Re: Size of swap Partition
On Tue, 7 May 2002 11:28:15 +0530 [EMAIL PROTECTED] quietly intimated: Placed At : Size of swap partition is usually recommended to be 2 * (size of ram). But recently i went thru one article wherein it was mentioned that redhat linux wont be looking to swap beyond 128mb even though we give the swap partition size of much more than that. I have here a dell poweredge 2450 box with twin pentium-3 733hz processors and 1gb ram. It really makes me wonder whether I should give it 2gb swap space ..?? Any advices please ?? Thanks, Ramesh C Pathak This keeps coming up, and I don't know why people keep writing it and confusing people. In the 2.2.X kernel I was doing some heavy duty compiling once. I had at that time about 500MB swap. The compile kept failing (not to mention the system was running really slow in the interim). I finally added another 500MB swap just to test things. The compile completed successfully. This was with 96MB hard RAM. The extra 500MB should have been overkill and unused swap. Other than compiling that one program it mostly sat useless. But, the points are, the claim you read is false, and the amount needed can (but seldom does to a large degree) vary with the conditions. The rule of thumb is, 2-2.5 times RAM. I currently have 384MB installed and 1GB swap. Most of my swap never gets used under most conditions. I've had it up to about 700MB used once in the last 6 months. This on a 2.4.X kernel which supposedly makes even more use of swap than the 2.2.X kernels did. Do you need all of that swap space? I don't know. The rule would say yes, though I admit it sure sounds like a lot. Maybe someone else can shed some light on that. I personally wanted to go after the 128MB myth. That was true at one time (sort of). That hasn't been true for quite some time. -- A conclusion is simply the place where someone got tired of thinking. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

As you say, the 128Mb limit is long dead. 2 to 2.5 is a good rule of thumb - if you need more than that then _typically_ you will be thrashing and performance will suck anyway. The main exception is big, often idle and for extended periods, tasks with state that's a pain to reestablish. For example, supposing you have some chunky things (live VMware sessions, big and remote VNC desktops, a large ongoing project with a big image in the gimp, etc) where you legitimately have a big fat program which _on_its_own_ fits ok into memory, but not with everything else. Supposing you have a few of these, but you only ever use one at a time, and that for a while at any one sitting. In that case it's well worth having lots of swap so you can have these things sitting there. When you sawitch tasks you'll sit for some time while lots of paging happens, and then you can proceed. So in short, if all your programs are generally active, having more swap than RAM just stops things crashing from lack of memory, but will soon thrash. But for some workloads where you're effectively using your swap for _swap_ as opposed to _paging_, it's worth it.

A daily mirroring means that you connect to the ftp site, get a listing of the updates present, compare it with the updates present locally and download any differences between the two. Even if there are no updates to download, the listing will still have been transfered and this results in a 120K download. This may not seem like much but multiply it by numbers-of-users and times-per-week and you start getting into numbers that only a big site can handle. If the site you're mirroring from is a small one, it would be far more polite to ask the ftp admin for permission and the most appropriate time interval to do this at. we have around 40 redhat boxes and about to ad 10 more and to think that everytime I add another I would have to re-download the updates is seriously crazy. I only have a dsl connection at the office. Obviously, mirroring is the best solution in this case.

partition problems
Alternative subject lines: Ooops Oh Shit! AGGG!!! I want my mummy Initial situation Drive 1 20GB, with Linux installation and 8GB for Win98. Drive 2 8GB, with Windows partition containing Flight Sim and Linux backup. Various problems with Windows were traced to 'D' drive which was proved when scandisk lock up the PC every time it checked 'D'. I shut down to dos, reformatted 'D' and rebooted windows. Scandisk started complaining about the last block on 'D' not being available. From Linux I did some checks and all looked fine, so using the linux FDISK I deleted /dev/hdb1. I them rebooted Windows to fdisk/reformat 'D' Windows wouldn't boot., complaining that the OS was missing - I called in some help. It turned out that /dev/hdb1 was actually drive 'C' and /dev/hda5 was actually drive 'D'. So that's 'C' on the second drive and 'D' on the first - something I've never seen before and something I was unaware of. I'd removed the wrong partition but it didn't really matter as there was not much on Windows that I needed to keep and what there was I'd got a copy of on Linux. We then decided to physically swap the drives making the Windows disk drive 1, and then re-install windows from scratch. Once again, scandisk compained about the last block being missing on drive 'D', so Andrew fired up fdisk (DOS version) and removed the vfat partition. Unfortunately, it proceeded to remove all partitions in the extened partition -removing all of my Linux except the boot partition. So, now we have the situation that we have no partition table. I know that if you have the start and end cylinder numbers you can just re-create the partition table entry. I do know the layout (shown below), but do not know any start/end cylinder numbers. Has anyone got any ideas how I can find them? Based on some info we found on the net, we have found that if you know the start number, you can create a partition bigger than the original, run dumpe2fs on the partition and it will give you the correct size and therefire the end cylinder. We then set about starting at the end of the disk, creating a partition 2490-2491 and tried dumpe2fs, then repeated for partition 2489-2491 etc. until we got to creating the partition 3-2491. Unfortunately, we didn't find anything. Layout of disk hda11-2 boot/boot hda23-2491 extended hda53-? vfat/mnt/win_c (turned out it was actually 'D') hda6?-? linux / hda7?-? swap hda8?-? linux /home (I could live with just getting back /home) I've actually done the drive swap, so the affected drive is now hdb, and I've got a full Linux install on what used to be the windows disk so that I've got all the tools available (hdb was disconnected while I did the install so I know it hasn't shagged it any more that it already was) -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Problem with RedHat's `network' initscript
There seems to be a problem with /etc/rc.d/init.d/network on various RedHat distributions. I'm not sure if there is already a workaround or if I'm simply just missing something. In any case, please let me know :) Problem description: RedHat's initscript script does the following in this order: 1) bring up interface 2) bring up default route 3) add static routes This is the order I think it should be done in or at least how my network configuration requires it to be done in: 1) bring up interface 2) add static routes 2) bring up default route Or something like that. With our network setup here I cannot add the default route before I didn't add the resp. network (static route). The next is, when I use `any' in the /etc/sysconfig/static-routes I get a `SIOCADDRT: File exists' error upon running the network script. When I use `eth0' instead the route isn't set at all (and I couldn't find any reference to a resp. command in the initscript either). So for now I added the static route and the default gateway to /etc/rc.d/rc.local but I don't like that way :( Someone help please? :) --Lars Lars Rößiger http://www.d33.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] D33 InterNet Service GmbH --- Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, dont fix it.

Re: Size of swap Partition
Hi all, If you are not sure about how much disk space to devote to swap space, you can be empirical about it. Install MRTG, either from the Redhat RPM or from source (compiles cleanly) and write some scripts to monitor memory and swap space usage. After some time, check the graphs to see how much swap space you have effectively used. Alternatively, you can use the sar package to check on this values. You can monitor almost any system parameter you like this way to help you make better hardware upgrade decissions about your system. Cheers, -- Javier Gostling Ingeniero de Sistemas Virtualia S.A.

Hi, I've been using Pegasus Direct satellite internet for a few months now. As far as I know it doesn't support linux either. I have 3 computers networked together and receive the satellite transmissions on one with an AMD Athlon 1.4G processor. The others, one similar to the first dual boots to RH7.2 and win98. The 2nd is an old IBM Aptiva 486 boosted to 100. Without any manual configuration they receive and send using the satellite. Only the one with the direct connection to the satellite receiver gets the full speed of the satellite. The others receive at 20K or so. Planned on using the 486 for a firewall, but I can't find a 16 bit network card that is 10/100 only 10. I didn't know whether that would slow things down too much or not so haven't tried to setup the satellite receiver on it yet. All 3 computers dual boot with RH7.2 and win98se.

Re: partition problems
Gary, you should find somewhere the description of partition tables, there's a difference between the primary partition entries and the logical volume entries. for what I understand, you tried to create a primary partition that would have had to map a logical volume, maybe this could explain why you didn't find anything. also, you're giving a layout which is I suppose in cylinder units. sometime weird things happen if you allocate partitions (or logical volumes) giving partitions extents in other units (MB). you should have to remember how you initially allocated and use the same unit, if you want to have a chance getting a good mapping. what I'd do just before cryin' for mum' whould be to write a script (you said that you had an up'n running linux on hda) that would create a partition on hdb from cylinder X to last one and call mount (-t e2fs), looping from 3 to last - 1, and stop if the mount succeeds (this should happen only for your old / and /home). I don't know if fdisk has some kind of batch mode, but there are tools that can be command line driven (of course I don't remember a name). good luck ... We then decided to physically swap the drives making the Windows disk drive 1, and then re-install windows from scratch. Once again, scandisk compained about the last block being missing on drive 'D', so Andrew fired up fdisk (DOS version) and removed the vfat partition. Unfortunately, it proceeded to remove all partitions in the extened partition -removing all of my Linux except the boot partition. So, now we have the situation that we have no partition table. I know that if you have the start and end cylinder numbers you can just re-create the partition table entry. I do know the layout (shown below), but do not know any start/end cylinder numbers. Has anyone got any ideas how I can find them? Based on some info we found on the net, we have found that if you know the start number, you can create a partition bigger than the original, run dumpe2fs on the partition and it will give you the correct size and therefire the end cylinder. We then set about starting at the end of the disk, creating a partition 2490-2491 and tried dumpe2fs, then repeated for partition 2489-2491 etc. until we got to creating the partition 3-2491.

My gut feeling says that the software raid tools would not destroy the data from the first disk, but just mirror it to the second one. But again, if it trashes your harddrive, you are on your own. Can you afford some sort of backup? One trick that I would suggest is (and you are still on your own if it fails): - install the second drive. - make a raid 1 with only that drive in it. - make file system on that raid device (usually md0) - copy all your files to that raid device. - check if the files are intact. - erase your old hardisk, and then hotadd it to the raid device. If step two fails, then you can probably create the raid 1 with 2 devices, that second drive and one bogus drive (/dev/hdsomething). Your raid will be in degraded mode when it is created. When both drives are in the raid, then do a hotremove fror the bogus drive. You can play arround with software raid tools by creating several small partitions in the new harddrive and then raid them. See if raid tools would allow you to do raid 1 one device. See if it will allow data in the primary partition if it is raided with other device. If you do these tests, let me know your results.

Is there any software you would advise me to use ? minicom I installed and configured minicom and tried to access my modem through the COM1 port. [root@server /dev]# minicom Device /dev/ttyS0 lock failed: Operation not permitted. Any idea why it isnt working ? The cable could be the guilty one ?

Re: Remotely Start NetScape
First export the display that X is running on. It's something like :0 or 0.0, but I forget exactly. Type set and look for DISPLAY under X to see what yours runs on. So if it's :0, you'd do: # export DISPLAY=:0 # netscape I did it once on another system I was working on. I was logged in on another terminal and I got an X program running on someone else's display. Not the most secure, but it worked at the time :) On Mon, 6 May 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear all, I need to remotely start my Netscape on Redhat 7.1 so that I can view the Netscape browser on my local machine.
