Not entirely certain, there are multiple options to change on phone and on server side. I only create entries with invitations when logged in to the server. I tend to mostly read the appointments on the phone and to add single-person (me) entries on the phone that then get moved to the server. The different options make it difficult to check everything and is one of the reasons the Activesync option in the commercial version is so attractive. -- Joost
[gentoo-user] disk accesses per subdirectory tree
Hi, I'd like to put some subdirectory trees (of / and of /usr and of /home) onto an SSD. For that I'd like to count the disk accesses which go to a given subdirectory tree in some given time intervall. Is there any utility which can measure this? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut.

Use the one you end up feeling most comfortable with and that provides you with the functionality and usability that is important to you. I quite like the usual stuff (email, calendar, addressbook, todolist) and extra stuff (projects, bug/feature/support/ tracker, wiki, knowledgebase, bookmarklist) that is in egroupware and the seamless way in which all these are integrated together and where you can easily link different items together. (Can't link directly to an email, but you can add an email to the infolog which can then be linked and/or converted to a todo-item, project, .) There are a few things I still want to experiment with, including something I think will allow me to automatically create certain items from emails. For instance, an email to supp...@example.com would be either merged into an existing support-call or a new call created depending on some filter.

Hi Helmut, Only responding to say I'd been looking for something to do the same thing myself and haven't found anything. That said, a couple of points: 1) You should be able to watch for issues using smartctl, assuming a modern SSDs. 2) In a post where I asked about this sort of stuff in the Vertex forums I received the following response from folks who seem to have more experience than I. Of course, take this with a grain of salt: [QUOTE] Just using round numbers and assuming effective wear leveling, your 30 GB file may get rewritten once a month. That's 25% of the 128 GB drive, so each NAND cell will get rewritten 3 times a year. If the NAND is good for 10,000 rewrites, you have LOTS of years available... Even if it's rewritten every day, that's 100 NAND rewrites/year, or 100 years of NAND life based on rewrites. You can use any numbers you want, but it will still likely come out to longer than we care about... [/QUOTE] Keep in mind that the idea of 'effective wear leveling' is ___really___ important here. Unlike an HD, SSDs do not write over and over to the same location forever. If a block of the drive starts to get heavily used, in terms of number of writes, then firmware will move the block to another location and remap the address. This happens in the drive, not by the OS, so it's invisible to us. (First order anyway - there are probably ways to find out but I'm not looking for those.) Anyway, as there hadn't been any responses I thought I would... Cheers, Mark

No, and there's a good reason for that. In order to mount the device as a USB storage device on the computer, it has to be unmounted on the phone. You can't have a single filesystem directly mounted by two operating systems at once. I think you can use mtpfs and then browse it like any other disk. I don't have any MTP device to test it myself. I found that to be rather fragile, jmtpfs works far better for me, with a Galaxy S3 and a Nexus 7. -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 37: Sanitary landfill signature.asc Description: PGP signature
