Re: ext3 / ext4 on USB flash drive?
Agh. This is great to have some of this clarified, Ted. It does
unfortunately reinorce my cynicism. But it also fills my heart. That
is, though it might be bad news to hear that I have most likely bought
a piece of crap, and that there's no way I can really tell what's
inside the cover unless either I do some kind of low-level alchemy of
a kind that mere users would normally be well

CF Card wear optimalisation for ext4

Hello everyone,
I been using CF cards for almost more then 7 years now with ext
file-system without any major problems on ALIX boards.
Last year I took 30 other systems in production with ext4 and the CF
cards been dropping out pretty fast, it may have been a bad batch but
I do want to look at it. I don't think the devices writes a lot of IO

New to CentOS, is this a safe bet?
I know this may be a stupid place to ask, but I have to ask. I'm looking
for a new Linux distro to use and support. I've been a loyal purchaser
of SuSE Linux Pro for the last 3 years. I've paid my $90 loyally, in
part because I wanted money to actually go to someone working on OSS,
but also because I thought it was a good bargain, to get a quality,
tested distro for that cost.

Re: CF Card wear optimalisation for ext4
Something else that you might want to do is count the number of
journal commits that are taking place, via a command like this:
perf stat -e jbd2:jbd2_start_commit -a sleep 3600
This will count the number of jbd2 commits are executed in 3600
seconds --- i.e., an hour.
If you are running some workload which is constantly calling fsync(2),
that will be forcing journal commits, and those turn into

SSD Optimizations
I''m looking to try BTRFS on a SSD, and I would like to know what SSD
optimizations it applies. Is there a comprehensive list of what ssd
mount option does? How are the blocks and metadata arranged? Are there
options available comparable to ext2/ext3 to help reduce wear and
improve performance?
Specifically, on ext2 (journal means more writes, so I don''t use ext3 on
SSDs,

Flash IDE
Hi
We have a number offices accommodating 4-6 people each hence it is very
important for PBX to be fanless and silent. We have been looking at using
IDE flash disks also called DOM. The performance tests we have done so far
satisfy our requirements, however we are concerned with DOM durability.
We have installed debian and vanilla asterisk on 1GB DOM. All seems to work
fine at the moment however

ext3 Overhead
Hello!
I'm using a CompactFlash as storage device. Since those CF cards only have
limited write cycles (CF does wear-levelling by itself, but you don't want
to write too many timet so the card) i was wondering by what a factor the
journaling of ext3 increases the write accesses to the CompactFlash
compared to ext2. Thanks a lot already for your help!
Sincerely

relay-ctrl works
In case anyone still cares, relay-ctrl works with Dovecot. Dovecot's
end of the bargain requires a dirty little script to set TCPREMOTEIP
based on the arguments passed from imap-login:
#!/bin/sh
TCPREMOTEIP=`echo "$@" | sed -e 's|.* ||' -e 's|]$||'`
export TCPREMOTEIP
exec "$@"
And this (long) line in dovecot.conf:
