server is my linux box contacting to synchronize its time with that of the server ? Thanks Jatin

I am accustomed to the LIBSVM package, which provides cross-validation on training with the -v option % svm-train -v 5 ... This does 5 fold cross validation while building the model and avoids over-fitting. But I don't see how to accomplish that in the e1071 package. (I learned that svm(... cross=5 ...) only _tests_ using cross-validation -- it doesn't affect the training.) Can

Hi, I've been using rsync (OSX Tiger now Leopard) to backup my home folder daily using -a -H -A -X link-dest=dir to make incremental backups. There was a problem though since many files especially images, movies etc would be recopied each time instead of creating hard links. I have been testing the pre5 release and found that it seems to make hard links correctly for all files. I
