How to mount a cifs share as user?
by Praise 20 May '05

20 May '05

I need to mount some samba share with the cifs module as user. The mount.cifs manual says I have to set it setuid root in order to let users mount shares. I have done that but I keep getting "permission denied" errors. I am using Suse 9.1 but with samba-3.0.15pre2-0.1 rpm installed via apt. The server is a Samba 3.0.10. Praise

Not true. It was statement about the environment, not a question. Note the subject line... "strange output from ls -l". Luckily, for Suse users there is no ls command (more sarcasm) and just some screwy command you only find on windows. Let's give this thread a rest. ~James

Suse Process Table
by Carl William Spitzer IV 20 May '05

20 May '05

I found something new without knowing the key sequence to bring it up. It was a new window entitled a process table. The cat did it because he walked over my KB. I assume its for selective killing of processes. i just never heard of it and dont know how to bring it up. I was in KDE at the time in 9.1 pro. It would be useful to add it to the menu -- -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

trying to track down a memory-leak
by Per Jessen 20 May '05

20 May '05

This isn't very specific to SuSE, but I'm not sure where I could/should really try to address this issue. I suspect a kernel memory-leak, but ... I've got an SMP-box running SuSE-9.0 with a multi-threaded mysql-application. Typically 30 threads. Now, the app itself has a problem - it segfaults after a while. It's been really difficult to track down, but as it is restartable, we just restart it whenever it falls over. No big deal. But after running for 12-16 hours or so, the box is running out of memory. I get "__alloc_pages: [012]-order allocation failed", and eventually it'll grind to a halt. This is the really annoying bit - the app doesn't use a lot of memory - maybe 100M at most. The box has 1280Mb. What I've noticed is - the number of slabs allocated to "sock" is steadily increasing. If I read /proc/slabinfo correctly, that is. Cache Num Total Size Pages kmem_cache 87 87 132 3 tcp_tw_bucket 0 0 96 0 tcp_bind_bucket 148 226 32 2 tcp_open_request 0 0 64 0 inet_peer_cache 1 59 64 1 ip_fib_hash 10 226 32 2 ip_dst_cache 390 1272 160 53 arp_cache 3 60 128 2 blkdev_requests 8192 8200 96 205 jfs_mp 240 240 80 5 jfs_ip 168959 168959 524 24137 dnotify_cache 0 0 20 0 file_lock_cache 5 80 96 2 fasync_cache 0 0 16 0 uid_cache 6 226 32 2 skbuff_head_cache 390 504 160 21 sock 180044 180044 928 45011 When I start with a newly rebooted system, "sock" is <500. This sounds to me like somehow the "sock" slabs aren't being cleaned up when the app dies? Any suggestions on how to debug this or do I just take it straight to lkml? And do let me know if I'm completely misreading/-interpreting what I'm seeing. -- /Per Jessen, Zürich

I also ran into a problem with one of my pop3 servers. It appeared to connect then it would just stop after attempting to get the summaries of the emails. No error other than Fetch failed operation in progress. On 2 occassions I had to uninstall evolution and then reinstall before I could even get it to ask me for my password again. I then used ethereal to see if I could spot the problem and saw that the user name was wrong. Fixed this and set up a connection for another server, it also started having problems with the same symptoms. I used ethereal again and found that I had mistyped the password. I had to delete that server information and create a new one and enter the correct password and it began working fine. I think that both of these errors should have had a standard error message explaining to the user what the problem was. I still don't know why the LDAP server kept having problems , but it's been working all day without a problem. There is something not quite right with the way evolution is handling errors in these situations.

Hey Group; I have wondered if anyone has chased down the problem that causes SuSE 9.2 not mount a proven to work USB drive. Sometimes it works and others it does not.

Memory Manager <---> Application Two Way API
by Jason Snyder 20 May '05

20 May '05

Hi, I have noticed these days that application developers tend to go the route of use up as much memory as possible. A lot of it makes sense, why reload off of disk, over the Internet, etc. when you can just stick it in RAM? The problem I see a lot are applications tend to take up huge amounts of memory (sometimes it is hard to say how much is caching as opposed to unintentional memory leaks) and fill up the swap partition. The question comes up if the vast majority of that space is just being used to cache stuff in memory uncompressed and in rapid access space, why spend all kinds of time scattering it about the swap partition and then pulling all of those scattered chucks back off the hard disk? Why not instead have the operating system's memory manager and applications running on top of the OS coordinate so that applications can hog up RAM when there is RAM to spare and then trim back when more efficient uses for those chunks of RAM are found? For example let's say you are running a window manager, a web browser, and a database engine. The window manager decides to cache a wide range of images so if that if an image is requested again it can pull it right out of memory very quickly. The web browser renders all of the web pages it comes across and sticks it into memory. Why spend all kinds of time re-rendering recently visited web pages if you can just cache it all in memory. The database engine decides all these tables take time to load from disks and it takes an appreciable amount of time to run all these queries. Why not just cache these tables in memory and store the results of these queries in memory in case they are asked for again in the near future. Now you set all of this lose on a system for an extended period of time and before you know it each program is using hundreds of megabytes or even gigabytes of memory and all totaled up is much more than the physical RAM in the system. When you select the web browser it takes forever to load up a page because instead of just re-redering it (which only took a second or two in the first pace) it has to rummage about the swap partition to find all of the fragments of the previously rendered page. Then you try to use the database. Well there is no free RAM for the database to operate because the web browser is hogging it all up so a large portion of the web browser needs to be dumped to disk. Then the database goes well I have all this cached stuff, I think I will use that, but it gets tricked because all of that cached stuff is strewn about the swap partition and it actually takes longer to pull all the fragments off of the swap partition than it does to just re-read off of disk and recompute. Then when you try use use the window manager the same sort of deal crops up except you have had two other applications fighting over RAM before hand while it sat idle so it is completely and totally out on the swap partition and takes even longer to come up. So in the end all of the tricks employed that should speed things up are actually working against you to dramatically slow things down. --Jason Snyder--

>The original question was about what some software did on Windows. That >cannot be deemed germane here even some of us knew the answer. Randall, That was not the original question. Observe; >This is not a SuSE question .. more of a UNIX question. I have encountered a >output from a ls -l command that i have ever seen before ... He states that he has a *nix question. >libros% ls -l qt* >-rw-rw-rw-+ 1 dog wheel 75633 Aug 24 2004 qtvoke.exe >Can anyone tell me what the 11th bit with the + is? He pointedly states that question about "ls" and, unbeknownst to him, an acl attribute. >This is a from a bash shell running on a Windoze system. The result is that I >cannot delete the file with even a "rm -f". I have changed the premissions >to 666 using chmod ......... no cigar. He then states that he is using a bash shell in a windows environment, but he then asks how to remove the file using "rm" His question is not unique to bash running on windows. It is, again, about Linux commands. At any rate, I just noticed that John posted something foolish to this list, so this thread, apparently, was all in vane. No good deed goes unpunished. Just taking note that Linux questions should be answered here. Peace. ~James

Where's the md5sum for the 9.3 pro 32-bit DVD (i.e., the one from <http://www.interknet.net/bt/?torrent=suse93>)? -- A lot of us are working harder than we want, at things we don't like to do. Why? ...In order to afford the sort of existence we don't care to live. -- Bradford Angier
