Read The Man Pages. "man zero ; man dd".
/dev/zero is a perfectly legit device name; it is a character device
that returns 0x00 if read from and discards anything that's written to
it. The options to dd include:
if= The file or device to take input from, /dev/zero in the example.
of= The file or device to write output to. In the example, this is
/dev/hda, which means "the first IDE hard disk taken as a unit,
starting at the MBR." /dev/hda1 refers to the first partition
on the first IDE hard disk.
bs= The block size to use. 512=512 bytes, 1k=1024 bytes, 1M=1024k,
etcetera.
count= The number of blocks to read and write
There are a few more, but those are used most often. The example
command is a computer-parseable way of saying "write zeroes over the
MBR, which will destroy the partition table as well as any resident
bootloader."
There is a wealth of information at http://linuxnewbies.org/ and
http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/ as well as in file:/usr/share/doc/ .

This makes no sense... have an Pentium 233 MMX processor running on a
VX-98 motherboard w/ 128 MB of RAM. Modem is a Zoom model 2919
(internal). The modem works great under Redhat 5.2, 6.2, 7.0, ....
oops~! Not 7.1 I upgraded both my PC and my laptop to 7.1. No
problems on the laptop (laptop uses PCMCIA modem), but under the PC, I
get "failed to activate ppp0 with error 6" What is error 6?
If this is relevant, the motherboard likes to assign the modem to IRQ
10, so I have to setserial /dev/ttyS2 IRQ 10 I did try removing that,
but it did not change the error message.
Please advise.

Hi,
How do I configure lm-sensors to show the right values on a ASUS
A7VI-VM motherboard? I find that the other A7V boards use a asus chip
which is to be used with the w83* driver.
However sensors-detect detects a lm80 on this MB. The values displayed
are totally wrong. Using the via686a driver and i2c-isa, the values
are different but wrong. The w83* driver does not work even with the
force_a9... option.
Please help, I haven't done anything to the conf file. Where do I find
the right configuration for this motherboard? BTW the i2c-viapro
driver is used and it detects ( in /var/log/messages ) a via 596 chip
instead of the 686b chip that I have.
TIA,

Looks as if you wouldn't have /dev/rawctl.
Read:

However, are you sure /dev/rawctl is a real device and not just

Having been in the same position with an old 486 twice now, I would
say that the 16450 has not been the major problem in my experience.
I have had a direct null-modem connection between on old 486 laptop
(with 16450) and a modern PC using ppp at 115200 baud without
intolerable errors. Admittedly a 16550 would spare the processor a bit.
On my old home PC, with a 16450, I got lots of errors at any baud
rate within reason when connecting to an ISP. Upgrading to a
16550 serial port card didn't fix it. The problem relates to irq's
being masked during access to a (typically very slow) hard disk.
'hdparm -u1' did the trick.

2. MySQL only does well with three or fewer simultaneous connections,
above that, it's performance really sucks. (see www.greatbridge.com for
benchmarking performance under various numbers of connections.)
PostgreSQL is the only DBMS out of MySQL, MS SQL, and Oracle that truly
can scale efficiently, and in a web-serving environment, it's very common
to have many simultaneous queries running.

Again a full quote from you:
.........................
That being said, the ultimate capacity will, of course, depend on what
you're serving. If you're serving out nothing but flat files, I'm sure
that you could fill a 100 mbit line, handling tens to hundreds of millions
of hits per day. If you're doing any sort of CGI, that number drops
dramatically, and if you're also doing DB work, that number also drops
very dramatically.
Assuming a little bit of DB work, but not terribly complex queries, you
should be able to do at least 150,000 hits per day. If the DB work is
more complex, that will drop. As you reach the capacity of the machine
..........................
Clearly you are saying that the database is the bottleneck. 150 000 hits
per day is only 2 hits per second on the average. You should try your
application on MySQL/InnoDB if the PostgreSQL is such a bottleneck
for your application.

These are CPU-bound benchmarks. Could you advise me how one tunes
these better? I used the default parameters of PostgreSQL except that I
increased the shared cache size to 24 MB and the log buffer to 4 MB.
For MySQL/InnoDB you can use the parameters specified in the InnoDB
manual. As long as the magnitude of the buffer pool and the log buffer
are about what I said on my benchmark page, they will run in about the
same time.

I would be very pleased if someone who knows PostgreSQL well would
run these benchmarks and tune them optimally. I will post his results to
my website. It is of course best that benchmarks are run by an
independent party. Could you do it? You can also add your own tests.
No need to restrict yourself to pure insert and join performance.
The Great Bridge benchmarks have exactly the flaws you are criticizing:
they did not post the configuration parameters to their website,
but only say that they used the 'default parameters' of two databases
whose names they do not disclose. They tuned PostgreSQL but
did not tune the other databases. They are calling one of their benchmarks
"TPC-C", though the test setting does not conform to the TPC
specifications. They only posted results from one AS3AP benchmark,
though it contains a whole suite of simple benchmark tests.
> MySQL does have it's merits. It's too bad that it's proponants so

It would be very nice if you could correct this testing methodology
by running the tests yourself. They are very simple and it takes only
10 minutes from you to run them once you have MySQL/InnoDB-3.23.39
installed. I would also be very pleased to hear how your web application
scales on MySQL/InnoDB.

In RedHat 7.1 (kernel 2.4.2), sound recording doesn't work (using

It is the same when recording with dd command from /dev/dsp device.
However, playback works without problems. Mixer was correctly set to

Hi,
Exactly what "fiddling" did you have to do with lpd? I had the z52 set up
on my Debian machine with a 2.2.18 kernel and after several botched attempts
to get WP8 to recognize the printer, I lost the printer altogether and I
suspect I did something to lpd. As far as I can tell from dmesg, all the
requisite usb drivers are being loaded to support /dev/usb/lp0 and the
lexmark drivers are installed. I do know that in order to send raw data to
the printer, I needed to make a separate printcap entry "z52-outfiles" which
I have done and there are no spaces or tab entries.
I can send alignment and cartridge instructions to the printer only,
nothing else. When I run lpc status, I get "queueing enabled, printing
enabled, no entries, no daemon present". I believe I should not be seeing
"no daemon present", rather "printer ready and printing" when I send a
document to the queue. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

The card can autosense the speed and will switch automatically.

chips. Yours should work.
