General :: Use "sar" Or Any Other Tools To Measure Cache Hit Ratios?

Jan 27, 2011

According to the manual of "sar" in Unix systems (computerhope.com/unix/usar.htm), it allows to determine the number of accesses to system buffers (lread and lwrite). Thus, we can easily calculate the cache hit ratio of I/Os via the system buffer.

However, "sar" in Linux only measures I/Os to physical devices (as bread and bwrite), instead of those to the system buffer (linux.die.net/man/1/sar)

I need to measure cache hit ratios for I/Os on Linux system buffer, and was wondering if there's a way to use "sar" or any other similar tools to determine such ratios.

Networking :: Tools To Measure Internet Speed ?

Aug 5, 2010

Is there some software to measure Internet speed and show where the slowest element is?

I use OpenSuse 11.1 and KDE although Im happy to set up a user using Gnome.

Just recently my browsing speed dropped to almost nothing ...I used [url] to measure my speed and it gave a very slow result 30kb/sec ....usually its around 3000kb/sec. I rang my ISP's helpdesk and they told me my ADSL connection was fine. Two minutes later it was back to normal!

I know the internet speed varies from time to time ...I guess depending on how many are using it and for what. But..I suspect that my ISP was restricting my speed and Im looking for a tool that will tell me which part of the internet is the "slowest"

I would also welcome pointers to information about internet speed and what causes it to change.

I want to measure the startup time of any GUI app (e.g. firefox) using the time(1) command. However, timing is measured until the app is closed, which has to be done manually by exiting it or clicking X.

How can I get the app to load, terminate immediately and give me the startup time?

Feb 9, 2010

Is there a way to get a summary of how much bandwidth a given process used on Linux after the process completes? I do not want a monitor, I want something I can look at after the task has completed..

Fedora :: Error: Caching Enabled But No Local Cache Of //var/cache/yum/updates-newkey

I know JohnVV. "Install a supported version of Fedora, like Fedora 11". This is on a box that has all 11 releases of Fedora installed. It's a toy and I like to play around with it.

Software :: Redirecting APT Cache - Can Redirect Cache Of Apt To A Specified Folder Either On Command Line Or Via A Config Setting?

Jan 5, 2011

I was laughing about klackenfus's post with the ancient RH install, and then work has me dig up an old server that has been out of use for some time. It has some proprietary binaries installed that intentionally tries to hide files to prevent copying (and we are no longer paying for support or have install binaries), so a clean install is not preferable.

Basically it has been out of commission for so long, that the apt-get upgrade DL is larger than the /var partition (apt caches to /var/cache/apt/archives).

I can upgrade the bigger packages manually until I get under the threshold, but then I learn nothing new. So I'm curious if I can redirect the cache of apt to a specified folder either on the command line or via a config setting?

General :: Windows - Using One Disk As Cache For Others

Jan 6, 2011

Given a PC with several hard drives:

Is it possible to use one fast disk as a giant file cache?

I.e. automatically copying frequently accessed data to that one disk, and transparently redirecting reads and writes to that disk, so that other drives would only have be accessed occassionally.

(writes would have to be forwarded to the other disks after a while of course)

Advantages:

The other drives could be powered down most of the time; reducing power, heat, noise speed of the other drives would not matter much. cache disk could be solid state.

How can I set such a system up?

What OS supports these options? Is this possible at all using Windows or Linux?

Example:

There are 3 disks with 1 Tb each. most of the files are only accessed very rarely, but about 5% of each disk is used frequently.

Which files are used frequently may change over time.

A solid state disk with 150GB should cache the currently frequently accessed files, so that access time is faster and the drives can be put into power saving mode.

General :: How To Check Squid Cache

Nov 11, 2010

I recently finished installing Squid 3.1.9 and I think I've done installing correctly with its feature of minor configuration changes. It accepted requests on port 3128 and created and the created some numerical or binary (I guess) files in /usr/local/squid/var/logs, My problem is how can I fully verify if the cache is really storing Internet Files? I've read some forums in the Internet replied to me to try the command: cat /usr/local/squid/var/logs/cache.logSo I did tried it and it gives me this output:

2010/11/11 18:04:49| store_swap_size = 0
2010/11/11 18:04:50| storeLateRelease: released 0 objects
2010/11/11 18:05:41| Squid is already running! Process ID 5458
