[gentoo-user] ext4 reserved space and defragmentation?
Hi: I want to tune my ext4 filesystem of NAS data partition to free its reserved space by using "tune2fs -m0 ". By reading the manual of tune2fs, I observed the following words: "Reserving some number of filesystem blocks for use by privileged processes is done to avoid filesystem fragmentation" It means that filesystem defragmentation need such reserved blocks to work properly, am I right? If so, can I make the reserved blocks a little because the default 5% is too much. My NAS filesystem is about 7x1.5T, then 5% means a lot of space. -- Shaochun Wang Jabber: fung...@jabber.org

Simply speaking, as long as there is enough free space on the disk, even if it is not accessible by an ordinary user, the system can put new data in any place it seems fit. If the disk is really near 100% full, the system has to squeeze new data in every small hole somewhere on the disk. If this is done over a longer time, maybe by deleting files and creating new ones, it massively increases fragmentation. Besides, reserving some space for root can save your rear-end in case some user fills up your root partition. As long as root's processes still have a bit of disk space available, he can still log in and clean up the mess. I agree with you that reserving 5% of several TB is too much for these purposes. I think reducing it to a few 100MB is sufficient. Hope this helps, Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Whilst it would be interesting to do some real world testing on big hard drives fulla porn, you can safely set the reserved space to 0% and forget about it. That message has been there since ext2 and if you streaming suddenly starts to stutter when your filesystem is 99% full, well, you were going to add another drive to the array, anyway, weren't you? Add it in and expand the filesystem and see if that makes any difference. Interestingly, I've just done an fsck on my ext4 media array and it shows as 83.8% non-contiguous. It is 1.4TB with 272G or 19% free. I can only assume this is because I also use it for backups, and have a couple of directories on there of many much smaller files. Stroller.

I have a 750Gb drive that I put mostly movies on. I have NCIS and some that I got from youtube of old TV shows plus some regular files like OOo docs. I just ran fragck on that a while ago and got this: 72.499201913381% non contiguous files, 2.38433317962776 average fragments. I also have my /boot partition which has a few kernels on it and their config files. I get this for that partition: 78.4313725490196% non contiguous files, 4.72549019607843 average fragments. Both of those have lots of free space still. About half way on the 750Gb drive and 75% free space on /boot. I cleaned it out a while back and got rid of some old kernels and configs. My freshly copied /usr directory comes in as this: 3.52929844927837% non contiguous files, 0.524852607939654 average fragments. That includes the portage tree by the way. However, there is not much difference when portage is unmounted either. Again, freshly copied just this morning and only synced once so far. I just freshly transfered my OS from one drive to another. /boot and the data drive was untouched tho. I don't have a place large enough to transfer my data partition. My question is this, isn't there a point where there will be fragmentation no matter what file system you use? After all, some files are going to be fragmented because of size and some are going to be fragmented because they are edited and such. By the way, resierfs for everything except /boot and portage which uses ext2 and ext3 respectively. Dale :-) :-)

I think reducing it to a few 100MB is sufficient. This is correct, ext2 was set up like that in the beginning and it hasn't changed since. Those were the days when 200M drives were BIG and reserving 10M for root was enough for the purpose. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

With the intel driver and X, he needs to have kernel mode setting enabled. I seem to remember that it doesn't play well with the vga mode setting for framebuffers. But Walter: you should be able to add a line on your lilo/grub prompt for the Intel KMS to set the display resolution at boot time. See the Kernel documentation in /usr/src/linux for the Intel GMA driver for more info on that. (Technically you should be able to rung the console at a different resolution than X; there may require another tweak at the kernel level to make the switch to VT after starting X play nice. See the gentoo-wiki article on Kernel Mode Setting.) Also, have you tried just using larger fonts on the console? If you emerge sys-apps/kbd, there should be some fonts in /usr/share/consolefonts. You can use "setfont " to test which one you want to use (some of them are bigger fonts). You may also want to try media-fonts/terminus-font (what I use), it claims to have a 16x32 variant which is twice as large as the default console fonts. After finding a font you like you can set it in /etc/conf.d/consolefont to automatically load at boot time. Cheers, W -- Willie W.

[gentoo-user] emerge @preserved-rebuild failure...
Hi,
This is a mostly stable machine. Why is what I think is the stable
version of libgnomecanvas-python failing to build?
The newer version portage (2.28.1) requires masked packages so
that's not a good option.
What's a person to do?
Thanks,
Mark

Yeah, should have posted more. Sorry.
Hopefully this will get you far enough back to take a guess. Seems
that libpng12.la doesn't exist and indeed that file isn't there.

One or two of the other sort too, of course, but after all, perfection is a purely human ideological concept.

Hah, the dev responsible for that ought to be shot. It wreaked havoc with ~arch a few months back, it's all in the archives in it's full glory. The libpng ebuild has this message at the end, it's in your elogs: "Run /usr/sbin/libpng-1.4.x-update.sh to fix libtool archives (.la)" If stable is anything like unstable was, expect a long frustrating sequence of revdep-rebuild and preserved-rebuild to fix it all. Personally, this is one of those things that I fixed and forgot all about (that's how frustrating it was). For the true facts, get the list archives. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

I found that running revdep-rebuild -i first failed showing the same sort of error and then the second time passed showing now errors: * Messages for package mail-client/evolution-2.28.3.1: * To change the default browser if you are not using GNOME, do: * gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command -t string 'mozilla %s' * gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command -t string 'mozilla %s' * * Replace 'mozilla %s' with which ever browser you use. * * Junk filters are now a run-time choice.

[gentoo-user] vbox gentoo guest mac address issue
Hello, I have running gentoo vbox guest image. I've made its clone using VBoxManage clonehd ... and setup new vbox guest using this system copy. Everything is same except MAC address. When starting system from this cloned image I've got an eth0 failure. It looks like the original MAC address is somewhere cached in the cloned system. I've googled how to reset this cached MAC address but without luck :-( Please, could you help me? Thanks Pat Freehosting PIPNI - http://www.pipni.cz/

Thanks for the pointer on the libpng fixer. I don't see why this sort of thing should be showing up on a stable release. Seems more the sort of thing that should be worked out much earlier.

I'm now using sun12x22. It gives me 160 columns by 54 rows. It's perfectly readable, although the right half of the text console screen is blank most of the time. Oh well, I'll probably be using "vsplit" in vim a lot more now. > After finding a font you like you can set it in > /etc/conf.d/consolefont to automatically load at boot time. I used to do that with vga=6 in /etc/lilo.conf and lat1-10 in /etc/conf.d/consolefont which combined to give me a nice crisp 48 row display. -- Walter Dnes
[gentoo-user] VM experiences and faqs?
