Swapped out, perhaps. By being swapped out the command line would also
be swapped out so ps has only the program name available.

Much as I love Linux, it's NFS is Not Ready for Prime Time.
In a purely NT/Samba and Linux shop you'd be okay.
In any kind of hetergenous environment with Sun, SGI, HP client
systems you will have problems. I still use a Sun as my main NFS
server although I'd rather use Linux. The Sun NFSv3 stuff just works
and works damn well. It costs too much but it's one thing that I
can't afford to screw around with all the time. In my dept we have
lots of CAD workstations moving data files of >10Mbytes around all
day long. I can't afford any significant oops or data corruption.
I also need a NFS v3 implementation that is fast and there again
Linux just doesn't cut it. Believe me in every other area I am
rapidly replacing older Unix servers with Linux boxes, but not
in NFS at the present time.

Hi folks,
Trying to install Linuxthreads 0.7 on a Slackware 7.1 box. It doesn't
compile at all. I get all sorts of errors. I've edited the Makefile to
what makes sense according to the README. Help?
Here are some of the errors:
/usr/include/bits/sigstack.h:36: parse error before `1'
/usr/include/bits/sigstack.h:51: redefinition of `struct sigaltstack'
/usr/include/bits/sigstack.h:55: warning: redefinition of `stack_t'

make: *** [pthread.o] Error 1
I'm guessing this is due to the fact that the new libc has a build in
version of this library. I'm trying to install it because an app that
used to run fine with Linuxthreads seems to be crapping out now with the
built in library.
Help?

Don't know if there is a 2 GB limit for files on ext2 partitions (I think
there is such a limit). In http://www.sgi.com/linux/ (Silicon Graphics)
there is a link to XFS under the "Open Source at SGI" header. XFS is sgi's
own filesystem whith 64 bit-long file sizes (no more 2 GB file size limits).
The code is still beta quality.

Hi,
thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, modprobe rd rd_size=65536
returns a nasty "can't locate module rd", which I suppose means that the
module is not loaded. Do I have to rebuild a kernel to load it or can I
use inline arguments at boot via lilo.conf?
Thanks

One possibility is that you didn't run /sbin/lilo to place the
lilo boot loader in tg=he first sector of /dev/sda5.
I haven't tried it myself, but I believe some people have been
able to dual boot Win 2000 and Linux by putting the lilo boot
loader in the master boot record. This was a prescription for
problems with NT, but Win 2000 may be different. Try a search
with deja.com for previous discussions. And don't mess with the
MBR unless you first make a copy of it and understand precisely
what you are doing.

The kernel was probably built without the rd module. If you are lucky,
you can set it up in lilo.conf, if the ramdisk feature is built in and
boot time ramdisk capability was compiled in. If you have /dev/ram*
devices, just try dd'ing to one of them -- if the kernel has ramdisk
support it will succeed.
Otherwise you should build a new kernel.
BTW, what are the stats on your file cache (free). Linux should be
caching all the reads and writes if you have enough memory. At worst,
you can switch off the atime updating on the filesystem that you write
scratch on. Sometimes just updating the directory takes excessive
amounts of time. Preallocating a ramdisk may lead to memory starvation
(which the program is trying to avoid by using scratch files in the
first place).

Nobody should be building standalone versions of LinuxThreads anymore, IMHO.

It's quite possible that the app has some race conditions that are showing
up due to changes in the library. See if you can fix it.
Slackware 7.1 shipped with glibc-2.1.3 which has quite stable LinuxThreads,
having a number of improvements over 2.1.2. Some truly obscure bugs have been
fixed since 2.1.3, having to do with fork(), cancellation of threads in
pthread_once() and certain process shutdown scenarios; these fixes are
available for beta testing in glibc-2.1.91 beta. You will have to read the
LinuxThreads ChangeLog to see whether they affect your application.

This question pops up often. ext2 is a 64 bit filesystem. However the
Linux virtual filesystem (VFS) for intel 32 bit machines limits file
sizes to 2G up to the 2.2 level kernel. The 2.4 level kernel removes this
limit. And it applies to all filesystems include XFS.
But it requires a kernel change, along with a library and applications
upgrade. In short you need an entire new distribution with a 2.4 kernel.

You are making a common mistake that catches everyone at first.
You are confusing the package name with the rpm filename. I can
rename apache-1.3.12-2.rpm to gobeldygook.rpm, and it is STILL
known to rpm as apache. Try
rpm -e apache
and see what happens. You *may* have to specify the --nodeps
switch to sucessfully uninstall it. I fhtere are more than one
packages known as apache (say multiple upgrades that were simply
installed not actually upgraded) you will have to use the
--allmatches switch too. Rpm is a bit cryptic, I wish that I
could find a good text driven menu'd interface to rpm, anyone
reading this know of one?
Easier yet fire up X and start the KDE environment. Use
kpackager to search and uninstall each instance of apache that
you can find.

check bios settings, esecially if its a lap top.
Do you get the Power Down while it is idle or while you are using it?

Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 18:09:56 GMT
yes a soft reboot leaves all the auto settings which might be settable
in Linux so you could remove the settings in linux re set it up after
a soft reboot from windows and hope windows doesn't change the
settings next time you add or move a ppeice of hard ware.
But I would recomend getting all the settings from Linux then forcing
them in Windows.
from control panel open system click on device manager and select the
NIC card and then settings and switch to manual put in the settings,
if they are listed as a conflict hope windows sorts out the other
cards on reboot.
