It wasn't actually a tuna bug but rather misunderstanding on my part.
When tuna-0.8.4-1 gui is being used to set IRQ affinity
it also changes affinity settings of a related kernel thread.
On the other hand rtctl-1.5-1 script can only restore
kernel threads affinities. The following rtctl-1.5-1 patch
may be used to restore IRQ affinities on system startup
according to affinity settings of related kernel threads if needed:
--- /usr/sbin/rtctl.200909122009-09-12 19:50:37.0 +0400
+++ /usr/sbin/rtctl 2009-09-13 12:14:01.0 +0400

if (group_affinity[i] != "*") {

Hi, I just built the module for a x86_64 kernel. But I cannot test it because I do not have the hardware. If you'd like to give it a try, it is here: http://centos.toracat.org/misc/testing/bcom/x86_64/ Download wl.ko and load it by: modprobe ieee80211_crypt ; insmod wl.ko I hope this works for you.

Apple is clearly trying to create the illusion of being compatible with other architecture with features such as being a daap server and many other devices such as sling or sonus can interface with the music on iTunes so it only stands to reason that Palm should likewise be able to interface with iTunes. The issue is that Apple wants to leverage their iTunes/iPod products to induce a sale of their iPhone by preventing other telephone hardware from using their iTunes repository. It is this kind of mentality that makes me think that Apple is every bit as evil as Microsoft. They are deliberately trying to deny you access to your own music if you use a telephone other than Apple's iPhone. I am wondering if by buying an iPod and committing my music repository to m4a that I haven't made a serious mistake when I see behavior like this from Apple.

[CentOS] Repair Filesystem prompt , after inode has illegal blocks
hi All, A fault on our SAN dropped us down to a read-only filesystem and after reboot, we have an "Unexpected Inconsistency" and I am being instructed by the boot to run fsck manually without -a or -p (this was after I think processing around 15% of the filesystem) The specific message is "inode 27344909 has illegal blocks" I recall running fsck some years ago on smaller and simpler systems - am broadly familiar with what it is but have no expertise in using it to repair a filesystem. Would be grateful for advice on whats the quickest / usual way to get us back up from this. We do have a good backup for restoring unrecoverable files - i.e. I assume I am going to end up asking fsck to repair the filesystem itself and then clean up any mess that results. This is fsck 1.39 , Linux version 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 , Red Hat 4.1.2-42 thanks for any tips.

Just run fsck and follow the prompts. Do this in single user mode. I assume that this not a file system with the O/S itself on it (eg it is not / or /usr or /var, etc.) If it ends up asking to do massive repairs, it might be that the file system is totally fubar'ed, in which case, doing a mkfs and doing a complete restore might be what you have to do.

[CentOS] qla2xxx 0000:05:0d.0: Mailbox command timeout occured. Scheduling ISP abort.
hi All, Re below - thanks for the replies to the fsck question. I have run fsck -r /data and this eventually completed with several changes made. Now I am getting the following error from the qla2xxx driver on boot . . . qla2xxx :05:0d.0: Mailbox command timeout occured. Scheduling ISP abort. qla2xxx :05:0d.0: Mailbox command timeout occured. Scheduling ISP abort. . etc . It looks like some administration of the HSV controlled SAN device layer itself is required - we are now not even getting the boot process as far as the filesystem layer. (Anybody know exactly what that message indicates - e.g. whether a hardware fault or HSV SAN config issue ?) googling this , somebody suggested a media scan from my storage array firmware, then backing up the array and reinitializing logical disks and started freshhowever if anybody has some more specific info than that, that would be great. (I don't have administrative access to these devices in any case) Looks like may have fsck'd on top of a wobbly device layer which probably does not bode well :-( (I will summarise all of this to the list at some stage ) Cheers AMcC (Original post : ) >A fault on our SAN dropped us down to a read-only filesystem and after reboot, >we have an "Unexpected Inconsistency" and I am being instructed by the boot to >run fsck manually >without -a or -p (this was after I think processing around 15% of the >filesystem) >The specific message is "inode 27344909 has illegal blocks" >I recall running fsck some years ago on smaller and simpler systems - am >broadly >familiar with what it is but have no expertise in using it to repair a >filesystem. >Would be grateful for advice on whats the quickest / usual way to get us back >up from >this.
