4.6.2 filesystem efficiency

2002-09-24 Thread Matthias Trevarthan
Hi. My company runs FreeBSD 4.6.2 on three different servers. Two of these servers handle a good bit of mail. Currently we use sendmail, but we're moving towards a switch to qmail and maildir. I think maildir will significantly increase the number of files on our disk. We may have to increas

Neat. Has anyone benchmarked this thing? Are there any reports that detail the performance increase? (And the RAM increase, I'm guessing) On Wednesday 25 September 2002 09:49, Barry Byrne wrote: > Matthias: > > I think it was introduced in 4.4 but only enabled in the default kernel > from 4.5 on

OK. I see. That works now. Is there any way to do this with KsCD (KDE app), or the command line cd player utility?? My XMMS locks up the computer sometimes. It's the only CD Player app I have that locks it up like that. I get error messages about the CDROM driver not being able to talk to the CD

Howdy peeps, I've got a not-so-quick question for ya: I have a Sony AIT tape drive (one of the nifty 4 tape autoloaders): TSL-SA300C It has a nice little display on the front that indicates the tape's "wound" status. When the tape is fully rewound, the bar graph is full. When the tape is fully

Hi. I'm trying to figure out how this works: I've got a Sony AIT autoloader, model TSL-SA300C. It's a four tape changer. In my dmesg.boot, it show the changer as a 'pass2' device, but not a 'ch' device. So, I guess my two questions are: How do I use this changer as a 'pass' device? (couldn't

Hi. I noticed that another thread partially addressed this issue: "Re: Help! WordPerfect can't find /compat/linux/lib/ld-linux.so.1 !" But I'm wondering why these libraries aren't in the linux-base port anymore, and if there is an easier way to install them rather than using RPMs? Is there a
