Its also worth noting that there have been quite a few discussions about this on the XFS list. The developers there have already poked a few holes in the accuracy of these measurements, such as the fact that comparing anything on a 2.6.0-test kernel is pointless considering how much of a moving target it is, plus the distinct lack of information on the version of xfs userland tools in use. Also, XFS in 2.6.x is not considered to be stable by the XFS developers, and in their words, anyone using 2.6.0-test kernels for anything serious needs to have their head examined. What would be far more telling would be a similar test on 2.4.21, with detailed information on the test environment. -- ~ L.

RE: Logon time limits
There is short discussion about tracking the time of logged in users at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/1/2003/05/2/58613 I would think you could record the time logged in and the time logged out for each user the time using login and logout scripts. The difference for each session would be the time spent logged in and this could kept in a file on your box. When someone logs in the login script Checks the file and accepts/rejects the login based on the time accumulated. A simple cron job would reset the information every week. I sorry I cannot be more specific, but alas, I do not do a lot of scripting myself. Maybe someone on the list proficient in this area could help you out.

raid mirror
I think that when i sent the last mail I was as usual confused and did not give enough information. We will be using the Asus A7N8X Delux board with built in SATA raid. So its hardware raid. Also does it require that they drives sit either both on the SATA side or both on the IDE side ? Does one on the ide sit on the normal primary and the second drive sit on the raid connection ? With the Sata raid I am guessing that both drives sit on the SATA bus. Do I need raid 0 or 1, it seems that I need 1, However it also seems to me that if you lose the primary its not so easy, unless you replace the drive with a duplicate that its that easy to recover ??

I run no outside services - this is purely a desktop system. However, as I intendto play with it (when I get time), I chose the INSTALL ALL option. Following an uneventful install, I used the Redhat Up2date manager to update all versions and patches. Twice I had my ISP network fail duringthis process, nevertheless I did manage to finally get all the packages pulled down and installed. However, since that time I have noticed network transactions, particularly web page loading to be very sluggish.On a hunch I checked and found that when pulling down web pages my CPU rate hits 100% and in some cases stays at that level for the 10-15 seconds it takes to load the page. This is unusual, as I am on 3.0Mbs broadband DSL, with about 2.0 - 2.5 actual. Memory usage is high, but not into swap. I checked background process in all runlevels and found nothing unusual,except that for some reason sendmail was active in runlevels 3, 4 and 5. I have disabled that. I also disabled the firewall, but the differencewas minimal. The router shows no unusual volume or activity. And I can see no obvious unusual entries in my boot or system logs. Any suggestions, folks? -- burns Hi Burns, I found that installing RH9 cured the problems I experienced with RH8, which were very similar to what you describe. IMHO, RH8 was like the typical RH x.0 release and RH9 behaves more like a RHx.1 or x.2 release. IOW, RH9~=RH8.2.
