netstat, /etc/hosts

2004-11-02 Thread Istvan Nemeth
Hi! I have suse9 and suse8. Internal ip adresses are resolved with /etc/hosts, not nameserver. In suse9 the netstat can find these hostnames, but in suse8 it doesn't works, except when I write ::: prefix to every IP address in the /etc/hosts file! Why is it so, and how can I shut down ipv6??

Doug, After using these scripts my installation continues to hang on 'creating initrd' at 62%. Did I do something wrong? Hmm, if you got past the copying of the RPMs from the install tree to your new system, then I would guess the problem with creating the RAMdisk is not related to the

Determining what tasks own pages in swap?

2004-11-02 Thread James Melin
Is there a way to determine what is allocated to swap? I have an WebSphere image where it behaves itself for a while, but typically seems to grab 300-400 meg of swap space over night. Not consistently also. I've bumped the memory a couple times but that only seems to increase the amount of cache

Doug, Using option 2 OSA Ethernet What type of OSA card is it (OSA express Fast Ethernet)? Is the OSA defined as type OSD or type OSE? If it is type OSD which is more common for recent OSA cards, did you try using option 3? Actually the question may be moot, because you probably cannot use the

Hi Cameron, you definetly want to do multipathing with FCP. Unlike with FICON, your adapter (and your physical fibre) will be a single point of failure if you don't. In order to maximize performance, you can combine multipathing with raid0 striping to gain further. with kind regards Carsten Otte

Re: Determining what tasks own pages in swap?

2004-11-02 Thread Carsten Otte
Hi Jim, I think you may be mislead by the statistics that Linux shows. A lot of allocated swap does only mean that part of your application got swap slots assigned to it. This can happen for example when your application is idle (does nothing) while updatedb runs at night. The swap slots remain

A generic suggestion to check is that nothing has duplicate IPs. I've done this before by accident and caused no end of confusion until I tracked it down. You'll see intermittent behavior like that due to ARP wars where each system tries to own the IP, and it depends on the local ARP cache of
