I've read a fair little bit about this subject and never gotten a definitive answer on what is safe, but AIUI the wear-levelling on flash memory is filesystem-dependent. Thus it may work fabulously well for FAT filesystems, and not at all for EXT. Rule of thumb: The problem is that the ability for individual memory cells to reliably perform writes deteriorates over time. Cheap and nasty devices can start to fail after 10,000 writes to a cell, the better devices can often cope with 100,000 writes to a single cell. The reason there is little definitive data is that it isn't a definitive problem - the variables vary wildly. Like you say, some filesystems do wear levelling (some better than others), some use cases are frugal with their writes, and the device itself has enormous variance as to when it will stop performing as expected. The numbers above must be interpreted as the maximum number of writes where the manufacturer is still prepared to guarantee the device. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Up through python-2.4.4-r6, they have:

From python-2.4.4-r14 onwards they have:

Re: [gentoo-user] CF and Gentoo
4A. Best method to duplicate the CF card live while the system is running. Best method I now which is near effort-less, but requires preparation is to setup your drive initially as a RAID-1 mirror but force it to have only one drive (if you don't want it mirrored all the time). Then, add a new drive to the RAID-1 and watch the synchronization. Once finished, take the drive out by failing it cleanly then by removing it, and you have an integral raid-mirrored copy of your original drive while it was running. On my own home-gateway, I used this to burn the latest state of the system to disk, and I used usb keys as main drives. At boot, it would pick up which ever is in most current state and update the other. And later in my local script, I would fail the hard drive so this gateway would become completely silent, except for the fan. (Noise was a big factor in my setup as it uses real old hardware) You could do exactly the same using a device in ram to avoid witting to the compact flash. It would boot from the single-mirror on your drive, sync with a device-in-ram (see ramfs and losetup, quite a hack but always worked for me), then fail the physical drive and run only on ram. Then in your local.stop script re-sync with the physical drive. The biggest problem with this method and flash cards is with the write limit. The RAID sync will overwrite every single byte on the card, so every physical sector will decrease in lifespan. Where is you used an intelligent copy program such as rsync, sector lifespan would increase more randomly and more slowly. I do not recommend the use of flash cards for anything else than read-only data (that you can change sometimes). I compare it to a better-cd-rw. Simon

[gentoo-user] State of ATi drivers in Linux
Hello all, I am contemplating building a new computer with an AMD/ATi graphics card. I've been following the subject of ATi driver quality in linux for a while, but I realize that the experiences I read on Google search results are, shall we say, biased, as many people who have perfectly working cards don't go out and comment on how great their drivers are. So, do any of you have newer (HD series) AMD/ATi graphics cards? What drivers (AMD closed source, or open source) are you using? Are they stable? How is the performance? Any noise issues with your card when it's idle? Under load? I'd just like to point out that I have an NVidia 7900GTX right now, and it's been working well for me, but I'd like to upgrade to something with stream processors and little more power. I've heard that NVidia 2D performance under linux suffers greatly if you have an 8000, 9000, or GX series card. Have any of your experienced poor 2D performance since upgrading your NVidia card? Thanks, -Hal

You should check out Phoronix: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=categoryitem=Display%20Drivers They are probably the top followers of Linux display drivers that I know of. But off the top of my head I'd say that the ATI Catalyst drivers (closed source) are really getting pretty good now and almost on par with their windows equivalent. The RadeonHD (open source) drivers are also getting pretty good, although it depends on the chipset you're using (some have better support than others), and if you're not doing cutting edge gaming, they should perform fine for you.

I just did a google search on the error (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down and it turned up so much that I just don't even feel like reading it for you... What I suspect and what's mentioned in the pages that google turned up, something else is bound to port 80. Do a ps -A | grep apache and see if a stray daemon is running around... i not then go to /etc/apache2/vhosts.d and make sure both config files are pointing to the same host that apache is running on... That's where I would start. -- * From the desk of: Jerome D. McBride 21:56:02 up 1 day, 2:13, 5 users, load average: 0.14, 0.07, 0.02 *

I just did a google search SNIP something else is bound to port 80. As stated above - socket 80 is not in use (according to netstat). If there was, apache2 -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf would also fail, would it not? Do a ps -A | grep apache and see if a stray daemon is running around... I I did that, there were no apache processes running. not then go to /etc/apache2/vhosts.d and make sure both config files are pointing to the same host that apache is running on... Again, if the config was broken then I'd expect # apache2 -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to also fail. I'd say the problem is related to how the gentoo stuff starts the daemon, or maybe conf.d/apache2, but nothing below looks unusual to me; rix apache2 # grep ^[^#] /etc/conf.d/apache2 APACHE2_OPTS=-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D LANGUAGE -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D PHP5 CONFIGFILE=/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Re: [gentoo-user] [Resolved] Absolutely no sound whatsoever after latest emerge update

You know, where multiple services can be started at the same time without waiting for the startup to complete. I read somewhere a while back where some were having various trouble but not lately. If you do, may want to try it with it turned off and see if that helps. I hadn't thought of that, but my/etc/conf.d/rc has RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP=no Thanks for the sauggetsion anyways. -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[gentoo-user] Meta-Offtopic: Dualcore lost
Hi, I have a meta-offtopic question: Usually I get sources for Blender from the SVN, recompile it and VOILA!: The newest Blender. Then, from one day to another, my blender built lost the abillity to use both cores of my CPU. I posted this on a blender forum and others dont have the same problem with the same svn snapshot. Now I am searching for a reason, while blender suddenly works without problems but only with one core. Everything else (as far as enabled) use both cores. What can be the reason for such a behaviour? I did not change the way of building blender... Any suggestions are very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance!
