I think someone posted a query on how to get the format error in
/proc/cpuinfo mails to root to stop. If you replace
/etc/cron.hourly/mcelog.cron with:
#!/bin/bash
if echo $0|grep -q -e "-new_\|-old_"; then
exit 0;
fi
#
# Check for x86 arch
#
ARCH=`uname -m`
case "${ARCH}" in
(i386 | i486 | i586 | i686)
/usr/sbin/mcelog --ignorenodev --filter >> /var/log/mcelog
;;
(*)
exit 0
;;
esac
Note the /usr/sbin/mcelog line is possibly being wrapped by the mailer.
Don't forget execute permissions. And match the old file ownership. I
did not check to see if mcelog could be built to support PowerPC machine
checks?

If I run:
r-970 -b4 -s1|bzip2 -9v|dd bs=4b count=400000 of=/dev/null
(stdin):
251610+148390 records in
251610+148390 records out
667248640 bytes (667 MB) copied, 714.568 seconds, 934 kB/s
r-970 is a program that spews out random numbers. The -b4 sets the block
size to 4 512 byte blocks. I do a setvbuf() to set the stream buffer in
the code.
Notice the x+y records in/out message from dd. On ALL other platforms I
have run this, y is 0 like it is supposed to be (various x86, YDL 4).
Also, this is on a dual 2.5 GHz G5. Takes about 12 minutes. When I first
start it the cpu fans start running at high speed. Within 2 minutes they
slow back down. This normal? This is one of the water cooled beasts.
**********
Which brings me to my next question:
For some reason last week I found myself searching the web for horror
stories about toasted G5s from leaking cooling systems. How do I go
about checking for leaks? I can't seem to figure out how to get this
snazzy looking cover off? My "radiator" resembles an air conditioner
heat exchanger more than an automotive radiator (Panasonic vs Delphi LCS?).
