However, I would say NIS and LDAP are similar, but bind (i.e. DNS) serves a fundamentally different purpose. When using DHCP, is /etc/hosts redundant? Well, you won't /need/ to use it. You configure a server to assign IPs (DHCP) and automatically tell other computers which computer maps to which IPs (DNS). What is the optimal way to resolve names in a small but growing network? Depends how small, of course. But I would think a simple DNS/DHCP server like dnsmasq is reasonable for such a network. See http://www.linux.com/articles/149040 for a good start.

Try to understand if data is coming to your machine with tcpdump -i eth0 -n -n That was very informative, the major portion of the net traffic here is being generated by arp, scanning the local subnet asking whohas, getting to .254 and resuming at 1. That was so noisy if I saw anything from the router it scrolled offscreen so fast I couldn't read it. Try: tcpdump -i eth0 -n -n | grep \.514 Or you could grep based on your router's IP. That could be turned off because I use host files here for the majority of my stuff. That's not right. ARP resolves IPs to MAC addresses.

I'd like to move the contents to an spare 80GB ATA disk, /dev/hda, to make room for a full install of FC10 on the larger disk in preparation for ultimately getting the winxp install running under a linux based VM. From knoppix, I started by using ntfsresize to shrink the xp partition down to 20GB. That worked suprisingly fine. I then installed the smaller drive and used dd to copy over the image of the xp installation: dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hda bs=1000 count=2000 That was a bad idea. You've copied the MBR of hdb to the MBR of hda. That's why the hda disk thinks the disk is 150 GB. What you should do is zero the mbr of hda dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 Then, use GParted (or whatever) to create a partition on hda (probably hda1) of the exact same size as the old XP partition (probably hdb1) You may as well partition the other 60 GB of hda at the same time. Then, you should be able to do: dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=/dev/hda1 bs=512 to copy over the XP partition. As usual, you should do backups before such operations and understand the risks if you do not.

If you're going to use bs (byte-size) and count, use a sane value of bs like the the logical block size. Otherwise, just leave it out; there's no need. Reboot to new drive and all is well. As noted, you'll need to fix the MBR of hda with fixmbr (or use GRUB). Defragging is factored in somewhere prior to this operation. There is no need to defrag, since you've already done ntfsresize and are simply going to do a bit-for-bit copy from hdb1 to hda1. It might have helped to do a defrag /before/ ntfsresize (since you were squeezing the NTFS filesystem), but no point now. I think upon reboot this will trigger xp to perform a chkdisk. Possibly, due to the earlier ntfsresize. Does this make sense? Mostly.

I'm looking for something that might be more asynchronous/parallel, in that I'd like to have multiple processes each access a unique group of files from the given dir as fast as possible. If each process is accessing a unique group of files why do you need locking? Can you explain a bit more about what is going on? Yes, it seems like you're being deliberately vague. It's understandable if you can't disclose what you're working on for some reason. But in that case, don't expect useful help.

With Physical Address Extension, you can bring it up to 4 GB /per process/, and 64 GB total, but it's typically not worth the hassle.

Re: Encrypted partition backups.
Robin Laing wrote: Is there a tool that allows partition backups of only the changes as with incremental backups? Do we just have to clone the partition and make copies of that each time? You could simply create another encrypted partition (e.g. on USB) with different key, then use rdiff-backup to backup one to the other. Of course, they would both have to be mounted at the same time. I'm not sure if this is the best way, space-wise, but it's conceptually simple and I can't see how it would degrade security.

Is this a limitation involved in the file systems being used (ntfs) or rsync? One problem is despite NTFS allegedly supporting UTF-16, it actually imposes no valid/invalid character set. According to http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2006/09/10/748699.aspx , NTFS allows any sequence of unsigned short values which are not limited to valid Unicode characters. Thus, the actual encoding of filenames is not always UTF-16 (it depends on the locale of the system that created the files), which naturally imposes problems when transferring to and from other systems (the main reason Unicode was invented). Even if the encoding uses only valid UTF-16 characters, that does not mean UTF-16 is necessarily the /correct/ interpretation of such characters.

Re: MP3 playback in XMMS
Alan Cox wrote: should have their own service, so if say, I want to search the Fedora 9 repo I don't have to dig through ASPLinux distro packages and other cruft. This should be core functionality. I believe the assumption is that users should be clever enough to type the word fedora in the system box as the search instructions tell you. Actually, the main search box has no such instructions, just Search It does tell me more than I need to know about their ISP, though. Given that rpmfind predates the existance of things like Fedora or Ubuntu Oldies aren't always goodies. and is extremely comprehensive and (if you can work a web form with instructions on it) can find things by distribution it seems rather odd to suggest Fedora should build a pointless clone of the service. I'm not suggesting they build a clone of rpmfind. I'm suggesting they build an interface that's useful. Rpmfind has many problems. URLs like http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/10/i386/ftp-0.17-48.fc10.i386.html are unusable compared to http://packages.debian.org/etch/ftp (or http://packages.debian.org/etch/i386/ftp/download). Telling me the only file in a package is called Ù] is not all that helpful (http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/sourceforge/f/fe/fedorafrog/fedora_frog-1.0-8.0.3.i386.html) The search by distribution interface (http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=submit=Search) isn't on the main page and provides no drop down for avaialable distros. If you type something like Fedora 9, it truncates it to Fedora. It's one thing to say no one has time/resources to build something better now. It's quite another to claim this is adequate.
