Try to look for processes which are in zombie (defunct) state. If I'm not mistaken, for some reason they tend to be counted when kernel calculates the load average. Michael Green wrote: I have 18 identical Sun Fire X4100 systems here all configured identically: 4-way Opteron, 4G RAM, 70G SAS

procfs backwards compatibility

Hi, I've got an old software (LSF v4.1) which doesn't seem to be kernel 2.6 friendly: It dies with SIGSEGV while trying to find the page line in /proc/stat, which exists no more in kernel 2.6. It works very well on 2.4, and unfortunately I cannot upgrade the LSF version (not free software..)

Quota per directory

Hi, We're trying to set quota per directory in my organization. We use Linux Solaris, and the builtin-kernel quota feature is only per file owner or amount of inodes, afaik. Problem is, that some directories are shared for many people (i.e. /data/projects/webapp) with different UIDs and GIDs,

Beep Media Player / Hebrew song names

Hi, xmms is the last software left where I have to read hebrew backwards. I'm waiting for the gtk2 port for quite a long time and it won't go out, but apparently I'm not alone. Beep Media Player (BMP in short) is a fork from the xmms tree which already implements gtk2, and works pretty fine (with

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that people use UTF-8 filenames yet. A small test I've made shows that even KDE saves hebrew filenames in a non-unicode form. I think that Windows behaves in a similar way. On Sat, 2004-01-03 at 15:20, Behdad Esfahbod wrote: On Sat, 3 Jan 2004, Oren

Hi, Where did you get this rtl8139 driver from? Is it supposed to compile with Linux 2.4.18 at all? Best thing would be using the driver that comes with the kernel; thus, if you have problems with 2.4.18, just upgrade the whole kernel. - Oren On Wed, 2003-10-15 at 01:21, RedBar0n wrote: Hi

Hi, Sounds like your modules.conf isn't properly configured. Assuming that you're not using devfs, you can put an alias in your modules.conf for that floppy module. It'll be an alias of what the kernel looks for. something like: 'alias floppy block-major-2'. Regarding the 'Is it a bug' question,
