View 3 Replies View RelatedI understand that in linux virtual memory would be the same as swap and I also understand that linux only uses swap when your computer has used all your pc memory. I hope both assumption are right.Can I make a process like firefox use ONLY virtual memory/swap? No access to RAM.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu 10.04 as virtual machine and now there is slight problem When I turn on machine I see VM bios but then VM stops and cursor (underscore) starts blinking. I waits like this for 2 minutes and then proceeds normally. There might be VM bios seen again. Since here, no slowness is noticed. It shuts down really fast
I'm using VMware workstation 7.0 and VMplayer 3.0.1, hard disk type used is SCSI.
lately, after shifting to 10.04, when I copy files from the Ubuntu to my XP shared folders, it goes very very slow. i restarted the router and nothing changed. I can see the folders, but the copy speed is still very slow.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got three disks together on a *home* server that constitute four LVs.The two are the root and swap LVs installed by the Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS installer on the OS drive (250 GB VG: Beta). The third & fourth LVs I made of two physical volumes (640 GB and 200 GB VG: Data) and mounted each inside /torrent. All are ext4.
I'm migrating lots of large files from /home to inside of /torrent, but I'm seeing EXTREMELY slow speeds (700KB/s).I'll admit this is my first time using LVM, and I tried it only because of the numerous smaller drives I have sitting around that weren't getting used. I didn't expect such a large drop in speed.
Here's a more technical review of the setup:
Code:
me@Beta:~$ sudo pvdisplay
[sudo] password for me:
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sdb
VG Name Data

I am running a series of tests for an implementation of a remote pager that sends page faults to other computers in a network. Long story short, I was wondering if there is an easy way to force a process to use virtual memory as oppose to physical RAM so that I can better measure the performance of my implementation against how the system would perform while swapping to the hard drive.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a VM setup in VirtualBox of Win XP. This VM has been setup for well over 4 years.
All of a sudden today, the VM started running very slow. I checked the task manager in Windows, nothing eating up PCU or memory there. I then ran htop. Attached is what I saw. There are many repeat processes with different PIDs.
Is this normal?
The local files copy speed from one disk to another is satisfyingly 60+MB/s, but this cause problem to other application, windows gray out, firefox freez, basically i have to wait for the copy to end to return to the computer.

In mi fstab file I mount a smb file server at boot. The code is:
//<ip address>/data /home/eng-2/NAS smbfs credentials=/home/eng-2/.smbcredentials,dir_mode=0775,gid=1000,uid=1000 0 0
Transfer rate to the server is approx 100 KB/s
Whilst transfer rate from the server 16 MB/s
If I mount it from Places>connect to server. Both to and from speeds are 16 MB/s. Why is it so slow when mounted through fstab?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to upgrad from kernel 2.6.32.9 to 2.6.34.3 and I'm having problems.The boot finished with that old gem "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill init !"I suspect that it's something to do with my PATA IDE driver because there have been kernel changes in this area.My problem is all the boot messages scroll off the top of the screen before I can read them and it's no use saying look at dmesg or /var/log/messages because the root fs isn't there - another reason why I think it's to do with the drivers.So my question is, is there some way I can slow down the boot process so that I have a chance of reading the messages ?

Few days ago formatted away winxp at office and installed OpenSUSE 11.2. In winxp USB speed was fine (actually full speed of my SDHC card using card-reader), but in SUSE it's about 1.13 MB/s.
The strange thing is - I have the same version of SUSE at home, on both desktop and laptop, with the only difference in kernel - at home both are default kernel, and desktop kernel at office.
Should I try default kernel and is there any way to determine the source of the problem?
I wonder and hence ask you whether there is a difference in boot time between two systems when just one of them features grub at the boot stage.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am having a very weird problem, of which I have never heard before. The problem, shortly (I will give details in the following), is that the copy speed between the partition in which I am running my Fedora and another partition where I store backup data is 50K/s, which is extremely slow (it has been usually around 10M/s, almost 200 times faster).
My laptop is a HP Pavillion Dv7 2080 ep, in which I have two disks of 250G. One of the disks is partitioned between two operational systems, Fedora 14 64 and Windows 7 64, and the other disk contains the above referred partition where I store my backups (lets call it backup disk). The problem happens ONLY when I try to copy anything from my home in Fedora to the backup disk. I first thought it could be a problem in the backup disk. Then I login into the windows and made a copy of some AVI files (3G approx) to the backup disk, which went normally, within a few seconds, thus eliminating this possibility. I try therefore to make the inverse process, a copy from the backup disk into my home folder in Fedora. It went normally, copying 4 G also within few seconds, actually with an excellent speed of 50M/s. After searching in google, I saw some people also complaining of slow copy speed (although they had 7M/s, more than 100 times faster than what I have now), and one cause could be that the source file system (in my case the Fedora home folder) would be near its full capacity. I therefore eliminate everything that I could, around 15G, and now I have like 20G of free disk space, which I think is more than enough for everything. However, the problem persists. Some people also said that it could be the type of files and/or amount of data. I therefore tried several kinds of files (from raw data files to AVI and RMVB regular video files), and several amounts of data (from single files with a few Megas to folders with 20G) and in all cases I had the same unacceptably low copy speed of 50K/s.
It seems to be a problem in the software, caused by the updates, since until 10 days ago it was everything ok. However, I usually make the updates whenever they appear but make my backups much less frequently. Therefore I don't know for sure what has changed in Fedora through the updates since the last backup I made, when everything was working fine.
on my dell xps M1530 dualcore duo 2.2GHz 4GB ram 500GB harddisk suse 11.3 KDE 4.4 and KDE4.6beta1, when I copy big or a big number of files (20 or 30 files 500MB each) dolphin slow wildly down, especially when I copy from a smb:// to my disk, dolphin start immediately to copy but when I click on a tab or a folder (a one that I didn't opened before) dolphin shows it to me after a couple of minutes, is it possible to solve??
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy laptop boot up time increased considerably (10 seconds) after allocating a virtual drive for virtualbox guest. The guest installation did not work so i removed it along with the virtual disk. Now everytime when i boot to ubuntu, after inputting my password in the login screen, it takes much longer to load the system. And during the loading time the disk activity indicator light blinks indicating the harddisk is actually busy loading the system.
I decided to search around for a possible answer and force reprofiling ureadahead does the trick Now boot time is back to what it used to be
This is my sample code in /etc/httpd/conf.d/applications.conf file currently we are creating subdomain mannually for every new subdomain. I want to automate this process througs bash script , how its possible.
Code:

ServerName google.com
ServerAlias google.com

In this code which i marked BOLD that content only we'l change for every subdomain. while manually doing this most of the times errors are coming to avoid that i need to automate this process.
I am in the process of setting up a couple of virtual servers in a cloud environment. I am currently working on my application server (Server 1) and am stuck on the creation of my ruleset for this server.
I need to allow SSH, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, and PING on this server. This server will also need to be able to talk with a couple of database servers as well as a memcache server (all internally within my cloud environment)
I have been reading on iptables, since I have never messed with them before, and have come up with the ruleset I will paste below. I have taken other steps to secure my server...changing ssh port, not allowing root to login via ssh without logging in as a user, turning off unnecessary daemons, editing my hosts allow/deny files, just to name a few.
I am a newbie to iptables, so I would love a bit of helpful advice, criticism, and even a good explanation why I should add or remove or edit something. I really want to know the how AND the why!

I recently got my D-Link DWA-556 pci card working with my new desktop with Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. Connection speed is good, but local network file transfer speeds are pitiful. I'm trying to copy some files from my laptop(also running 10.04) and I'm getting around 300-500 kb/s, which is actually lower than my typical download speeds. Anyone know what the problem might be? output of iwconfig is this:
Code:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"linksys"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:1D:7E:59:04:0E
[code]....
I have written a script.
#/bin/bash
a=`du -sh /root/samplefolder | cut -f1`
echo $a > testfile
[code]....
The aim of this script is, when the folder reaches 20M then attributes will be set to that particular folder so that no newfiles and folders cannot be created or copied to that samplefolder. whenever i copy a file morethan 20M to that folder its getting copied fully and then the attributes were applied. But i dont want this to happen, when the folder reaches its maximum current write operation to that folder should be stopped automatically with a error.
Just installed Virtual Box 4.06 in Ubuntu 11.04 But couldn't able to figure out some problems. Host is Ubuntu 11.04 in that have installed Windows XP as (guest)

2. After when I installed (Devices-guest additions....) CD/DVD Rom is not being detected by Virtual Guest (WIn XP), when i checked in mycomputer-manage-device-manager-CD/DVD ROM, it says VBOX CD ROM. when i insert any dvd/cd it won't read/detect?
I have a Dell XPS M1330 with Opensuse 11.2 and Windows Vista Business in a dual boot hard disk.
I was using Fedora 11 before Opensuse, and it was fast and performed well. However I installed Opensuse because I like KDE 4.3 and this is the best KDE distro.
After the last kernel update my system lost initrd, I restored creating an initrd with chroot, mount and mkinitrd from a rescue disk. After first boot, I reinstalled the kernel update, so the initrd was replaced by the new one created in the update.
However, my system is very slow, I don't know where to look for bad configuration or anything else. The boot process took 220 seconds.
Here is my bootchar,
