Why does linux access the hhd so much
by I R Veejay 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

I would really like to know why does linux access the disk so much (in GUI mode) to fire-up even a small application like terminals windows? What is it that it reads/writes so much? This is irrespective of m/c configuration. veejay _________________________________________________________________ Marriage? http://www.bharatmatrimony.com/cgi-bin/bmclicks1.cgi?74 Join BharatMatrimony.com and get married.

Do you need a swap at all? How much RAM do you have? The 2.4.x pre kernels might have had a logic for the swap = 2xRAM rule, but what now? Unless you are seriously short of RAM, and use a tonload of swap, there is no need to use a lot of swap. And if you really have that less RAM, then you should'ntbe complaining about "speed" issues. Also, for special purposes like suspend to disk/ACPI on laptops, you might have a case for swap = 2x ram. The installation howto was written when people used 4M-32M RAM, we've come a long way after that. Maybe the howto needs updation.

tcp util library
by Philip S Tellis 17 Jan '04

17 Jan '04

Is there an existing project to build a tcp util library? I mean one that will do the following: int tcp_connect(host, port); int tcp_connect_async(host, port, connect_callback, status_update_callback, callback_data); void tcp_connect_async_cancel(int id); int tcp_readline(fd, buff, maxlen); int tcp_writeline(fd, buff, nbytes); etc. I ask because if there isn't one already, I'd like to release ayttm's tcp library as a separate project that would be of use to others. I would also like to look at a separate library that does asynchronous dns lookups. It is important that none of these libraries use multiple threads, or any extra toolkit. It will have to be in vanilla C or C++. Philip -- Make input easy to prepare and output self-explanatory. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plaugher)
