new one indeed, but heavily modified and extended by rik van riel,
author of the original vm. you can find his patch posted periodically to
the lkml mailing list under the heading 'rmap' [short for reverse
mapping - mapping from pages in memory to the process that owns them].

here's what his latest announcement said:

The second maintenance release of the 11th version of the reverse
mapping based VM is now available.
This is an attempt at making a more robust and flexible VM
subsystem, while cleaning up a lot of code at the same time.
The patch is available from:

to me that would seem to point to bugs in your code, shlomi. as far as i
understnad, IP-Noise should have no business with the vm, only using its
exported interfaces. what exactly where the problems? [offlist if you'd
like].

As a person who always loves to think that my machine can do what Sun E10K 
can do (just kidding) - I love to chalk it all the way - Graphics, network, 
sound, processor - all to be used extensively and parallel.

Back then Redhat gave me an internal copy of 2.4.9-9 that they told me that 
have been passed their stress testing - well, it didn't pass my and thanks to 
Rik and Alan - it has been fixed. Of course I'm not trying to claim I'm 
better then Red Hat in testing, but I do have my own share of stress testing 
that I'm doing. It could fail to others of course (anyone wants to contribute 
a PC with 4GB of RAM machine for stress testing? I got an empty power outlet 
here ;)

Yeah, and me to send another bunch of C.V's, make a real backup of my live 
system, and start playing with realtime scheduling a bit (1ms sounds good, 
compared to Windows 32ms)..

I'm rather confused at the moment. Does this kernel contain the new
Virtual Memory manager from Andrea Archangeli or does it use the
original VM that was present in the older 2.4.x releases?

I know that I could not get the IP-Noise kernel module to run on the AA

i find your use of 2.4.18pre3-ac2 and 'stable' in the same sentance
amusing, if a bit oxymoronic, since that kernel has been out for all of

no need to gzip. zcat does the job fine. newcomers to patch might want
to pass to it the --dry-run option first, to verify the patch will apply
cleanly.

Stable kernel update

2002-01-14 Thread Hetz Ben Hamo

Hi People,

After much more stress tests with the new VM (36 hours tests and rapid emails 
swapping) I'm happy to announce:

Kernel 2.4.17 + Marcello's pre3 + Alan Cox ac2 patch = kernel 2.4.18-pre3-ac2 
is the the most stable tests with the new VM, after 12 hours of heavy stress 
testing (tests include: parallel compiling X + KDE + running OpenGL demos + 
live file system backup)..

So, if you want to compile it - then:
1. grab kernel 2.4.17
2. grab kernel 2.4.18pre3 patches from v2.4/testings/patch-2.4.18-pre3.tar.gz
3. grab Alan's AC2 patch

Apply them all (first open the 2.4.17, then gzip -d & apply Marcello's patch, 
then gzip & apply Alan's patch)..

The above kernel got also support for 130+ GB hard drives (like Maxtor's new 
ones)

Thanks,
Hetz

I was hopping to have it cheaper. From memory, the short phone poll

  They were so expensive that I immediately removed any mental record

* Even electronics, 22 Har Zion blvd, Tel-Aviv, 03-5372172:

  cheap cat5 cable: 2 NIS/m; more quality one: 3 NIS/m.
  RJ45 plugs: 1 NIS per unit.
  Crimping tool: 140 NIS. He claims this is high quality tool which can 
also
 crimp RJ11 plugs.
  This shop is the only one in this short list that might have premade 
cables.

* Simantov, Volfson 61 street, Tel-Aviv 03-5375002:

  cat5 cable: 4 NIS/m.
  RJ45 plugs: 0.40 NIS per unit.
  Crimping tool: Not selling this item. 

* RadioShack: Ayalon Mall, Ramat-Gan, 03-6199929:

  cat5 cable: packages of 100m cable length, each one costs 100 NIS.
  RJ45 plugs: are currently not in stock, should have them in a couple 
of weeks.
  Seller does not remember the former price.
  Crimping tool: Should get another shipment in a couple of weeks. 
Seller seems
 to remember that privuiosly the price was 45 NIS.
 
I believe those prices are VAT excluded.

In Linux, or in Unix in general, you can get all the information about a file
by the stat(2) function, and utilities like `ls' or `find' just use it. As you
can see from the manual of stat(2), which is pretty elaborate, file creation
time is not available. On each file or directory you have three times: atime --
time of last access, mtime -- time of last modification, ctime -- time of last
change. stat(2) explains exactly what each one means. For example, mtime is
changed when a file is written into, or a directory is modified by adding a
file into it. However it does not change e.g when the file mode (rwx) is
changed.  ctime, however, will change in either case. Again, you can read in
stat(2) exactly what is available, and either ls or find will print it for you
if you wish. But, file creation time is not available, and once the file is
modified, the creation ("initial modification") is lost.

However, while writing this reply, I found out that the 
header file has the structure of the inode on the disk, and the time fields it
has are
__u32   i_atime;/* Access time */
__u32   i_ctime;/* Creation time */
__u32   i_mtime;/* Modification time */
__u32   i_dtime;/* Deletion Time */

I don't have any information about these, and how to access them. If somebody
can enlighten us, I'll be grateful.

Kol tuv,

Zvi.

there is no way to see creation time only change time (ctime) and access
time (atime)

the command is :

ls -l --time=ctime ( or --time=atime)

Can you elaborate? The find info pages say

   Each file has three time stamps, which record the last time that
   certain operations were performed on the file:

 1. access (read the file's contents)
 2. change the status (modify the file or its attributes)
 3. modify (change the file's contents)

There is no "creation" filestamp, IIRC, struct inode only has atime,
ctime, and mtime, as above. Gurus, please confirm or deny?

What exactly happens?

I don't know automake, but libtool should not come instead of ar. It
should come *before* it. The command that you should run is:

libtool ld 

Use 'make -n' to see what exactly gets called.

Try using 'find' instead of 'ls'. The option -printf is very powerful.

I'm not sure, though, how to list only the files in the current directory,

RFC: kapm-idled

2002-01-14 Thread Tzafrir Cohen

Hi

I only recently started using kernel 2.4, and only this morning bothered
to find out what is this strange "kapm-idled" process that takes so much
of my CPU time. Finding this was a mere google search for "kapm-idled",
but anyway, I thought that this should appear in the FAQ:

http://www.iglu.org.il/faq/cache/172.html

Is that correct? Any comments?

Specifically: it is a bug of a process manager to report kapm-idled's CPU
time as the time in which the CPU is busy. The two I use are qps (1.9.7)
and top (of procps 2.0.7 from Mandrake 8.1), and both of them have
reported the time used by kapm-ideld as busy time.

Let me repeat my question: what tools can read/write RTF (English)
under Linux? StarOffice does, and KWord doesn't, AFAIK. Anything *but*
SO?

I wonder if this is worthwhile. You gave a rather long list of tools
that don't do what I asked. Given that latex2rtf and rtf2latex don't
work at all (last time I checked - a few months ago - their
documentation even warned about it, and I verified that by installing
and trying them), the only stuff to check is abiword and ted...

Thanks,
