[opensuse] XFS Slow When Deleting Large Files
by Randall R Schulz 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hi, Question first (background below): Why does XFS write every sector (formerly) occupied by a file when that file is deleted? If this is some sort of security feature, can it be disabled? This action makes deletion of large files very slow. Background: For a long time I noticed that there's a long period of disk-level write activity every time I shut down a VMware virtual machine. I always assumed this was some VMware-specific action taken as a part of shutting down a VM. Since I don't save the VM state in any way (either at the VMware level or by hibernating the Windows XP that I run in that VM), I was always annoyed and perplexed by this phenomenon. Based on the depiction of this activity in GKrellM, the amount of data written was about the same size as the virtual machine's RAM allocation. Today I was cleaning up some cache and index files from the previous version of my Java IDE (IDEA) and one of these files occupied about 1.25 GB. When I deleted it, I noticed the exact same pattern of disk-level I/O (and the "rm" invocation did not return until that I/O completed, just as VMware waits during its counterpart to this phenomenon) and it suddenly occurred to me what I saw when VMware shuts down was not it explicitly writing anything, but rather a large file being deleted (I still don' know why VMware needs a file to back RAM, but perhaps it does some kind of virtual memory thing of its own). So, to recapitulate the question: Why is XFS writing every sector (formerly) occupied by a file when it is deleted? Can it be prevented?

[opensuse] vlc dependencies in -x64
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

what's the latest concensus on installing vlc in a 64 bit system? if the packman repository is used, there is a bunch of unresolved dependncies, if the vlc repository is used, vlc would replace some libs that would break mplayer. I already have a bunch of stuff from packman, including ffmpeg and liboil3 and i don't want to start a dependencies war in my system. is compiling the answer? or do i have to forget vlc and forgo the tiny portion of videos that mplayer fails in? thanks, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] strange Thunderbird file attachment issue
by Boris Epstein 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hello listamates, I have the following problem. I have Acrobat Reader 8 set up as my default reader for PDF's. Thunderbird is my default email client, and I am running KDE3.5 under OpenSUSE 10.3. Acroreader allows you to email files right from within by using File -> Attach To Email. This way you can send somebody the file you are reading. If you use the feature within KMail it seems to work fine. If you try to use it with Thunderbird, the initial message gets created but the actual file never gets attached to it for some bizarre reason. Any idea why this would be? Thanks. Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] NESTopia
by Kai Ponte 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Anybody have nestopia running? http://nestopia.sourceforge.net/ I was originally trying to get tuxnes runnign so I could have a nice Nintento emulator. (I had been running NESTicle on my wife's Win2K machine.) It was suggested to me on linuxquesitons.org that I use nestopia. Doing a search, I found an openSUSE rpm of nestopia here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators/openSUSE_Factory/i586/ Trying to install with YaST, however, gives me 14 errors. I looked and appear to have all items listed, but it still won't install. Ideas?

[opensuse] High Volume?
by Donald D Henson 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

This list used to generate upwards of 200 posts per day. Lately, the number of posts have been in the single and low double digits. For example, I haven't checked the list for two days and there are only 14 posts in my inbox. Would someone confirm that this is typical list performance or let me know if I'm missing a lot of posts? Thanks. -- Don Henson
