<0> how can I checkout a specific kernel version (usign a label) with git?
<1> you can clone the whole tree and then use "cg-seek" to the label
<2> no dont use clones
<2> its immoral apparrently
<2> do it the old fashioned way :)
<3> any idea why my Buffers are extremly low (16-20k) on very busy box? kernel 2.6.15.6
<3> i'm talking about figure in top called Buffers, in vmstat called buff
<3> i have 3GB of ram, more than 5000 connections showed by netstat -t, and even tho my buffers have extremly low value
<0> gb, so what's the 'old fashioned way' ?
<2> wereHamster: uou tell me :)
<0> I don't know.. you came up with this idea :)
<2> wereHamster: sure :P
<3> so.. anyone got any idea what those buffers are?
<3> i thought its to cache tcp connections
<3> but maybe they have something to do with I/O ?
<2> juice`: doesn't man work on your system?
<2> did you accidently install woman & wipe man out?
<3> gb: man what? man kernel? doesnt work ;)
<3> gb: i looked through Documentation folder, and couldnt find anything about it
<2> no man vmstat :P
<3> there is not much about it
<3> i read it already
<3> buff: the amount of memory used as buffers.
<2> uhuh ok
<2> search engine?
<3> 'buffers' are very common word
<3> very hard to find exactly what i'm looking for
<2> maybe you could buy a buffer on ebay or amazon :)
<4> am selling some processes on ebay
<4> willow 4543 0.0 0.1 3300 1924 pts/3 Ss 14:58 0:00 bash
<4> for 5
<2> neil_m: no prize for second :P
<4> no
<4> none
<4> :))
<4> r00t
<2> yeah lame :)
<4> quick everyone get your irc-remote-root-exploit-kits.tar.gz
<2> probably running mirc :)
<2> gz?
<2> you haven't upgrade too your
<2> bz2 version yet?
<4> no
<4> am behind the times
<4> am still on 0.1-alpha
<4> :))
<5> Hello - Does anyone have experience with bootsplash? I'm missing /proc/bootsplash on a machine for some reason.
<6> boot splaash
<6> don't know about it
<5> Hello - Does anyone know the process for figuring out vesa modes like vga=806 ?
<5> vga=806 works for 800x480 24bit but I need a 16bit mode
<7> hi
<7> If I need reliable timing in linux
<7> what should I look at
<7> tried setitimer
<7> seems very imprecise
<7> so what else is available, without cooking the cpu due to polling?
<5> kikko_ what about the rtc?
<7> Perdignus, in the kernel doc it says:
<7> Programming and/or enabling interrupt frequencies greater than 64Hz is
<7> only allowed by root
<7> pluis
<7> *plus
<7> somewhere in the same doc
<7> it says that only one process at a time can use the rtc
<7> I'd look into HRT, but I've got kernel 2.6.15 but HRT is savailable since 2.6.16
<8> usb drivers use scsi subsystem... does also sata drivers?
<9> yep
<7> afaik sata uses scsi commands on the wire, so yes
<8> ok, howbout this: I just ran into partition number limit of 16... is this normal under scsi?
<8> I have a large drive, and I want to carve it up into small chunks
<8> is this limitation limited to the kernel, meaning there's nothing about the hardware preventing me from creating and using say 40 partitions on the same drive/
<8> ?
<7> the limit is probably in the partition table
<7> you could use lvm
<7> and slice it up in as many parts as you want
<8> unless lvm is available in other operating systems, that's not an option
<8> but having said that, I am using it for the linux side
<8> well the thing there, is I've partitioned the drive in the past to more than 25 partitions
<10> johnny__: Use a different partition table like gpt. You'll have to use a tool like parted rather than fdisk though.
<8> how would that help me with the scsi thing?
<7> johnny__, btw what error message do you get when you hit the limit?
<8> device not found
<8> or rather no such device
<7> are you running udev?
<7> might be a problem with a missing node in /dev
<10> johnny__: My fault, I thought you were hitting the dos label partition limit, not the scsi disk limit.
<10> johnny__: Are you using a 2.4 kernel?
<8> no, 2.6.15.something
<8> I'd have to go grab the laptop power cord to see exactly which one
<7> johnny__, what distro?
<8> debian, just installed it on the laptop
<8> the truth is I can use it the way it is for its initial purpose (as a demo of some web apps)
<8> but I really want to get it to the point I can use the other 230 gigs
