<0> 1.5GB
<0> shshs[N\A]: 1.5GB
<0> dammit!
<0> so anyone know how i can specify that i have 1024MB RAM?
<1> mem=
<1> you probably need to turn on high memory support or whatever as well
<1> otherwise the max is ~800mb
<0> i thought himem support was for 4GB - 64GB
<1> there's 2 options iir
<1> 1-4 and 4+
<0> ahh
<0> so i need to recompile my kernel :/
<2> does anyone know if the /proc/sys/kernel/nfs-root-name and /proc/sys/kernel/nfs-root-addrs are available in 2.6.14?
<2> the manpage for initrd say they should be there, but they don't seem to be
<3> ahaha! I plugged in my firewire harddrive... And it was detected... I'm so happy you guys fixed that issue
<4> Servo888: we fixed nothing :)
<4> Servo888: perhaps read the changelog so you can give credit too whom credit is due
<4> Servo888: it's always good too send positive feedback too the right person as encouragement because more often then not all the authors of the code receive are complaints, not praise
<4> gday bob
<5> i think 0 0 0 /proc/sys/vm/buffermem is what i want to do
<5> but bufmem isnt there.
<5> what am i looking for? my distro docs dont venture as far as /proc/sys/vm
<5> alright. buffer isnt what i want to eliminate :\
<5> is there a mechanism to disable cache in memory
<5> im seeing alot of "there is no reason to disable filesystem cache" from google
<5> but that totally does not help me.
<5> how _do_ you disable caching of frequent file I/O in memory?
<1> theres no reason to do that
<1> ;)
<1> got a reason ?
<1> if you're worried about losing mem to swap /proc/sys/vm/swappiness can help
<5> well, im benchmarking disk access
<5> i dont very well want entire hundreds of megabytes of files cached in memory, do i?
<1> why not
<5> because im not benchmarking how fast stuff can be pulled out of ram?
<1> make your test files bigger than your ram :)
<5> yeah, i was doing that..
<5> then i realized it was just faster to restart the machine.. :|
<5> there really isnt a way to tell the system "do not just cache random files you read in memory"
<1> boot with mem=64 :)
<5> id rather boot with cacherandomfilesiread?=no :|
<5> it's really handy of it to do it, but my first run on any file takes 35 seconds, and subsequent tests takes less then 8 :\
<5> i really cant benchmark anything meaningful if it keeps caching every doggone thing
<1> there seems to be some patches
<1> http://groups.google.com.au/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/62ac10a64007044a/af79e9587a2373f8?lnk=st&q=linux+disable+buffer+cache+benchmark&rnum=2&hl=en#af79e9587a2373f8
<1> nice uri :)
<5> yeah :)
<5> unmounting/mounting a fs will invalidate files that were cached off that part of the fs earlier? o_O
<1> sounds right
<5> i like some of the later criticism
<5> "1) This mail is the only documentation on how to operate your patch.
<5> How do you suppose your users to find out how to operate the switch?
<5> (I asume it's really a switch, a toggle would be insane.)"
<5> I asume it's really a switch.. a toggle would be insane.
<5> :P
<1> hmm, wierd
<1> i'm wrting an ftl layer
<1> but the probe seems to pick up the actualy partition as well as the whole nand
<5> well super. a patch. :)
<6> how can I change a kernel version name before configuration?
<6> include/linux/version.h doesn't exist
<6> before configuration
<6> Makefile?
<7> y
<6> jrk, yes it works for me
<8> Hi!*
<8> I installed latest Debian Sarge netinstall and I found that the kernel is 2.4.27-2-386. How comes that it is not using latest 2.6.x kernel? What's the differences between 2.4.x and 2.6.x series?
<4> YogSothoth: what is sarge?
<4> I know it is debian, but tell me what type of debian?
<4> is it considered unstable for instance?
<4> hmm
<8> gb, yes this is the latest stable release. It's the name for all Debian 3.1 releases. And current release is 3.1r1a, I think.
<4> YogSothoth: I know what it is, you just said the magic word though, what is 2.4 considered as?
<8> gb, stable
<4> yup :)
<8> but 2.6.15.4 is also
<8> As I read from http://www.kernel.org/
<4> there is no way in hell you can call 2.6 stable yet :)
<8> really? so why they call it stable on kernel.org? I'm newbie so I trust what is said :-)
<4> lots of people use it, that much is true & you can apt-get install 2.6, vyt noone in there right mind would place an unstable kernel as a basis for their stable dist
<4> 2.6 is still changing way too much on a regular basis
<4> 2,6 is considered stable enough too use but it is predominantly the developing stream of the kernel
<8> The point is that I'm looking for a kernel supporting the QLogic host bus adapter fibre channel SANsurfer QLA200. And after googling a bit I found that only latest 2.6.x release should support it :-( But in the other hand this is a production machine where I can't use something not considered stable.
<4> hehehe yeah a nice quandry too be placed in
<4> you could always install a stable commercial product from redmond :)
<4> & experience way more downtime then a changing unstable kernel :)
<4> try apt-cache search 2.6|less
<4> oh you'll need too apt-get install aptitude;aptitude install less
<4> I prefer too roll my own though
<4> for debian tips try #debian
<4> oh no
<8> gb, why apt-get install aptitude?
<9> /usr/src/linux-2.6.15/fs/proc/proc_misc.c the function meminfo_read_proc invokes the command sprintf ... what does this mean in this context ?
<4> oh no
<10> moin gb
<4> YogSothoth: ask debian related questions in #debian please
<10> working hard i see
<4> of course :)
<10> good to see that
<4> uhuh
<10> well time for me to "work hard" too heh
<4> bobbens: that'd make a change :P
<10> yeah it would
<10> well ill just pretend to work hard, dont want to take it too hard first time
<4> hehehe, if you work smart there's no need too work hard :)
<10> true
<10> or just run some apps in the background that make it look like you work hard
<4> hehehe
<10> "wow his cpu is at 99% and his hdd led is flashing like crazy"
<10> he must be working ahrd
<4> theres actually an app that emails you status reports on how hard you are working :)
<4> specifically designed for your boss or ceo in mind :)
<10> probably easy to hack / evade
<4> hmm this oughta be interesting :)
<4> one of your religous m8's just joined bobbens :)
<4> you know the one I +b'd :)
<11> Hello All
<11> I need some help on fare-share algorithm??
<4> eww
<12> Anyone know where in menuconfig the option CONFIG_ROOT_NFS is located?
<13> hi .. am using fedora .. and want to patch my kernel with xen.. i dont want to use a new kernel because i have inserted custom drivers in my current kernel... how do i go about patching my current kernel to enable xen support .. ?
<4> vimman: how long is a piece of string?
<13> eth0 is not working in my fedora system.. i am using a different kernel.. to support xen.. fedora is the host kernel and eth0 is not working in the host kernel.. mii-tool reports "no MII interface found" .. so does this mean that i dont have drivers ??
<14> hai
<15> hi, am gettin a forcedeth error : unknown sybol and a list of unknown symbols can anybody help?
<16> mmm hi i get an error when i was compiling the kernel
<16> kernel warning crew time ...
<16> what can be the problem ?
<16> :)
<17> is it (easily?) possible with LVM to handle the case that a PV moves to a different device (e.g. because the HD was moved to a different controller)?
<16> i need unable any module ?
<16> make: *** Warning: Clock skew detected
