onnections from the local machine will only connect to the _first_ (or "real") IP address for an interface. A connection, for example, from this machine to 208.156.59.10 just hangs ... I'm assuming that I've simply forgotten some configuration step. This box is running

Is there any particular reason why this hasn't been pulled into the main tree? It's been around for a while, and in my experience performs stably. (on 2.2.x anyway). I was shocked when I discovered that I still needed to grab the drivers and install them separately for 3.x. Chuck Yous

Re: why FFS is THAT slower than EXT2 ?

1999-10-27 Thread Chuck Youse
One of the biggest reasons for the difference: FreeBSD, by default, performs _synchronous_ metadata updates, and Linux performs asynchronous metadata updates. It's definitely a bit slower, but the payoff is in reliability. I have seen more than one [production!] Linux machine completely tras

tmpfs may or may not be a UFS image stored in swap. I have a strong suspicion that it's not. MFS *is* a UFS image in memory (backed by swap, of course). As such, it is not nearly as efficient as it could be for /tmp purposes. Chuck On Thu, 2 Dec 1999, Mike Smith wrote: > > > > Has anyone to
