well i finally figured out how to run fsck (kept getting device busy errors) and i got the following very short input:
fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) /dev/hdc1: clean, 31907/10010624 files, 16727577/20010808 blocks is that good? did it fix anything? _________________________________ daniel a. g. quinn starving programmer but my friend i'd sacrifice all those nights if i could make the earth and my dreams the same - creed ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 11:09 AM Subject: RE: nfs too much for a little celeron? | <snip>...and i've never run fsck on any | part of the machine 'cause i don't know what it is, what it does or | why it's | nessecary :( | </snip> | | fsck=filesystemchecker | | Jeff Graves | Customer Support Engineer | Image Source, Inc. | 10 Mill Street | Bellingham, MA 02019 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Email | 508.966.5200 X31 - Phone | 508.966.5170 - Fax | | -----Original Message----- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of daniel | Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 1:10 PM | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: Re: nfs too much for a little celeron? | | | | To explain for your NFS problem experienced, please give more | information | as | | to what version of Linux kernel, NFS server software, which file | system | etc. | | you are using.

Remember | that | | Linux is a very efficient OS, and consume much less memory than | comparative | | Windows platform. The "1904 K bytes" on the free Mem column shows | the | memory | | left after system / program and buffer cache use. Linux is built to | use as | | much available memory for disk caching and bufferring as possible, | as | these | | memory would be left idled otherwise. When your software needs more | memory, | | the kernel would automatically free up some of these cache buffers | for | | program use, and it all done for you transparently in the | background. So, | | from your figures, the actual amount of memory used by system and | user | | programs are only : 125564 - 1904 - 80984 = 42676 K bytes (about 42 | MB). | And | | within this 42 MB, around 10 MB (9980 KB) are used for buffers. So, | you | still | | have plenty of memory to go. | | | | To explain for your NFS problem experienced, please give more | information | as | | to what version of Linux kernel, NFS server software, which file | system | etc. | | you are using.
