"elevator=deadline" and then keep changind from deadline to cfqor anticipatory. and do io writes , u could do a #date && dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp bs=64K count=16 && date so the differnce in time would give u approx io time... also u could use sar or vmstat to get brief ideas on read write. -- "He who fights monsters should look to it that he himself does not become one." - Friedrich Nietzche

by romel dutta 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

hello all, I have got a peculiar problem. Usually i work in gnome,and there only i listen to songs and movies in xmms and mplayer. Oneday,i went to kde and tried playing songs in xmms there in kde..,but to my horror,it showed device not detected ,and souncard busy.Then again i came back to Gnome,and tried playing xmms,and to my surprise no sound was coming..!!!! ,but the song is seen to be played.in the xmms player..,ditto with mplayer too....But,in other OS,i.e Windows i face no problem. But since most of the times i work in Linux(Fedora 2),i prefer working and listening to songs in linux only.. But,after this problem,my life has become hell,and i dunno what to do.. Can,anyone suggest me what may the problem..??? I have checked volume control,it was not in mute..,and if sound-card not ready,then how come in the player song vl play..?? Plzz,help me... cheers romel

Sharing $HOME across multiple distributions without messing preferences
by Nikhil Marathe 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

How do you share the home directory and its data on multiple distributions which may or may not have similar software without damaging the application preferences. eg. If KDE_DIR is different for two distributions then wallpapers normally blank out. How do you avoid that? Nikhil

IO Schedulers and drive performance
by Mrugesh Karnik 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Hello, I just compiled kernel 2.6.15. I came across an option that I didn't have any knowledge about: Block Layer-> IO Schedulers-> < > Anticipatory I/O scheduler < > Deadline I/O scheduler < > CFQ I/O scheduler Default I/O scheduler (CFQ)-> ( ) Anticipatory ( ) Deadline ( ) CFQ ( ) No-op Here's what the help text in menuconfig says about the three options: Anticipatory: CONFIG_IOSCHED_AS: The anticipatory I/O scheduler is the default disk scheduler. It is generally a good choice for most environments, but is quite large and complex when compared to the deadline I/O scheduler, it can also be slower in some cases especially some database loads. Deadline: CONFIG_IOSCHED_DEADLINE: The deadline I/O scheduler is simple and compact, and is often as good as the anticipatory I/O scheduler, and in some database workloads, better. In the case of a single process performing I/O to a disk at any one time, its behaviour is almost identical to the anticipatory I/O scheduler and so is a good choice. CFQ: CONFIG_IOSCHED_CFQ: The CFQ I/O scheduler tries to distribute bandwidth equally among all processes in the system. It should provide a fair working environment, suitable for desktop systems. The help text wasn't much help for me either, so I went about googling. I found this: http://www.linuxhowtos.org/System/iosched.htm This is very good information. Anyway, now I'm wondering how much effect an I/O Scheduler will have on the drive performance, as compared to hdparm settings. 'hdparm -tT' gives me a read speed of ~55MB/s on my AMD Sempron64 2500+ system. My hard disk isn't even SATA. I don't think it is possible to squeeze out much more. I suppose switching I/O Schedulers on my system won't make much of a difference. Does anyone have more information about this? Mrugesh

[INFO] Some Kubuntu 5.10 issues resolved
by Rony Bill 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hello All, 1) Kubuntu 5.10 in my system had a peculiar problem of the 'System Settings' package not giving sudo access for administrative settings ( After it did for the first few times just after installing the OS) . It was resolved by updating the 'kcontrol' package through the 'adept' package manager. 2) When my net is off and I start the system, it waits a pretty long time for synchronising the clock with the internet based clock inspite of the service being disabled in the services list. The temporary workaround for it is to press 'Ctrl C' as soon as it shows up on the startup screen. This will bypass the process and move on. Adept is a very good online shopping mall for free software for the Kubuntu 5.10 distro.
