Hi, How could i know the processor architecture whether this is x86 or x86_64 ? arch returns the architecture of the OS installed on the machine. But what happened when i installed x86 dom0 on x86_64 machine, then arch and #uname -a as well as #xm info all shows. x86, but really the machine is x86_64. Could anybody tell me how i can get the system information that this is x86_64 machine. Is

Thanks you all guys. I am able to create the RHEL5 PVM on RHEL5 host successfully. Only thing that i need to add is /mnt/etc/fstab in inintrd command and preload to both the fronthend drivers.

Hi there, I am new to Xen. Just began trying it out from day-before. I have a CentOS 4.4 install on my hda6 partition. And I have a openSUSE 10.2 install on my hda8 partition. For openSUSE 10.2, I chose the Xen options while installing, and so I have the xen kernels too installed. For CentOS 4.4, I downloaded the Xen 3.0.2 source and compiled from there. (I followed the instructions at this

Hi Xen Users, Anybody read this book. Could anybody tell me how this would be helpful and what points it covers ? http://www.amazon.com/Professional-XEN-Virtualization-William-Hagen/dp/0470138114 Thanks, Trilok _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi *, as this is my first post I want to say hello to everybody. Well, and unfortunatly I''ve already got a question for you: I''ve installed a guest domain (OS: CentOS 4) on my xen-machine and it''s para-virtualised (just to provide the information ;) ). After the installation and mount the image containing the guest to copy the necessary modules for the xen-kernel,

Hello everyone, I am learning and evaluating a glusterfs for film/video editing facilities. Some major film/video editing realtime applications are using the O_DIRECT file access for video/audio data files. The GLFS client via fuse mechanism is disallow the open file with O_DIRECT flag. I made a little sample code for read a file with O_DIRECT flag, and tried open the files on GLFS volumes. It

Does samba 3.0.23c not support the use of O_DIRECT? When I try to open an smbmount'd file using O_DIRECT, I get EINVAL. I am able to use O_DIRECT with no problems on a block device and nfs mounts, so I know the kernel supports it. samba: 3.0.23c kernel: 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL (32-bit) I am using the below code for my test. smb fails on open(2). #include <fcntl.h> #include

Hi We currently use rsync for various jobs at our company. We are now looking at using it to create an offsite synchonised copy of an Oracle 10g RAC archive logs area. The source area is on Oracle OCFS filesystem. The OCFS filesystem requires all reads/writes to be performed with the O_DIRECT option, thus bypassing cache. Oracle provide an updated coreutils package which includes the

Currently, default behavior of O_DIRECT writes was allowing concurrent writing among nodes, no cluster coherency guaranteed (no EX locks was taken), it hurts buffered reads on other nodes by reading stale data from cache. The new mount option introduce a chance to choose two different behaviors for O_DIRECT writes: * coherency=full, as the default value, will disallow concurrent

Another question. When my database is running, I do [oracle@LNCSTRTLDB03 LPTE3]$ cp --o_direct xdb01.dbf /tmp cp: cannot open `xdb01.dbf' for reading: Permission denied [oracle@LNCSTRTLDB03 LPTE3]$ When the database is shudown it works. Is this normal for ocfs because with any other filesystem I can just copy a file at any time (Its only a testing, I know I cant copy datafiles and have

It'd be pretty cool if rsync supported use of O_DIRECT on platforms that support it, with or without my odirect package: http://dcs.nac.uci.edu/~strombrg/odirect/ I say this because rsync is sometimes used to move a mountain of data, just once. So there's little point in rsync toasting one's buffer cache. I gather there's something like O_DIRECT on windows too, but it's

All, Long ago Xen added code to the device model to basically do an fsync() after every data write if the user in the guest specified that IDE write caching should be disabled. This works fine, except in the case where you are doing O_DIRECT writes inside the guest (ala dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb oflag=direct). This is because you can get out of ide_write_dma_cb() in the middle of the loop

Hello, Just became curious - is O_DIRECT already supported on ext3 or not yet? And a little bit offtopic :). Is that flag supported on some other filesystem other than ext2? Thanks, Mindaugas

Although tapdisk has been instead of tapdisk-ioemu, but it still used on some old xen-3.2. So fix a performance problem here. -- Kernel aio will retry when encounter a block doesn''t allocated, then do async io, but O_DIRECT flag was there, so io_wait on sync data. And clean a little code style. Signed-off-by: Wei Kong <weikong.cn@gmail.com>

Guys, posted this last week and had no response so far. Just posting again in case anyone missed it. I really could do with knowing as it's delaying the rollout of a new project I'm working on.
