If you are using the standard kernel then ditch it and get 2.4.18 or later (I think 2.4.19 is slightly better yet). I had similar problems until I moved to 2.4.19 Also force an fsck of your filesystem it "could" be that you have a problem (unlikely) Ed -Original Message- From: Brent S.

For email, a very easy solution is to enable the IMAP mode of the exchange connector and then use any IMAP email client (Mozilla works quite well). You can also setup IMP or SquirrelMail that connects to the IMAP service and then your users also have a web method to access their email. -Ori

RE: hard drive performance

2002-10-01 Thread Edward Wildgoose
Dynamic drives under WinXP are a little bit like LVM. LVM is about how you can make a big partition on a couple of drives and then dynamically muck around with the filesystem inside. Something like a filesytem inside a filesystem. RAID is about physical implementation of these kinds of file

One requires a big server, and you have to hope that you don't screw up any updates. The other requires decent spec machines, and you have to update each machine seperately, ie more admin (plus it might need a reasonable disk in the server if you open a lot of files...) What more is there...

There are known VM issues (amongst other things) with this kernel - upgrade immediately! I have had a number of freezes that remained even after upgrading to 2.4.9-34 and in the end I went to 2.4.19 which "seems" to have sorted it (different VM code in this kernel) Ed W -Original Message

Agreed, all you will get is the updates from orig 7.3 to current 7.3. You could use Kpackage and point it at the 7.3 base ftp site plus the 7.3 updates ftp site. I use this to update odd packages, but there are more than a few which can't be upgraded due to significantly complicated dependenci

Ext 3 is identical to Ext2 with the exception that you add a "hidden" journal file. It would take someone better than me to fully describe how to switch from one to the other, but as long as you have a clean shutdown you could happily mount an ext3 filesystem as ext2 (the otherway round is als
