Hello everyone!!! May be somebody can shed some light here... I'm building a server here with 4GB of RAM memory. The fact is, if I boot with mem=3072M everything goes as fast as it should but I'm not using 1GB of memory. If I don't put the mem option, Linux will see 4GB of memory available but it

[gentoo-user] Using SFQ for fair bandwidth alocation on servers

2007-06-20 Thread Daniel van Ham Colchete
Hello yall! I have a collocation server with a 2 Mbps bandwidth for my e-mail. I would like to use SFQ to do a more fair split of this bandwidth between my users (~500). I think SFQ is a very good idea: it will split the available bandwidth between the current connections (almost) equally, and it

Hello yall, first, this is a kind of "half-topic" issue, but I'll be using Gentoo and the matter is on the interest of this list. I'll be building a Gentoo Cluster soon in a datacenter 6000 miles (9600 km) away from me... This project has to be as cost efficient as possible. A lot of research wa

Hi all! I have two servers here with two Intel E1000 NIC each. I'm planing on using the eth1 ethernet with DRBD. My problem is that although the NICs support gigabit ethernet, they only negociate with 100baseT/Full. I'm using a CAT-5E crossover cable between the servers. Here is my dmesg (both
