That means that if you do rm -rf /var/chroot/sid-ia32, and /home is also visible unser /var/chroot/sid-ia32/home, then the rm will try to delete /var/chroot/sid-ia32/home, which will delete the /home (since the two are the same, mounted in different places). So you should unmount this and all other bind mounts before doing rm -rf /var/chroot/sid-ia32. some extra data: $ mount /home on /var/chroot/sid-ia32/home type none (rw,bind) /tmp on /var/chroot/sid-ia32/tmp type none (rw,bind) /dev on /var/chroot/sid-ia32/dev type none (rw,bind) /proc on /var/chroot/sid-ia32/proc type none (rw,bind) Do a umount /var/chroot/sid-ia32/home (and similar for others) before. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: How to install Skype?
Hi. Here is what I did: 00. Downloaded "skype-1.4.0.74.deb" from skype's web site. 01. Tried to install directly with "dpkg" (with "--force-architecture") -> skype didn't work. 02. Downloaded the "static" version from skype's web site -> skype didn't work. 1. Installed a chroot as per the instructions on https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html 2. [In the chroot] Updated "/etc/apt/sources.list". 3. [In the chroot] apt-get update 4. [In the chroot] dpkg -i skype-1.4.0.74.deb -> Errors because of missing dependencies 5. [In the chroot] apt-get upgrade 6. schroot -c ia32 -p skype -> now it works!

What's going on here? gcc on the x86 system generate x86 code and on the x86_64, it generates x86_64 which is an entirely different job. While it might make practical sense to compare the two, it does not says anything on the relative speed of the ports. Try to compare programs that produce the exact same output on both plateforms.

Re: confused about performance
Sebastian Kuzminsky wrote: Hi folks, I just bought a pair of AMD64 systems for a work project, and I'm confused about the performance I'm getting from them. Both are identically configured Dell Dimension C521 systems, with Athlon 64 X2 3800+ CPUs and 1 GB RAM. On one I installed using the Etch (4.0r0) i386 netinst CD, then upgraded to Lenny. This one's running linux-image-2.6.21-1-686. On the other I installed using the current (as of 2007-06-13) Lenny d-i amd64 snapshot netinst CD. This one's running linux-image-2.6.21-1-amd64. The one with the x86 userspace and 686 kernel is faster than the one with x86_64 userspace and amd64 kernel. The difference is consistently a few percent in favor of x86 over x86_64. My only benchmark is compiling our internal source tree (mostly running gcc, some g++, flex, bison, etc). We're using gcc-4.1 and g++-4.1. I've tried it with a cold disk cache and hot disk cache, in both cases x86 is faster than x86_64. I was expecting a win for 64 bit. What's going on here? 64 bit both advantages and disadvantages, for each program it all depends on how they balance out. Test many different cpu-intensive programs - one benchmark alone won't tell you much: Disadvantages: * 64-bit code uses some more memory. More memory accesses take a little more time. In a borderline case, using more memory might cause more swapping, which is very noticeable. * Quality differences in the compilers for 32-bit and 64-bit. This will likely improve a lot, given that we're seeing more and more 64-bit machines, and many of the 32-bit specific optimizations are already done. Advantages: * Faster floating point. * 64-bit code lets a program use more than about 3GB trivially. Such software simply can't run 32-bit. * 16 registers instead of 8. For some programs this won't matter for timing, for other cases it means a many-fold speedup as some important inner loop don't need to access memory at all, just those 16 registers. (Or smaller improvements when the loop access less memory thanks to more variables being held in registers.) * Much faster computations on 64-bit datatypes, such as the "long long" type in C. Again, it depends on whether the sorce code specifies 64-bit types, (or the compiler manages to do this as an optimization.) I wrote a sudoku solver that mainly uses 64-bit and some 128-bit datatypes. It is not surprisingly several times faster 64-bit than 32-bit. :-) Helge Hafting -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
