fuser(1): do FIFOs and sockets count as named files?

2011-05-26 Thread Pan Tsu
fuser(1) man page mentions the tool is supposed to list processes that have specified named file(s) open. As there are several types of files (according to stat(2)) it's not clear which are supported, e.g. $ (mkfifo foo.fifo; cat foo.fifo) nc -lU foo.socket $ fuser foo.* foo.fifo:

Can net.inet.tcp.msl be set per interface?

If a server has one interface to the Internet and another interface to a switch connecting to a few other servers, it seems TCP's MSL value might reasonably be set a lot lower on the private interface. I'm specifically thinking of a lot of short MySQL connections between the servers on the

Jaime, If you are using the on board controller, try changing the BIOS settings between AHCI and ATA. An issue you may have with ATA, the internal DVDROM may not work. I always had an external USB CDROM so I can't say for certain. Hope that helps. Barrett W. Clark On Thu, May 26, 2011 at

Your biggest consumers would be FBSD itself and the routing tables. I *think* full internet routing tables are still less than 512MB, (google to check), so unless you have more routes than that - 512MB may work, 1GB most likely will. Too many unknowns, like; is this ipv4 only or 6 and 4
