Not a bus, no. However, there's a central MCM (Multi Chip Module)
which contains all the CPUs, the SC (System Controller) chip, the
MBA (Memory Bus Adapter) chips and such like. Although it's in some
sense a "single point of failure" there's a huge amount of redundancy
built into it. All the CPUs actually have two execution engines which
run everything in parallel and the results are compared. Any problems
which persist after (transparent) retries cause "sparing": the CPU
state is (transparently) transferred to a spare CPU and the machine
"phones home". There's always at least one spare CPU on the MCM and,
unless you are using all the others (14 on a G6, 20 on a z900), there
are actually plenty of spares: not that you're likely at need them
anyway.
>Rudundant interconnects are possible. Don't know if the 390 has them.
Pretty much everything in the S/390 and z900 has redundancy built in.
A lot of information is available online about S/390 but there's so
much (and mainframe jargon is a whole new world) that it's difficult
to get a technical overview (plenty of marketing guff though). I gave
a talk on "IBM Mainframe Hardware from a Linux Hacker's Viewpoint"
recently which tries to give such an overview. The slides are available
online at

Steve Balmer didn't join Microsoft until much later, until then he
worked for the likes of Unilever.
Its rather funny that when all else fails, a wintroll will start
personal insults. At least I can tollerate people with different views.
For example, I don't agree fully with RMS, however, I respect him even
though I may disagree. Its quite humorous that Eric and co. resort to
using the lowest common denominator in society as the bench mark for
which Linux should be aiming for. When Linux fails on a weird
configured machine, with obscure pieces of hardware, some how Linux has
failed. What Eric and co. don't relise is that 99% of drivers in the
linux kernel are written by volunteers, in fact, you may actually find
their could be some ex-microsoft employees who left because of Bill
Gates idiocy. What makes Linux great in the diversity of ideas, when
compared to Microsoft developers which have a one track mind and never
think out side the square. The arrogance displayed as such that they
never acknowledge that many of Windows 2000 features have be derived
from UNIX. The deny the existance of better OS's to the nth degree.
Had Microsoft acknowledged that these OS's do have some great features,
and then incorporated into the OS, whilst acknowledging the original
authors, maybe then you will find that Microsoft software will increase
in quality.

Is that world wide, or just in the US. From what I have read, there are
around 200million Microsoft users, and around 20 million Linux users
world wide, and considering that most of the Linux users are developers,
there would be quite bit more than 6 million.

Hi all,
I just bought an ATAPI internal zip100 drive. In fstab, I added a line as
following(same as the line for floppy):
/dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip auto noauto,owner 0 0
where zip is the floder I made for zip drive.
I then made a file zip.kdelnk in Desktop folder, which is just a copy of floppy.kdelnk
with minor modification:
# KDE Config File

I do not have Icons for zip, so I will use the same icon as floppy's.
However, as a common user, I can mount floppy using right click on desktop, but I can
not mount zip the same way. The erro message is:
Mount: only root can mount /dev/hdd4 on /mnt/zip.
What is the problem?
Thank you very much.

Subject: Re: LS120
Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2001 12:20:50 GMT
The LS120 IDE/floppy drive and its special disks are an excellent and
appropriate idea done by its makers so badly they killed it. The early
drives they marketed sounded like a coffee maker (I have one); the disks
for them are priced double or more what they ought to be; these disks
are made to look impressive (if you're kind of dumb) in a way that makes
them vulnerable to accidental damage and they have a raised design on
them that makes them hard to label; etc etc. I'm surprised the makers
didn't catch on to what they were doing wrong -- I thought they would,
considering the excellence of the idea and its potential market size --
but they never did and I believe LS120's are now fading away off the
market. It's too bad.
*Also* these disks were sold formatted to four 32 MB msdos partitions,
which is hardly appropriate to today's world. But you can do something
about that. First, install your LS120 drive in the (linux) hdab, hdac,
or hdad position. Then cat zeroes into it, fill it up with zeroes:
cat /dev/zero > /dev/hdax
(I'm not sure I remember it right; but my linux machine does) which
clears out all the manufacturer's stuff. This gives you a clean disk
to put your new linux msdos or e2fs filesystem on. (I don't know at
all about the new reiserfs.) Now proceed to put your filesystem there
and mount and use the LS120 disk for your work.
There are however, a few things to watch out for. *Remember* you have
to mount and umount *each LS120 disk* not the drive. Your linux sees
the disk not the hardware, as the drive, so for each disk, you have to
go there as root and assign appropriate privileges to it. I made aliases
for my LS120 drive so that my LS120 commands in command-line are:
lsm mount the LS120
/lsd where the LS120 is
lsu umount the LS120
My principal use for my LS120 drive is to make backups of my user tree,
these backups presently as a tar file amounting to about 48 MB; so I
put two per LS120 disk.
I *really like* about the LS120 disks that they are same size as plain
floppies so can easily be carried around in a plain floppy carrier.
*However,* I'm not sure it makes sense any more to use LS120 disks, when
you can buy a CD-RW drive for as low as $80 (seen this week in Micro
Center in Cambridge MA).
My above comments about installing and using an LS120 in a linux
environment reflect work done months ago. If there's a need or if
anyone is having real trouble, I can go get details and post them
here.
Just remember, when you cat those zeroes into your LS120 drive, to
make quadruple damned sure *that's where you send them.*

256 color is fine for many things, yes, but you said "even 16

Yeah I hear you. If this is the case, they should hire someone to

Since you said in another part of this thread that you are not a
programmer (or maybe it was that not all people who read this are
programmers), let me jump in an add my two cents.
The length of time to do an operation isn't nearly as important as the
complexity of the method to do so. When designing a method, the first
goal should be to figure out the complexity and get it at least linear
(aka O(n)) or less if possible. After optomizing that, then you
worry about the efficiency of the actual process.
O(n) basically means if it takes n units of time to do an operation,
if you're working on a set with a size of x, then it's going to take
n*x to do it. So if a database is, for example, 100 megs in size and
it takes 5 seconds to search for something in it with a complexity of
O(n) then you can estimate that if the database grows to 200 megs of
data, then a worse-case search will take 10 seconds (ie, twice as
long).
O(1) complexity is constant and means no matter how large the data is,
the operational time of the method used against it will always be the
same.
So why is this so important? Well, a poorly designed routine might
have a complexity of O(n^2) or exponential in complexity. With this,
it doesn't take very long for a computer to crawl to a halt with just
small increases in data size. Some poorly designed sorts are like
this. You can optomize the routine to do the calculation all you
want, but if your data gets too large, you're screwed. Perhaps some
cache managers out there are stuck with a complexity between O(n) and
O(n^2) and that is why they just seem to be worthless after several
megs of crap is loaded into them.
Hash tables are a great trick for getting the complexity down pretty
close to O(1), like perhaps O(logN).
It's been a long time since I had computer science classes so I hope I
didn't botch up this explanation, but the concept behind complexity
stuck with me ever since. We also learned why it's impossible to get a
worse-case sort any better than O(n log n) which is worse than linear
but not nearly as bad as O(n^2).
Cool stuff!

^^^^^^
In fstab you specified with the parameter "owner" that only the owner of
the file /dev/hdd4 (which is normally root) can mount this filesystem.
Replace it with "user" and you can mount it as normal user.
