[gentoo-user] Where did this volume come from?

2007-06-28 Thread Mike Mazur

Hi,

When I point Nautilus at location 'computer:///' I see my CD-ROM
drive, my filesystem, a network, and something that says '39.2 MB
Volume'. I'd like to mount this volume to see what's there but I can't
because I'm not root.

Where did this volume come from? How can I explore what's there as
root? Where does Nautilus look to display the contents of
'computer:///'?

Thanks,
Mike

Even worse! I detected that it's `rubygems-0.8.11-r6' that
hangs when it reads the gem tarfile.

So I decided to install version 0.9.4 of that. Now the
installation of rubygems itself hangs.

First, I thought this was caused by the old rubygems. So I
deinstalled that. Now I have neither!

Irrelevant (since it was mounted) -- except if it was mounted read
only. If the OP really ran an fsck on a writable filesystem, all kinds
of errors might have occured.

To the OP:
- was the partition mounted writable?
- what are you actually entering at the prompt (i.e. what runlevel)?
- did you try starting from a live CD and fsck'ing the -- unmounted --
  partitions?

tar it off, untar it back on.  I don't know of any tools to do that in a 
single stroke.

BTW, the crashes that I have experienced over the last 4 years or so, on good

I only keep my /usr/portage on it.

[gentoo-user] Seamonkey and saving images taking so long

2007-06-28 Thread Dale
Hi,

I have a question about this one.  I noticed a good while back that when
I try to save a image with Seamonkey, it takes a lot longer than it used
too.  I save them this way, right click on the image then click save
image as and in the pop up I click save.  After hitting the save button,
it takes several seconds, 5 or so, to save a image to disk.  I always
make sure the image is completely loaded since I am on dial-up.  It used
to do this really fast and I'm not sure what could be causing this.  It
also makes my CPU go to about 80% or so. 

This is some info about my system.  AMD 2500+ with 1Gb of ram.  I have a
two IDE UDMA drives on this rig.  More info:

[gentoo-user] Problem after 'fsck' on mounted filesystem

2007-06-28 Thread Xihong Yin

My Gentoo can not initialize. It first asks for runlevel. After type in a  runlevel, it says 
"no more processes left on this level" and then hangs. I had run "fsck" on the 
mounted filesystem. I think this is the problem. So how do I fix it? Should I reinstall the system?

thanks,
Xihong

Re: [gentoo-user] Performance with sata

2007-06-28 Thread Björn Ottervik
If i/o on a large scale is an issue I'd suggest xfs, tweaked to your
application o/c. One big advantage over other fs is that there is a tool
for online defragmentation, and that can be handy if you are concerned
with sustained transfer rates. Not that fragmentation is bad to begin
with; extents put leaps and bounds above ext2/3 in that division.
Processor load is a bit higher than, say, jfs - but overall the overhead
is very low and with some tweaking you'll be approaching raw i/o. More
on diffrent tweaking posibilities can be found in the mkfs.xfs manfile.

A few things to be aware of is the aggressive caching and blanking of
inconsistent areas after a log replay.

Personaly, I'd even go out of my way to avoid reiserfs in any
incarnation...

or you are using the wrong mount options ;)

btw, the first time you have an unclean reboot you'll wish you'd used a
journaling fs *g*

or reiser4

which survived several douzend hard resets the last two days.

Now i arrived at 60mb/sec using ext2 as filesystem.
That's better.

ext3 has too much overhead ...

the system is used to virtualise 4-5 machines with xen so i/o is an big
problem.

what is wrong with 36mb/sec?

100mb or 150mb/sec are peak numbers only reached when the disk-cache is
hit.

And when you have fragmented data something like 5mb/sec sustained is hard
to
achieve .

I'm using (or shortly will, if you check the mailinglists) DAR
to do backups. DAR also supports on-the-fly encryption using
blowfish.

I also had a look at duplicity, but I did not really like it.
Can't expand on that more, though.

[gentoo-user] Performance with sata

2007-06-28 Thread banym tuxaner

Hi,

i want to rise the performance on an mcp55 chip.

i became realy bad performance datas by testing the harddisks with bonnie++.
i is not possible to have 36m/s on a sata2 controller and harddisks.
someone who knows something about problems or some configuration tricks ?
