[gentoo-user] Which package contains NAME uninstalled tool
I'm sure this has come up several times but finding the correct search string is proving to be a problem. How can a user tell which package an uninstalled tool is in? For example. I want to make an xfs file system. It turn out I have no mkfs.xfs. I find these in my portage tree: sys-fs/xfsdump and xfsprogs. Neither sound like they would contain mkfs.xfs. But if they do, how can I determine that? I see no list of files or the like in their prospective directories and no commandline flags for esearch that look like they do that either. The package database listed on gentoo home pages appears to be laid out in some unfathomable and non-searchable way.

[gentoo-user] XFS FileSystem - Slow Writes
Has anyone here, who uses XFS fs, experiencing slow filesystem writes? I'm seeing throughput of like 4-3MB/s instead of like previously 15-20MB/s. I have read that there was some thing about barriers and I've tried re-mounting the FS w/ nobarriers but the performance didn't improve. I've already fscked the fs w/ the latest xfsprogs ( 2.8.0) to no good effect. Anyone has any clue or suggestions? Else, I'm gonna go and change the FS back to EXT3. BTW: it's my /home which is XFS which houses GIGs of Mbox files as well as VMware images. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I had no xfs_repair in my initramfs, (no help from genkernel) and the systemrescueCD images from portage were stored on the non-mountable fs :-). My GRML CD had a version of xfs_repair that was too old to deal. Had to find a lap-top and plug it straight to the outside line and get a systemrescueCD from some shady download-provider.

Make sure you have an up-to date systemrescueCD with recent-ish xfsprogs residing in you boot device if you go XFS for your root-device. fsck.xfs is basically a no-op, so if bad things happen, you mount to play back the journal, then umount, then xfs_repair.

File fragmentation, while a fact of life on any filesystem that sees any real use, does slow access times, as the drive head has to jump from one place to another, so a lot of fragmentation is a bad thing... On a proper multi-user multitasking OS like Unixes, the heads are going to be moving around all over the disk partition anyway just in general usage, even with zero file fragmentation. How much extra movement does fragmentation introduce? I've been waiting for a proper statistical analysis of this question for years. I'm still waiting :-) Besides, modern storage presents an extra wrinkle. Defrag as most of the world knows it originated in DOS, where disk sectors were guaranteed to be laid out on disk in the order of their sector number. These days we have no such guarantee, and you cannot really be sure if blocks are laid out contiguously on-disk just by looking at the blocks numbers. I don't know of any filesystem tool that knows how to interrogate a drive's firmware and get it right for every storage type out there. but as you say, we're not dealing with FAT based FS's here, so severe fragmentation only shows itself on very full filesystems. I very rarely see over 80% usage of my filesystems and have never consistently checked fragmentation levels, though, so I can't say whether xfs's being the exception on having a tool for the job means it particularly needed one... -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Any Linux defrag tool you encounter will have been written by a third party separate from the developers. It will move blocks around and update superblocks, the drive will have to be unmounted for that to work and a slight misunderstanding of how to do it will ruin data. Are you willing to take the very real risk of data corruption? Is there a best way? I do have a second hard drive that I back up too.

I believe JFS has a filesystem defrag tool as well, but I don't think it has a file defrag tool. My favorite way to defrag individual files is to mv to /dev/shm, sync, mv back to hard drive. I've found fragmention to be noticable (as far as slowing disk read speeds) on large files that were downloaded over the internet. Large ISO images, TV shows etc that are hundreds of megabytes downloaded over a long period of time (especially if multiple downloads are streaming at once). On my old slow computer (P4 2.8ghz) the file fragmentation on ext3 would get so bad that I could not burn DVD backups of the files at full speed without first defragmenting them.

[gentoo-user] Everyone wants util linux...but different versions en mass
Hi, Suddenly I got the below this morning while updateing: * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be * installed at the same time on the same system.

How can I fix that? Cheers Meino
