Does "bwlimit" option really work on rsync locally? We have one type of harddisk and want to slow down rsync I/O on disk because I don't want the disk head gets too hot. While I'm trying to use --bwlimit option, it looks the rsync speed was slowed down, but iostat is not improved at all. In both case the block written speed is increased by the same amount. How could I really

Issue: Vista reads slowly from a samba server. This appears to pop up periodically here and elsewhere. My samba.conf file has: [homes] ... vfs objects = readahead As suggested elsewhere. Writes are approximately 17-18MB/s which is acceptable. Reads are in the 8MB/s range which is appalingly slow. Using linux smbclient and windows XP clients I can read at 25+MB/s. I've enabled vfs

Hi all. I have problem with performance ocfs2. I just instaled ocfs2 1.4.1 in 2 nodes cluster. I use ocfs2 in mail server. This system has large amount of small files about 50kB. Ocfs2 is formated: >> mkfs.ocfs2 -T mail -N 2 /dev/sdb1 mkfs.ocfs2 1.4.1 Cluster stack: classic o2cb Overwriting existing ocfs2 partition. Proceed (y/N): y Filesystem Type of mail Filesystem label=

Hello, We are planning to moving most of our servers to ESX but before buying our SAN, we want to do some I/O stats to see if iSCSI is enough or if we have to go with FC. So I found a plugin for Nagios that can log I/O stats with iostat. So far it's fine with single disk/one partition servers, but on our Oracle Database 10g server, we have two drives in RAID 1 (/dev/sda) and 4 other

Hi, I had been experiencing a problem on our dedicated server running Centos 5, and unable to successfully track down the problem. Since about 6 days ago, I noticed a spike in load/CPU utilization which went from a typical 0.2x-0.3x to 3.x. At the same time, average traffic also went up and so did the log usage. Prior to this, the server was working fine and there had been no changes to the

Hi all We are implementing samba-ldap to act as an nt pdc and are seeing performance problems. We have a 1ghz, 3gb Ram, 36gb box that is running samba-2.2.5 and openldap-2.0.23 under redhat 7.3 with kernel 2.4.18-3. Clients are all Win2k SP3. All the ldap requests are to the localhost interface. The box is acting as the PDC for the domain, and also sharing diskspace and printers. When we get

I successfully have OCFS running in a two-node RAC environment using RHAS 3 (2.4.21-4.EL) using Qlogic 2310 cards. IO performance, however, was terrible with the combination of OCFS and the Qlogic cards. After extensive testing, OCFS did fine on its own, as did the fibre cards. Put the two together, and everything literally ran twice as slow. Support at Qlogic pointed me to

Wim, Thanks for your prompt response on this. The tpmC figures look very impressive, and tpmC is read intensive. I had already read note 236679.1 "Comparing Performance Between RAW IO vs OCFS vs EXT2/3" which I guess is the article to which you are referring; it made me suspect that the poor performance was due to the lack of an OS IO cache but I wasn't sure. The database is

Hello ocfs2 experts, OS is RHEL 2.6.9-78.0.13.ELsmp x86 With OCFS2 1.2.9 RDBMS/Clusterware s/w 10.2.0.1 Hoping someone can help me resolve the following error when running cluvfy to check ocfs2-shared storage. Have validated that the devices were correctly mounted and cross-referenced with another 2-node RAC environment we have where we'd successfully run cluvfy on prior to installing

Although the time spent in memcpy/memset probably pales in comparison to time spent in socket I/O, it's still worth worth reducing the number of times we have to utilize a bounce buffer when we already have aligned data. Note that blocksize, cache, and cow all do block fragmentation and bounce-buffer alignment; this brings the logic in cache and cow (which were copied from one another) more

Hello All. I was running Winlink Airmail fine for several months. Somewhere between up grading Wine and Xubuntu I lost the ability to see what I was typing when writing a new e-mail. The text is there but it cannot be seen. If I miss spell and use the spell checker it will appear. When the spell checker is finished the printing disappears again. This is a built-in spell checker in Airmail.

Make the implicit lock explicit, and hold it around blk_* operations.

Commit 975dab14 argued that for simple lock/unlock sequences, it was easier to avoid the cleanup.h macros. But since that time, we added additional sanity checking to the macros, at which point the boilerplate of inlining that sanity checking is outweighed compared to just using the macros in more places.

Thanks Sunil for your advice. I tried that both for ocfs-tools-1.0.10.tar.gz and ocfs-1.0.12.tar.gz. ./configure --with kernel=/usr/src/linux-2.4.21.-9.0.01.ELorafw1 make KVER=up make install That was successful. When I tried to load_ocfs I still got "undefined symbol" errors. I found another ocfs-users thread from April where Wim suggested using the i686 kernel

Dear all, I have installed DRBD 8.3.11 compiled from sources. However the backend block will freeze if there is high IO load. I use Remus to support high availability and checkpointing is controlled by remus for each 400ms. If I check the Iostat I got the idle CPU will decreasing extremely each checkpointing and when its reach 0% of idle cpu the local backing device will freeze and damage the

Previously, we let a plugin set an error in either thread-local storage (nbdkit_set_error()) or errno, then connections.c would decode which error to use. But with filters in the mix, it is very difficult for a filter to know what error was set by the plugin (particularly since nbdkit_set_error() has no public counterpart for reading the thread-local storage). What's more, if a filter does
