Hi All, On SLES 10 , I am using parted command to partition a device but the behaviour of parted command is varying from one Archetecture to another archtecture. I am using the following command to partition a device from 0 to 100 MB *$ parted -d /dev/sda mkpart p 0 100* and with the help print option i am printing the partition table. The o/p of $*parted -s /dev/sda print* is varying from one arch to another arch. The o/p of *$parted -s /dev/sda print* on i386 machine Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0kB - 73GB Disk label type: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1kB 100MB 100MB primary reiserfs type=83 The o/p of *$parted -s /dev/sda print* on i386 machine Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0kB - 7516MB Disk label type: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 17kB 100MB 100MB *My question is, on ia 64 arch why parted command is leaving first 17 kB of the device?* Your help is appreciated Regards, Masthan

Hello, I have SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 installed on an SGI Altix Itanium. Are there http or ftp installation sources or will I have to install everything by the ProPack CDs? Thanks, Marc

Restricting CPU and memory usage
by Marc Lanctot 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hello, I'm a system admin for the department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences ant McGill University. I have recently become in charge of an SGI Altix Itanium machine running SUSE Enterprise Linux 9.0. I'm looking for a way to control/restrict memory and CPU usage on this server. I know about nice and ulimit, but I need something more flexible that can: - restrict the CPU usage time for a process (or user) - limit the percentage/amount of the CPU allocated to a given user, and not just for a single process - limit the percentage/amount of RAM allocated to a given use, and not just for a single process I suspect to do so would require turning on some flags in the kernel and maybe using a tool to set these limits for each user, but I don't know if this exists. Could someone recommend a tool or procedure to implement this? Thanks, Marc

SLES9 on Montecito
by s.schramke＠bull.de 06 Jul '06

Hi there, We got a big problem with SLES9 on a 1.6/18MB Montecito Tiger 4 Platform. The SLES 9 without a sp freezes after you have choosen the installation and booting the kernel, right in front of the language settings. SLES9 with sp2 is able to go through the installtion until the system tries to mount the cdrom. SLES says that the given cd is not the cd1 (but in fact it is) and that he cant go any further. The same situation u got in SLES9 sp3. Does somebody have a clue what it can be? Thanks for your help.
