I'd like to add that also in embedded area (flash storage) the UnionFS 
helps in some cases.

I disagree this is _not_ usefull. If the user don't knows what OOM 
means he can use google to get this information.

:)  Somewhat like "Use your mobile phone to call helpdesk if your mobile 
phone is broken". Maybe such messages should have some kind of link to

It's usable, and enables "zero copy" feature.

Intel MB + P4 HT: bios processors logo depends on what?

2005-03-25 Thread Indrek Kruusa
A bit silly point maybe but it is somewhat interesting what makes BIOS 
on Intel motherboard decide which processor's logo to display.

Situation:
a) Fedora Core 4 test1  + kernel-2.6.11-1.1177_FC4smp
- going to reboot from fedora the bios shows always processors logo with 
HT marks

b) Mandrake 10.2 rc1 + kernel-2.6.11-5mdksmp
- after reboot there is processor logo without HT marks
c) Mandrake + kernel-2.6.12-rc1-mm1 (compiled with SMP+SMT)
- same as b)
There is nothing wrong with those kernels but it is interesting why

Not quite true. This bug was current till today in Mandrake's kernel, 
but with  2.6.11-5mdk they managed to get rid of it.
The problem is not with loading the driver but when alsactl tries to

It seems that you have to analyse your problem a bit more.
There are 5 main types of clusters (or server-farms as you call it):
- parallel computing
- high availability
- load balancing
- storage cluster
- database cluster
Of course these overlap in functionality but so they say :) In many 
cases those goals are achievable with "share nothing" in kernel level: 
lam/mpi, ipvs, hartbeat, lvm etc. Well, about filesystems I am not sure 
at moment :)

Please analyse your need to create "as it was one big machine" because 
maybe it is not the solution you really need.

So the question is how to hook up more "customers" for testing thing?
mm...maybe OSDL should provide special live mini-distro weekly, which 
will run entirely from 256 MB USB flashdrive :)
Lot of automated testing, lot of nice and colorful progressbars, graphs 
(it is ubelieveable how people love to watch how defragmentation goes) 
etc. and you are there :)

If the only question is to boot my computer from CD/flash (without

automatically collected results to OSDL" then you can count me as a 
tester :)

Hi
Is there anyway to disable CPU Hyperthreading without rebooting the system ?

[QUESTION - FYI] Vectorized CRC calculation

2005-01-18 Thread Indrek Kruusa
Hi!
First, sorry about the so-so topic for the kernel developers...but still 
there are such things inside :)
Currently I am investigating how "they" divide those polynomials and 
which possibilities exists to use SIMD for such calculations. I have 
found several papers about how to do it with Altivec and my question is: 
does anybody knows about efforts to use Altivec for CRC calculations 
here? Topic itself is quite old...
Or is there just any other ongoing developments which implements for 
example permute/shuffle instructions (Altivec: vperm/SSE2: pshufd) for 
table lookups?

One more question: is there PCI/PCIe cards (eg. router) which implements 
Layer 3(-4) in hardware and which are possible to use as "hardware net 
accelerator"?

thanks,
Indrek
