Using nfs:// it's 15% of that at most, usually around 10Mb or so. I see the same thing at the office when comparing smb:// and a regular smbfs mount using cifs. I'm clueless about where to even start looking :-) What could explain this behaviour? [nfs:// and smb:// seem to use libs that implement those protocols, much like how XBMC uses libnfs, KDE just doesn't use the libnfs project to do it] Try watching it in Wireshark and compare a normal NFS mount vs. Dolphin.

You can make Windows use UTC by editing registry: http://superuser.com/questions/185773/does-windows-7-support-utc-as-bios-time However, do note that Windows would NOT update the hardware clock if this is done. So make sure Linux would properly set the HW clock at shutdown or your clock may drift over time.

SOLVED - WAS Re: [gentoo-user] Using date/time variables in cronjobs?
Just closing out this thread...
Thanks to your and Neill and others' help, I've settled on this for my
nightly job, that also deletes the oldest hourly's and daily over a
certain number to keep:
#!/bin/bash
BACKUP_DIR=/my/backups/app/sql/nightly
BACKUP_DIR_hourly=/my/backups/app/sql/hourly
PGUSER=SuperUser
PG_my_app=`date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M-app'`
/usr/bin/pg_dumpall -U $PGUSER -o -f $BACKUP_DIR/$PG_my_app-sql.gz
rm -f $(ls -1t $BACKUP_DIR/* | tail -n +91)
rm -f $(ls -1t $BACKUP_DIR_hourly/* | tail -n +36)
I'd like to learn how to do proper error detection using if/fi
branching, but that will be a lesson for another day. I'll be monitoring
these on a daily basis, so will hopefully catch any real problems before
they cause any real problems.
Thanks again to all who helped me get these functional.

In bash, underscores can be part of a variable name.
$PGdd_$PGtt involves two variables: $PGdd_ (note the trailing
underscore) and $PGtt
You should write it like this:
${PGdd}_$PGtt
The { } syntax is bash's way to indicate what exactly constitutes a
variable name. IOW, the above construct has three parts: the variable
$PGdd, an underscore, and the variable $PGtt
Whenever you want to 'run' a variable name (i.e., combine it with other
characters without specifying a whitespace), you should always use
braces { } around the variable name.
That said, since you're no longer creating a directory structure, why
don't you just output everything using a single 'date' command? E.g. :
date +'mypg-%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M'

[gentoo-user] Traffic Intensive IPSec Tunnel
Hello Everyone, Our service provider requires all connections between us be done through IPSec IKE. From the little bit of research, I found that this is achieved using a system with IPSec kernel modules enabled, along with cryptography modules. On the application level, I saw ipsec tool, OpenSWAN, and OpenVPN. What I was wondering is which should be used for traffic intensive connections in a deployment environment. Without starting any OpenVPN vs OpenSwan debate, we would really like to keep the application level to a minimum. Meaning if we could achieve the tunnel using the required kernel modules, ipsec-tools and iptables, we see that as keeping it simple and effective. Your insight, suggested how-to pages are greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Nick.

You can create a binary package on your desktop if you already have LO installed with: quickpkg --include-config=y app-office/libreoffice The package will be created in the packages directory inside the portage directory. You can copy that directory to the laptop and emerge the binary package of LO there with: emerge -K app-office/libreoffice The USE flags of the package have to match with those in your desktop.

[gentoo-user] Booting memtest86 from grub2
Dale, you didn't describe the symptoms you're seeing, but maybe
just seeing how I did it will help:
menuentry memtest86 {
search -l gentoo64unstable -s root
linux ($root)/boot/memtest86/memtest
boot
}
Note that gentoo64unstable is the label I gave my root partition.
I do that in case I hot-plug a disk that changes the /dev/name of
the partition. That's the reason I switched to grub2 originally.
(You can search instead for the UUID if you prefer to use that.)
