Re: [expert] HIGH end linux server
IF you want 4 CPU more or is to try some big name like Compaq (Very expensive, but they come with a good waranty. You can have hot swap disk etc... and now on Compaq smart start they support Linux). Most of the board for DIY PC will be 2 CPU only, for PII/PII or P4, Alpha and now Athlon. 4 CPU or more are only Xeon (and may be Alpha), and if you have to build every thing from scratch with your spec it will be expensive and don't forget you still have to fix it (need for spares). For Raid, Mylex or Adaptec will do the job. Hot swap Disk Rack plenty of choice but expensive. Andre Julia A.

Re: [expert] Why I can't see all packets on my network segment?
Greetings, Is your network using hubs or a switches? If you are using a hub, this is a simple ethernet repeater, all packets are visible to all systems connected to that hub (even other hubs if they are all connected together). If you are using a switch, it is much more intelligent, and filters out packets that are not destined for your machine. It knows which packets go where by understanding the MAC address of the ethernet boards, and routes based on this. For a special case of broadcast packets, they are sent to all ports on the switch. The reason for using a switch is to enhance available bandwidth on each network segment (it also helps with security, as you have just discovered). e.g. if two machines are are communicating directly, the other systems never see the network traffic. Therefore, if you are only seeing broadcast packets (including ARP), this is what is going on.

In other words, HOW can a 10/100 'HUB' be a PURE hub (and not have any features of a switch)). It's not a 'pure hub'. Older hubs were single-speed: Analog wigglies came in, they were re-clocked then re-transmitted to all (other, e.g. not the one the packet came in on) ports. Multi-speed hubs are digital in between the goes-inta and goes-outa, and do not have a strict time relationship between the ports. FYI, in the case of a multi-speed configuration (e.g. 10/100 mix) a digital hub spools some (small) number of packets, then dumps the rest. If the destination was on the slow side, the originating host will re-transmit the packet when it doesn't get a response from the packet(s) that the hub dropped. Switches generally have larger buffers when going from a faster to slower ports, but if there is too much higher-speed traffic then it, too, will dump packets as with a hub. Managed switches can be interrogated for statistics on exactly this kind of occurrance. Its early, and I'm incoherent, so I hope this makes sense ;-) rc Rusty E.

[expert] Compaq AP400 Dual Processor nightmare!
Hi All, I've got a sad story, and I was hoping that someone might be able to rescue me from my own stupidity. I've got a couple Compaq AP400 Professional Workstations. 500 Mhz, 128MB ram, 9GB hard drive, MGA G200 graphics card, PS/2 keyboard, and USB mouse. Not a screamer, but by no means a bad machine. I installed Linux kernel 2.4.7, Mandrake 8 on one, and it's running great. The Anti-aliased text is beautiful. I found out that this machine can be made a dual-processor box! So, thinking two heads were better, I pulled the CPU and memory out of the non-used machine, and stuck them into the used machine. I started the machine with an SMP kernel, and both CPU's are recognized. The machine works well, and so I recompiled the latest kernel with all the gubbins to support USB and dual processors. I get all excited, reboot with this new kernel and start X (version 4.0.3). X appears to start just fine. I say appears because I get one click on anything, and then no further mouse clicks are recognized. After a minute or two, the keyboard becomes inoperative, even for a ctrl-alt-delete or a alt-Fx console switch. The machine is still alive. I can ping it...I can move the mouse, I just can't click on anything or type anything. ARGH! So, yank out the second CPU, and boot off the same kernel.

Yes, your question is a valid one - what is the rest of the network topology? Are there switches upstream? (Somewhat OT: Sadly, rudeness is what I have come to expect, even in forums such as this. Many times, when attempting to help people, it is necessary to 'calibrate' the level at which you are communicating. I have found a surprising number of people who use the terms 'hub' and 'switch' interchangeably) BTW: The label on the box where my ws is plugged into plainly says Dual speed 16-port Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Hub so this is not switch. ;-) Hmm. Question - what are the network speeds for all the NICs hooked to that 'hub'? What's the uplink speed? *IF* the uplink is 100, and YOU are 10, then it seems like the 'hub' cannot act ENTIRELY like a 'dumb hub', else you'd not be able to get all the packets that might be sent to you. (Anybody know what happens to a 10/100 HUB when a 100 side streams more than 10 MB/s at a 10MB side Or, more to the point of THIS situation - what happens when the total traffic on all segments is greater than the rx bandwidth of one of the receivers? In other words, HOW can a 10/100 'HUB' be a PURE hub (and not have any features of a switch)). It's not a 'pure hub'. Older hubs were single-speed: Analog wigglies came in, they were re-clocked then re-transmitted to all (other, e.g. not the one the packet came in on) ports. Multi-speed hubs are digital in between the goes-inta and goes-outa, and do not have a strict time relationship between the ports. FYI, in the case of a multi-speed configuration (e.g. 10/100 mix) a digital hub spools some (small) number of packets, then dumps the rest. If the destination was on the slow side, the originating host will re-transmit the packet when it doesn't get a response from the packet(s) that the hub dropped. Switches generally have larger buffers when going from a faster to slower ports, but if there is too much higher-speed traffic then it, too, will dump packets as with a hub. Managed switches can be interrogated for statistics on exactly this kind of occurrance. Its early, and I'm incoherent, so I hope this makes sense ;-) rc Rusty E.

Re: [expert] SMP systems (continued)
Actually, a lot of it depends on the architecture... Xeons are really only designed for 4 way SMP.. 8 and 16 way solutions are custom designs and the cost per CPU goes way up. Plus, the GTL bus that Xeons use can easily saturate the memory bus at the 4 way level.. All 4 CPUs have to share the same memory bandwidth. So, they dont scale nearly as well as Sun, Alpha or MIPS. The Alpha uses the EV6 bus.. It is quite capable of scaling well to 16 and 32 CPUs with little problem.. But, the Alpha is a high-cost option as well. Sun UltraSparc II and III processors can scale as high as 64 processors in a single box.. SGI has Origin servers that can scale even higher.. Linux will run well on any of these platforms.. Also, for a better high end disk solution, you might try checking into EMC hardware.. They are expensive, but they're about the best around for Unix servers.. IBM is the best for mainframes... If you're just looking for a small solution (say under 200 gig) you may want to stay with a Mylex/Compaq/Adaptec RAID soluiton. But, anything beyond that is where EMC sits.. My employer has used EMC on our cluster of Sun E1 systems, and has been quite pleased.. We have 4 or 5 terabytes for our Unix machines.

[expert] User migration between two linux.
Dear all, Hi all, I guess i can ask this question here mandrake is similar to RH ?... I have two Rh6.2 system Kernel 2.2.14, (and I guess the installatoin disc are the same one too). I want to move: 1) User accounts (around 1200), and 2) Their files (webpage, email inbox) to the another RH system, where it has little users and files, and plenty free HHD space. Since the desination server has little users, i guess it is okay coz the userid would not overlay too much. (Userid below 500 are system account, and they have similar setting on the two system) My solution was: To append /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group to the desntination system. (with some manual editing) Outcome: It is fine for passwd and group file. But the /etc/shasow file is locked. I sued as root and checked lsattr, they went fine. I guess the kernel (or something is lock it up?). I tried fuser /etc/shadow and it gave no clue. Since i am not able to shutdown these two server for long time or dis- assemble them, what should i do if I want to do things this way? Please help and thanks. simonli.
RE: [expert] SMP systems (continued)
One of the more recent comparisons of Linux against NT said exactly the opposite... That Linux scales VERY well (2.4.x) with more than two processors, and that the task scheduler IS more efficient than NT... Kernels prior to 2.4 had a problem that was hampering the scheduler. As far as linear increase. This is probably true of ANY multi-cpu environment, including dual CPU's. You'll loose a little performance to OS, RAM and I/O overhead (it takes a lot to keep all those processors busy!) but multi-threaded applications will behave all that much better.
