Yes, still here. I check the forums once in a great while but I haven't posted in ages.

That reply took a long time. :)

Do you have access to a bash (or another) shell? Seems to me that you could generate those queries, each on a single line in a file, and run them one at a time with a simple loop:

The HPUX box has a PA-RISC chip, will try an IA64 on Monday to see if it behaves the same.

I am testing a tool that reports on system performance. I wanted to "use" a bunch of memory and make sure the stats that were being reported, by the too, were somewhat accurate. I noticed the...

Hi, I have the following snippet of code, that is not printing the way I would expect it to print on Linux, but it is fine on HP-UX.



int i = 1;
while((buf = (char *)malloc(i))...

As far as UNIX/Linux, Best Buy used to sell; one of the BSD's (I think it was NetBSD), Mandrake ( around the 7.2 era), and Red Hat.

Yeah, I am not sure where the 40% performance hit came from. Again, I was replying based on the original post.

In my last post, I was just asking if the encrypted LVM would cause more than the...

Definitely, I see no harm in experimentation. I was just saying that I don't see the benefit of using LVM, since the OP was about the performance hit and the benefits when not adding new hard drives...

I don't think you will do any harm by doing LVM, and it will be a good learning experience.

However, since you're not going to be taking advantage of LVMs full potential and suffering from a...

I don't see the benefit for using it in a laptop, or somewhere where you will only be using a single hard drive - Unless you will be shrinking/expanding partition sizes in the future.

I have successfully used System Rescue CD ( http://www.sysresccd.org ) to make back up images of an installation.

I agree.. Python is great for this. I prefer wxPython for GUI development, it's got a lot of nice widgets built in. If you're looking to use an IDE for this, Komodo Edit is free and seems to be...

Sometimes you can just check the man pages for such answers. This machine I am on happens to have two man page entries for setsockopt (3p) and (2). One looks like it's from the POSIX Programmers (3p)...

Wow sorry about the spelling and the double post.

Just wanted to say that I have been using Yast to create the NFS install server. Once I am finished with that, I then copy the entire directory...

Yeah I did try it and see.. hehe and no dice.

However, once I install one system I can then you yast to create an installation server. It's still not 100% what I want but it takes some work off...

Hi,

I recently set up an NFS server so I can do network installations of SLES9 SP3. It's great because there is a lot of CD swapping involved in that OS install. Another issue is that the...

Searching on Google for "Linux Redirection" gave some good results. Take a look at the first one or two and you should be all set.

Write something that solves a task or problem you deal with oftenl. Start simple, and extend it, and you will hopefully end up with something useful for yourself and probably others. Then you can...

Well with permissions you could simply put a note in the docs that the user that is running the httpd process will need full permissions to the upload directory.

Did you reboot or anything?

Try downloaded the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script on this page after plugging in your scsi disc. When I plug in my ipod, I can see it in the output of /proc/scsi/scsi. What...

Do you have any other USB ports you could try? Or even try plugging another USB device (iPod would work) into that port and look for some changes in /proc/scsi/scsi ?

I am not 100% that this...

Could you post the output from "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" ?

I am not 100% sure, but I think the "c" mean character device and the "b" means block device.

I am pretty sure the driver for the smart arrray is the cciss driver. Your drives will be in /dev/cciss/c0d0, /dev/cciss/c0d1, etc.

Now, as far as configurign that, I think you have to do it...
