How do I improve my file server performance. I've many large files in directories and how do I speed up access time? The -D option causes e2fsck to try to optimize all directories, either by reindexing them if the filesystem supports directory indexing, or by sorting and compressing directories for smaller directories.

Linux Optimize Directories ( File Access Time ) in ext3 Filesystem

Hello,

I recently had to replace my motherboard so I went ahead and re-installed Linux to avoid any problems that may arise. I switched from Gentoo to Debian because I'd had no problems setting Debian up on my laptop and don't have time to go through all the intense setup of Gentoo again right now. After re-installing, however, I ran into problems getting the machine to work on my apartment's router. If it were just me living here, I'd turn off the encryption until I could figure out what the problem is, but the guy I'm renting from insists on leaving WPA up...

Ok, basic problem: wpa_supplicant connects to the router, the psk gets accepted, but then when I try to get an IP with dhclient, I can't get a dhcpoffer response from the router.

When I was young I wished there were someone who could help me learn about computers. Now everyone has a computer, and should be using Linux, but using Linux isn't an immediate option for sufferers of attention deficit disorder (ADD), comprising the vast majority of Windows users, because it isn't entertaining, and making noises. I do not have sound since I moved to a new location, and I haven't needed it for over a year, so I haven't hooked it up yet.

Safeguard your data with the Encrypted File System (EFS), a new AIX 6.1 security feature, and get a comprehensive picture on the configuration of EFS and its usage. EFS can store the content of a file in an encrypted format at the file system level. If you’re new to EFS, this article is a good starting point for reviewing the need for EFS, its features, and most commonly used commands.

I've installed, required by dependencies, the kde-icons-oxygen packet in one
recent dist-upgrade (Sid)

But I can't see some Oxygen icons, i.e. trash
(/usr/share/icons/oxygen/48x48/places/user-trash.png) after the «oxygen»
selection in KDE Control Panel. Now my desktop is a Crystal and Oxygen mix.
Is normal? Thanks :)

I run KDE 3.5.8.

Vlogger is a little tool with which you can write lighttpd logs broken down by virtual hosts and days. With vlogger, we need to put just one accesslog.filename directive into our global lighttpd configuration, and it will write access logs for each virtual host and day. Therefore, you do not have to split lighttpd's overall access log into access logs for each virtual host each day, and you do not have to configure lighttpd to write one access log per virtual host (which could make you run out of file descriptors very fast). At the end of this tutorial I will show you how to use webalizer to create statistics from the lighttpd access logs.

When i installed etch i used the 40MB online installer and it gave me a K7 kernel.

After a couple of days i screwed up my install (being a noob) so decided to install again and downloaded CD1 to save some time.

the CD installed with a 486 compiled kernel.

so i got myself a K7 kernel and replaced it (via synaptic)

my system is stable and works well.

this morning i went to do my first "apt-get dist-update" and it wanted to update a 486 kernel.

how do i make my install see that i now have a K7 kernel? it was installed correctly via synaptic, but i had to change lilo.conf and myself.

$uname -r
2.6.18-6-k7

it wants to download 2.6.18-6-486

to me, this looks like the K7 kernel wasnt set up correctly and synaptic still thinks i am using 2.6.18-5-486

cheers

I am using the current Debian Testing as a distribution tree and have recently updated the system. Since that last update I continue regularly receiving the following errors:

Jan 31 10:18:19 lila kernel: [ 44.844774] exim4[3153] general protection eip:b785f4ec esp:bfba2ff8 error:0
Jan 31 10:18:42 lila kernel: [ 67.911708] apache2[3583] general protection eip:b7bf44ec esp:bfe746b8 error:0

Something seems to make apache2 and exim4 to sigfault after that particular update and I do suspect that it has something to do with libldap2 libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap and in general with daemons or programs which need to fetch user data from my ldap directory which otherways seems to work correctly.

I'm trying to install etch onto my hard disk, without using a CD.
I'm using grub to start linux and this is the section of the menu.lst file.

title find and boot Linux with menu.lst
fallback 1
find --set-root /boot/vmlinuz
savedefault --wait=2
configfile /boot/menu.lst

I have also tried the bootimg.gz, initrd.gz, and the .iso file.

It does boot Windows 98

It prints a few messages to the screen, the last thing it prints is:
starting cmain()
then the grub menu comes on the screen again.

Anyone know what commands I need to give grub to get the install to begin?

I can'n install debian (the last stable, 4.0r2) becouse installer, after selection language, can't find dvd-rom :(
I load with DVD.
I have IDE DVD-ROM Pioneer DVR-111(D?), but I changed frimware to 111L (for lableflash activaton). So, maybe this is the reason.
Maybe possible to select the driver (or drive) manually?

Hi,

KDE doesn't manage to automount removable devices. When I plug in an USB key,
I'm invited to choose if I want to open the device in a new window or do
nothing. When I choose "open the device in a new window", it fails with the
following error:

"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing
codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found
in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so"

In dmesg, I have the following message when I plug in the device:

scsi9 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 11
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
Vendor: Model: USB DISK 2.0 Rev: PMAP
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00

After reading Part 1: Install and set up Castor, and Part 2: Marshall and unmarshall XML, in this series, you should be comfortable using Castor to convert from XML to Java, and then back again. In Part 3, you'll learn to add flexibility to your functionality, through Castor mapping files. You'll no longer be constrained by the names of elements in your XML document, or by the member variable names in your Java classes.

This tutorial series covers how to get started with Java Server Faces (JSF) technology, a server-side framework that offers a component-based approach to Web user-interface development. Part 1 gets you started with a JSF 1.2 overview and a basic application. This sequel gives you a firm grasp of JSF's more-advanced features: custom validators, converters, and phase listeners. Along the way you'll gain an understanding of the JSF application life cycle.

Hi all,

I need to import many zone files in Win 2k3 to Bind.
"Bind" does not accept the format of these files, and I can not write by hand.
Do you know any tool or script to convert formats in zone files?

Thank you all.

Hi!
I'm beginner in Linux and ask for support in first installation.
I got the old Compaq Armada 1130T sligtly upgrated:
- Petnium 120 MHz
- 48 M RAM (extended)
- 6.5 G HD (extended, empty)
- FDD
- no CD
- PCMCIA LAN card by Compex.
My intention was to install Stable Debian by net installation with floppy installer.
Last 2 days all my attempts to start installation faced the same result:

Press F1 for help, or ENTER to boot:
Loading Linux...................
Loading initrd.gz....
At that point all hangs up.

Could you advice what shall I do to proceede with installation, please.

I tried to upgrade from Sarge to Etch but didn't reconfigure my lilo or upgrade my kernel first before rebooting(I know, bad idea). When rebooted, I got the dreaded loading "Li" and that's it.

I figured out that Lilo was broken so I got the latest version of Knoppix (rescue disk) and copied the Lilo from it back to my machine. It'll now boot and run almost normally, but I can't update anything. I need to update my kernel and glibc but apt-get and aptitude just cut out with every attempt (even apt-get -f install doesn't work). I get all sorts of dependancy errors I belive are mainly based on glibc needing to be updated.

I was given an old computer, and to bring it somewhat up into the modern age decided Linux would be a good idea. First off, some specs (either taken from Compaq's website, or directly from the parts themselves):

Is it okay to use different brands of hard drives on the same IDE cable? I have a Maxtor 40GB, ATA/100, 5400 rpm drive set as master and I need to use a Western Digital 40GB, ATA/100, 5400 rpm drive as the slave drive. Is that safe to do or will it blow out something in one of the drives or something on my mobo? Thankx for your help.

Hello
I have pppoe server with about 200-500 clients online - all of them
have public IP adresses and I use a "proxyarp" option in my pppoe
server what means the same as proxy_arp in /proc/sys/net but only for
my pppX interfaces (not for eth0, eth1 etc )

A typical entry in arptable looks like this :

? (217.10.10.10) at * PERM PUP on eth0

Some of my clients have long uptime of their routers (i suppose this
is the cause) and after some time they cannot contact with other
machines in my public subnet 217.10.10.x

When i tried to troubleshoot the problem i've found that machine's
that they can;t reach have an "" arp entry like :

? (217.10.10.10) at on eth1

then i've checked on the main router (pppoe-server)
