Memcache can cache lots of things in lots of ways, not just PHP. If you want to cache via Memcache using PHP (which is what that article is about) then you need php-pecl-memcache. For example, lets say I have a big beefy MySQL serving machine with oodles of spare memory. I also have 4 webservers. I want to use a centralised memcache installation on the DB server, but I'm going to access the objects from the webservers. In this case, the DB server needs only memcached and the webservers need only php-pecl-memcache - neither is a direct dependency on the other. Make sense? ironically, that's exactly the situation i'm looking at here -- one system acting as a webserver, the other as a mysql db server. both of them currently have *both* packages installed (memcached and php-pecl-memcache) which, if i read you correctly, is slightly overkill, and i could remove memcached from the webserver and the php package from the db server. is that about right? of course, if a single system was acting as both web and db server, it would need both. rday -- Robert P.

All I've done was to take a brief look at the source for a first impression of code quality. And to look for obvious mistakes. There is enough that current packagers could do. Browse other dist's bug trackers/packages to look for existing patches. Create a list of what doesn't work, separate it from feature requests. Determine test-cases for reproducing crashes, possible specific to wireless networking. Browse bz tickets for dependencies to find out where the memory corruption might come from. Try to talk to the gnome-screensaver package maintainer to ask what he thinks about the gtkiconcache crash.

However, this update has been found to break some BIND configurations as seen in this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=563232 The problem occurs in these packages: dnssec-conf-1.21-3.fc11 dnssec-conf-1.21-7.fc12 To determine if your system is affected, run the following command: rpm -q dnssec-conf If one of the above package descriptors does not appear, your system is not affected and you may safely ignore this message. If you are affected, please continue reading. == Workaround == If you have already accepted this update, you can downgrade the package and start the failed BIND (named) daemon again using these commands: su -c 'yum downgrade dnssec-conf' su -c 'service named start' == Solution == System owners running BIND name servers on Fedora 11 or 12 systems are advised not to accept the specific dnssec-conf pacakge updates listed above. There are several ways to avoid these specific updates. * If you use the PackageKit graphical client, or another graphical client, deselect the dnssec-conf update in the dialog that lists package updates. * If you use the yum command-line client, use this command to exclude dnssec-conf from the list of packages to be updated: su -c 'yum --exclude=dnssec-conf update' == Remediation == A new update is being prepared to address this problem for Fedora 11 and 12 users, and will be pushed to our mirrors as soon as possible. Users who are not running BIND nameservers (named) on their Fedora 11 and 12 can safely disregard this notice. When the new updates are pushed, a follow-up announcement will be made here.

RX performance degradation with e1000e in Linux 2.6.31 / F12
After upgrading from Linux 2.6.30 (Fedora Core 11) to 2.6.31 (F12), I am experiencing significant packet loss on an Intel 82574L NIC running on the e1000e driver. I was not experiencing this with kernel 2.6.30. I notice 2.6.30 uses e1000e version 0.3.3.4-k4 whereas 2.6.31 uses version 1.0.2-k2. I have tried setting IntMode to 0, 1, and 2 and InterruptThrottleRate to 0, 1, 3 (the default), 1000, 5000, 1, and 10. I've also tried booting with the noapic kernel parameter. I am testing with ttcp, sending 10 1450 byte UDP packets at about 910 Mbps. With InterruptThrottleRate at 1, 3, 5000, or 1, I see the following behaviour on the receiver side: ttcp -u -4 -l 1450 -s -fm -r ttcp-r: buflen=1450, nbuf=2048, align=16384/0, port=5001 udp ttcp-r: socket ttcp-r: 98486900 bytes in 1.22 real seconds = 617.22 Mbit/sec +++ ttcp-r: 67924 I/O calls, msec/call = 0.02, calls/sec = 55794.64 ttcp-r: 0.0user 0.0sys 0:01real 0% 0i+0d 0maxrss 0+0pf 4963+3csw So in total (14500 - 98486900)/1450 = 32078 out of 10 packets were dropped, or about 32%. This is the difference between /proc/interrupts (the change in each counter) before and after the test. lan0 is the interface being tested. Notice that there are a significant number of interrupts on the sequence error interrupt; I'm guessing that's 57: 55: 0 0 0 8603 PCI-MSI-edge 56: 0 0 0 25 PCI-MSI-edge Q�V 57: 4868 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge lan0 67: 0 0 2 0 PCI-MSI-edge ���...@� 68: 0 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge 69: 0 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge lan1 This is the difference between the output from 'ethtool -S lan0' before and after the test; only fields which changed are shown: : rx_broadcast: 585730 - 581046 = 4684 : rx_bytes: 931068459 - 822452567 = 108615892 : rx_csum_offload_good: 650149 - 577551 = 72598 : rx_long_byte_count: 931068459 - 822452567 = 108615892 : rx_missed_errors: 31003 - 6 = 30997 : rx_packets: 655692 - 583072 = 72620 : rx_smbus: 5784 - 5763 = 21 : tx_broadcast: 972 - 969 = 3 : tx_bytes: 388453 - 385439 = 3014 : tx_packets: 3025 - 3012 = 13 Notice the large rx_missed_errors count which indicates NIC FIFO or PCI bus exhaustion. If I disable interrupt throttling or set the limit very high, e.g., 10, the same test generates about 65,000 data interrupts and 93,000 error interrupts and rx_missed_errors increases by 34,000. This suggests to me that the NIC is attempting to raise an interrupt for every packet received. An Intel 82576 NIC in the same system, running on the igb driver, is performing OK under 2.6.31 (0 to 0.1% packet loss). For comparison, the same UDP test generates about 6000 interrupts on the 82576. dmesg, dmidecode, ethtool, lspci, 'netstat -s', and /proc/interrupts output is attached. N.B. I tried removing the 82576 NIC from the system before testing as well; no change. - Kelvin testhost.dmesg.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data testhost.dmidecode.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data testhost.ethtool.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data testhost.lspci.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data testhost.netstat.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data testhost.proc-interrupts.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Oddity in bodhi?
There is something I don't understand about a particular package and its comments in bodhi. Not too long ago there was a 2.6.32 kernel package available for testing for f12. I tested it and commented on it in bodhi. Now it appears to have disappeared from bodhi altogether - I can't find it by searching, and the original url that went to the entry with comments no longer works - are there occasions when specific entries in bodhi are removed? If so why are they removed? Yet the rpms are still in updates-testing! I see that there are .32 kernel packages being built in koji - none has appeared as available in updates-testing - does anyone know what the current situation is with .32 kernels for f12 (and f11) ? -- View this message in context: http://n3.nabble.com/Oddity-in-bodhi-tp198945p198945.html Sent from the Fedora Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
question about Geany

Some other stuff (I've noticed at least reiser4 and tuxonice) has been rejected outright and is likely to never make it into the upstream or Fedora kernel, or at least not without significant changes. And some of the stuff they merge is just additional modules which could be built as out-of-tree modules just as well. I think the Fedora kernel maintainers have more expertise about what patches are reliable enough for production use and maintainable in the long run than those merge everything folks. btrfs is not ready for prime time for sure.

latest F12 quckly unusable after restart
Since I updated my F12 workstation on Tuesday (haven't done it for two weeks before that) my machine becomes unusable pretty quickly after every restart. Sometimes after 30 mins, sometimes after a few hours. It manifests itself in an ever increasing load, although top doesn't show anything running. Shell processes simply stop while typing. I.e., they don't accept any more keystrokes and just freeze. X overall becomes very sluggish. Scrolling in firefox moves pixels bn lines. The Xorg process is eating up lots of CPU cycles and kmsd (I assume kernel mode switching support in the kernel) also shows up. At least before the last reboot I see tons of ext4-dio-unwrit processes. Last time 81 of them. And I lost data at one of the many reboots. The machine is a single socket i7 with plenty of RAM. Lots of disk, one RAID 0 and one RAID 1 among the filesystems. All ext4. The graphics card is a dual head ATI.

I prefer changing something in /etc/sysctl.conf because it's clearly where this kind of configuration change belongs. Changing ifcfg-eth0 may or may not work at the moment -- I'm guessing it probably does -- but it's a kludge that depends on the functioning of a specific script which in some future version could change. It's a judgment call based on many years experience of messing with systems and having the floor move under my feet :-) poc poc: Interesting points, but not certain whether I agree. Given that the IPV6INIT=no seems to be an accepted option in ifcfg-eth0, I am not certain whether it is a kludge. Actually, I picked up the info about it from this list in 2008 while trying to figure out how to get my local network behaving along with internet access and this was the suggestion du jour. Mind you, there were cavaets about issues on LANs, but I never saw any problems and it certainly did the trick. And I can't understand how LANs would not respect ifcfg-eth0 on each machine of the local net (but I'm a newbie in that area, so my understanding may be ignorance). I'll give a shot at trying the other suggestion with the IPV6INIT comment out in ifcfg-eth0 to see if it works which I snip from the thread: === To disable ipv6 on F12 on the next reboot just add the line net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 to your /etc/sysctl.conf file. === But it seems that there should be a Fedora-approved way to not deal with ipv6 rather than all of us having best solutions.
