HVM domain with write caching going on somewhere to disk
I just about have my PV block device drivers booting, except just before the login screen appears I get a message that the registry couldn''t be written out. I''m pretty sure that this is because some data from the int13 interface provided by the qemu intel ide driver that has been written, hasn''t actually made it to the block device (lvm volume in my case). I''ve

/dev/loopX not released when domU terminates ?
Hello all, I have some DomU''s with root and swap images on files under Xen 3.0.0 Investigating some cases of boot failure of domUs, I stumbled upon the fact that when a domU is shutdown via xm shutdown, not all of its images are released from their /dev/loopX - devices. That is, for i in /dev/loop*; do losetup $i; done still shows output for that image. It seems to me that the

ramfs to tmpfs
Hello, I was using a bunch of cpios in initramfs as a working system, and wondering why the unused files weren't being paged out to swap. So I reread ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt and now I know. So I wrote the attached utility. It creates a tmpfs, moves all files on the initramfs, moves / and executes the real init. It works, even with hardlinks, but it isn't the correct approach. Have

Samba-4.1.18 romaing profile causes memory leak
Are you running with DHCP IP adress? ( not adviced ) i see, .. >dns forwarder = 127.0.1.1 run : hostname -i hostname -I if you see anything with 127.0.x.x Then your setup is not correct and can have problems. ( for example with authentication. ) please make sure your /etc/hosts file does not contain 127.0.1.1 of sorts. like : 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain 192.168.0.1

[PATCH] meminfo.c32: Remove unneeded 'x' characters from output
meminfo.c32: Remove unneeded 'x' characters from output. Commit 5932f124 ("com32: change '%llx' to use PRIx64", committed on 2015-01-06) adds 1 "x" character per each of the 3 hex output columns for the 'INT 15h e820' value(s) in meminfo.c32. These 3 extra "x" characters are not really needed in this context, and they can make the resulting

Memory/data -last time I promise
I've seen several posts over the past 2-3 weeks about memory issues. I've tried to carefully follow the suggestions, but remain baffled as to why I can't load data into R. I hope that in revisiting this issue that I don't exasperate the list. The setting: 1 gig RAM , Linux machine 10 Stata files of approximately 14megs each File contents appear at the end of this boorishly long

XEN server stalling .. problem spotted - solution required
Ok, I''ve been chasing this for many days .. I have a server running 10 instances that periodically freezes .. then sometimes "comes back." I tried many things to try to spot the problem and finally found it by accident. It''s a little frustrating as typically the Dom0 and One (or two) instances "go" and the rest carry on .. and there is diddley squat when it

Wine Hides On-board RAM
I have recently noticed an unusual side-effect of running Wine. When I first start up my system, /proc/meminfo reports MemTotal as 256892 kb. After running Wine for awhile, /proc/meminfo reports MemTotal as 32680 kb. The system performs as if it only had 32 MB of RAM. A reboot of the system resets total memory to the proper value. My question is: 1) Has anybody else encountered this? 2)
