My initial response is that you have too many partitions, which just over-complicates matters. No, I am not saying it is wrong. It's just that things get really complicated with extended partitions. Of course, I should also fully disclose the fact that I dislike extended partitions and all of the

I should apologize up front for the "me too!" but I couldn't resist seconding that motion. Google is amazing for all kinds of searches, particularly tech searches. Its search results are far more relevant than any other search engine I've used. I use IE. I like IE. But the MSN search engine it use

I just wanna know which marketeer came up with the nondescript term "biscuit jack" for a simple surface-mount phone jack. It doesn't look anything like a biscuit to me. Sounds rather similar to those "neoprene high energy impact devices" the US military purchased for a grand each instead of going

I didn't see anything in the system log that might help trace the problem. The first hiccup was a complaint that the file system was not unmounted cleanly (which seems appropriate considering the file system was reported 'busy' during shutdown) followed by a long list of errors from fsck complaini

I'm at my wits end trying to figure out a bizarre problem with Redhat 7 and hope someone can offer some guidance. I originally installed Redhat 7 from scratch (reformatting the entire drive with pure Linux partitions) and it ran for about three months pretty much continuously without any problems.

e rates of most modern hard drives, this equates to roughly nine milliseconds for one-third stroke or as much as 30 to 40 milliseconds full-stroke. Compare this with .008 millisecond access time for typical PC100 memory and you'll quickly realize how "expensive" swap files can be.
