As a software professional I sometimes refer to the IBM redbooks for tech info. Please read further before shaking your heads in disgust...
Generally, these are very well written books containing a lot of detailed information and are written by higly skilled people, even if the books are labeled IBM. My opinion is that if you really want to do some serious tuning and get the best out of everything you really would want go into the depths of things and know how it all fits together. Here's a lot of stuff, like - How's the physical structure of ext2, ext3, reiserFS - Detailed description of I/O Subsystem architecture, Virtual Memory Manager and 32 and 64 bit Memory Architecture - A lot of info on how to find bottlenecks and do serious tuning I'm not sure how many of you out there care about this, but I find such stuff interesting, and it's free.... This could also be genuinely useful to anyone not very well acquainted with Linux because so many commands are described in detail. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4285.html regards Harald N -- haraldo Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop / SC7 -> SB3 -> Benchmark DAC1 -> Krell KAV400xi -> Meadowlark Kestrel2 / Duntech PCL-15 Everything is difficult before it's easy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haraldo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43977 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
