Dec 25, 2010I am going to use "pthread_setaffinity_np" to bind a thread to a specific core. My application has two threads. I have used mutex to assign a specific id to each thread and then bind that thread to a core different from another core. but it seems that the os assigns both thread to one core.What should I do to bind each thread to a specific core?
View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: NTFS - Marking Sectors Bad ?
Feb 20, 2011I have a massive ZFS array on my fileserver. Whenever a disk reports bad sectors to smartmon, I order a replacement, and I shelve the failing one.
And by "shelving the failing one", I mean that I give it a low-level format if applicable, or a destructive badblocks run to possible claim spare sectors to replace the bad ones, then use it to dump my DVDs (and lately BluRays) on, so that I can use it with my HTPC and bring it with me when going to my friends to watch movies. It's just a really easy and portable way to watch movies with XBMC. I have the stuff on pressed discs already, so I'm not dependent on their reliance, and the dying drive just gets a hospice life serving as quick-access media storage. Keeping in mind Google's reports that drives are 39x more likely to die within 60 days after their first SMART error, I'm expanding that period by the fact that these drives mostly remain on their shelves and are only plugged into the SATA bay once or twice every year.
I'm just saying this to make clear that I'm not confused about these drives dying, and I'm not looking to elongate their lives ;)
So. Sometimes these drives, after a badblocks run, simply claim fresh sectors from the spare pool, but sometimes there aren't any left, and I face the fact that there are bad sectors in my FS. That's not a problem if you use one of a set of linux filesystems, as mkfs.* often takes a badblocks list as input. But seeing as I sometimes bring a drive or two to my girlfriend's (Mac) or one of my friends (usually Windows), I've decided to use NTFS for these things. Up untill now, when a drive had unrelocatable bad sectors, I've just written data to it, re-read it, and files that were bad were put in a "BAD_SECTOR_FILES" folder on the drive.
Sure, it works, but it would be really nice to be able to just mark those sectors bad instead. It's a lot of hassle the other way around.
So I read some posts, of which most quickly switch subject to the often accurate one of "replace your drive!", and some suggest spinrite, but really, I don't see why I should pay that much money for such a trivial task.
The alternative is to use ext3, but I'd like to hear if someone knows how I can feed badblocks output to mkfs.ntfs, so that the bad blocks aren't used. Or if there are other tools (I could use Windows in a VM) that do the same. I'm confused about chkdsk, it seems the bad sectors thing is FAT only?
General :: Manually Marking A Filesystem As Clean
Dec 24, 2010I run Linux Slackware 13.1. I have a hard drive with a ext2 filesystem, and I would like to mark the filesystem as Clean without running FSCK on it. I think I can do that with the debugfs command, but in the help there seem to be only a command to mark the filesystem as Dirty?? Is there a way to manually mark a ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem as Clean?

Feb 6, 2011I have checked the yum.log file and the last time an update was performed was Jan 6, 2011. I am the only person who administers this server and I do it remotely via SSH. No one has GUI access to this. At a minimum, the kernel version is older than the latest release. This is the first time since I brought this server online in 2009 that a monthly yum update didn't produce at least a dozen package updates. I've tried disabling the Priorities plugin (as well as rearranging priorities) and I get the same result: no updates available. For the record, I did spend quite a bit of time Googling this problem and doing a forum search here. I found nothing applicable to my particular situation. Here's the output of yum update:

Networking :: Route Type Unreachable Overriding Local Packet Generation For Marking Packets
Jun 16, 2010My issue is with linux routing tables using iproute2, coupled with the iptables MARK target. When I create a rule to lookup a table with iproute2, and the routing table routes an address as type unreachable (or blackhole, or prohibit), if a higher priority rule does a lookup to another table that routes the address as type unicast but that higher priority rule also matches on a fwmark, the packet to that address is never generated locally to even go through iptables packet filtering/mangling in order to mark it, because the lower priority rule that doesn't match on a fwmark says it's unreachable. For example, I have 2 rules installed with ip:
Code:
10: from all fwmark 0x1000 lookup routeit
20: from all lookup unreach
ip route list table routeit
[code]....
Now, in the packet filter, I have an iptables rule to mark packets to destination 10.0.0.5 with 0x1000 in the mangle table and OUTPUT chain. When I generate a packet locally to 10.0.0.5, all programs get ENETUNREACH (tested with strace). However, if I take out the route entry that 10.0.0.0/8 is unreachable, it all works fine and the routes in the routeit table get applied to marked packets (I know because my default gateway would not be 1.2.3.4, but wireshark shows packets being sent to the MAC address of 1.2.3.4).
The best I can surmise is that when generating a packet locally, the kernel tests the routing tables in priority order but without any mark to see if it is unreachable/blackhole/prohibit, and doesn't even bother generating the packet and traversing iptables rules to see if it would eventually be marked and thus routed somewhere. Then I assume after that step, it traverses iptables rules, then traverses the routing tables again to find a route. So is there any way around this behavior besides adding fake routes to the routing table (e.g. routing 10.0.0.5 to dev lo in the unreach table in this example)?

May 12, 2010I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. Recently after an upgrade my Ubuntu started running in low graphics mode. After searching through forums, I could finally fix it.I'm not sure what exactly fixed it. I first changed the window manager to metacity. Run the following command:Code:sudo nvidia-xconfig --composite --render-accel --add-argb-glx-visualsAnd then changed window manager to compiz and desktop effects could be enabled.The problem is, everytime I reboot, its again running in low graphics mode, desktop effects cannot be enabled, and I have to do all the troubleshooting again! Any idea how to permanently fix this?EDIT: I found that the graphics is reset even without typing the command everytime. But I still have to switch back and forth from compiz window manager to set it all right!
View 7 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Cautious About Rsync After Re-install Of OS SOLVED?
Jan 5, 2010I am using a simple rsync script to backup a directory on my home computer that is it's own partition of the hard drive. The sync computer is remote via ssh. Now, i want to upgrade my operating system, i would not touch the partition that i have my stuff mounted on, but want to be able to continue to sync with the remote backup computer.
The first time i used rsync to sync the two drives, it took forever, even though there was almost no change between them. I guess my question is... what files or configs do i need to backup so that when i run my rsync program after i boot into the new OS, rsync does not think it is the first time running, and instead just syncs as normal?
Debian :: Solved - Grub2 Cannot Find Root Device?
Jul 23, 2011I have a raid array using mdadm made up of two drives. The drives have two parts, the first for boot information and the 2nd for LVM. Everything but /boot is under LVM management. Originly the two drives were hooked up to a sata controller in a computer with no on-board sata. However I was not able to get the computer to boot to a sata drive off of that controller. So there was an IDE drive with the MBR that loaded grub.
Now the computer in that setup seems to have died. So the drives were moved to another computer with an on-board sata controller and now the bootup works as far as getting to the grub menu. However after the grub menu the error message "Cannot find root device"
I found the boot info script [URL].. note at the time that was run the computer was running with one drive that has a full Debian install with the raid drive in question mounted and chrooted into. The script was ran from the chroot envirment.[URL]..

Jan 8, 2011So far I have just used the CLI to upgrade KDE, and I get notified of upgrades once a day, where a popup shows when new upgrades are available. However, when I push the "install upgrades" button, nothing happens. In Gnome, all I had to do was click the update notifier and click install. I am pretty confident the same is posible in KDE4. I have searched the web trying to find a solution, but I can't find anything. I am probably missing some packages. Can someone help me configure:

2. GUI updates for the KDE4 desktop.
OpenSUSE Install :: Booting 11.2 On HP Dv4 1548dx - Partly Solved?
Dec 22, 2009I've been running Ubuntu 9.10 on the notebook for a week. The OpenSuSE 11.2 install goes fine, but on first boot it only goes 8-9 seconds into the bootup and hangs. Sometimes I can get it to boot by adding "acpi=off" to the FAILSAFE options.
To be fair, I seemed to have an intermittent problem with Ubuntu 9.10 in a very similar way... But it was temporary, I have not had it since around the time I ran updates. I never needed acpi=off. Appears to have the newest BIOS. Several items on the "firmware test" on the CD boot display "fail".

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Plasma Crash Solved By Downgrading NVIDIA Drivers
Jan 30, 2011It's been mentioned several times in this forum already that downgrading to NVIDIA driver version 256.53 can solve random-seeming plasma crashes (the error dialog box usually mentions a "floating point error").So, I upgraded openSUSE 11.3 to KDE 4.5.5 today and couldn't add a clock - any clock - to my desktop or panel without a plasma crash. I had been using the latest NVIDIA kernel modules (v260.19) from the openSUSE NVIDIA repo. I uninstalled them, installed the gcc, make, and kernel-devel packages, and manually installed the latest NVIDIA driver (270.18). No joy; same crash. So I installed version 256.53. And...it solved the problem.
So, to underscore the point, if you have a recent NVIDIA card and you're having random plasma widget crashes, try downgrading your NVIDIA driver.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Courier IMAP Functionality - Delete W/o Marking - Similar To Gmail IMAP ?
Apr 23, 2010I've been running Courier IMAP for many years now, but when I added gmail's IMAP to my Outlook I noticed something interesting: when you delete a message, it gets thrown into the trash instantly.
With Courier IMAP (or any other IMAP server, for that matter), when you delete, it first marks it for deletion. Then after you Purge Deleted Messages it either gets rid of them or moves them to trash.
Is there a way to implement this in Courier IMAP?

Feb 10, 2011i know i should look more through the forum, but i've been stuck on installing ubuntu on my computer for 3 days now, reinstalling, manual grub installing and so on, but no go. but i found a good thread on my still no fully functional ubuntu computer that explained very well for a complete linux noob how to install grub2 on ubuntu via the livecd. but since i was booting from the live cd meant that i couldn't bookmark it, and very little on this forum, as far as i can see, gets sticky, makes it very hard to find.
the basic problem is, i completly reinstalled ubuntu 10.10, and the bootloader (that i now know is named grub2) could not be installed. so i've found several guides, including the wiki, but it haven't really worked. now instead of explaining all of this over again, like all of you have probably done a million times, can you just post the most informative links here, so i can pick and choose,

View 2 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Determine What CPU Thread Is On?
Jul 2, 2010Is there a library/system call that will return to me what CPU core a thread of execution is running on? I've looked for a bit on the net already and also in /usr/include and couldn't find one.
getcpu() and sched_getcpu() are two that I found, but when I include the appropriate header files (linux/getcpu.h, and sys/sched.h respectively), gcc says getcpu.h doesn't exist and the linker complains it cannot find the implementation in sched.h.
I'm sure I'm doing something really stupid or overthinking...
What I am doing is running an OpenMP application and specifying a list of cpu cores to run on with GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY. I want to make sure that each core is getting the same number of threads.

It seems that this code works, but only with glibc >= 2.6, and my machine has 2.5:
