[opensuse] Question (just one) about moving from ReiserFS to JFS
by Anton Aylward 24 Jan '18

24 Jan '18

I've been using ReiserFS quite happily for many years now and I think it is one of those software packages that was an excellent/genius design; it has needed very little maintenance over the years. The PowerThatBe, however, think that it is 'unsupported' (actually it isn't, it just doesn't have the crowds that theext4 does since it don't need much work, which to my mind reflects badly on ext4) and so are depreciating it, especially with Leap-15. ReiserFS does have the problem that it is single threaded, so I don't get the best performance when I have so many file system running it :-( I don't see reiser4 being merged in in teh foreseeable future. So I'm looking to migrate to another obscure file system. JFS. I've used JFS extensively for many years (hmm over a decade) on IBM AIX machines. (Where I always used it on top of LVM.) Like ReiserFS and XFS and BtrFS it beaks away from the archaic model that goes back to the pre-networking UNIX V6 days on the PDP-11 where the inode space and the data space blocks were preallocated and fixed at MKFS time. This idiocy is preserved even with ext4FS! All these late model file systems are based on B-tree models so there is no reason why ext4FS should have this constraint. My one question is about concurrency. In some ways it a dumb question. The Linux implementation of JFS was done by IBM engineers so presumably it reflects the way the IBM AIX implementation worked, but I can't find an explicit answer in the extensive AIX documentation I have either. Is JFS multi-threaded? Please: no answers that are "Not invented here" & other prejudices. Particularly Ext4, BtrFS and XFS. "Comparisons are odious". I'm also not interested in building my own kernel https://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Reiser4_Howto And please, this is a desktop, not a file server, so advantages such as dealing with 16Tb files or file systems are of little importance, but the handling of lots of smaller files (such as ReiserFS does very well) *IS* important. That is why I'm asking about multi-threading. That's the ReiserFS limitation for me. ==================== -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to enable TCP BBR to improve network speed on Linux - TechRepublic
by James Knott 23 Jan '18

I recently came across this article. Any plans to implement it in OpenSUSE? I see though that it requires the 4.9 kernel. https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-enable-tcp-bbr-to-improve-netwo… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Aide saying files have changed when they haven't
by Scott Simpson 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, aide 0.16 I'm using aide to checksum my files. I have the aide configuration Binlib = p+i+n+u+g+s+b+m+c+sha512 ... /multimedia Binlib When I run "aide --check" at night, it comes up with different files in the morning whose checksums don't match: f =.... ....C : /multimedia/2011/2011-08 Yellowstone/2011-08-14 Yellowstone/Yellowstone 049.MOV f =.... ....C : /multimedia/2014/2014-05 New Mexico Corvette Run/DSC00341 - DSC00349.tif f =.... ....C : /multimedia/2015/2015-08 Sonoma Indycar/DSCN0293.MOV f =.... ....C : /multimedia/2016/2016-07 Oh Canada/2016-07-12/MVI_5854.MOV f =.... ....C : /multimedia/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/iTranslate 10.7.ipa I then didn't update the database and then it ran the next night. f =.... ....C : /multimedia/2009/2009-08 Rosangela 53rd Birthday/MOV001.MOD f =.... ....C : /multimedia/2010/2010-10 Wakatobi/07/MVI_1257.MOV f =.... ....C : /multimedia/2011/2011-08 Yellowstone/2011-08-14 Yellowstone/Yellowstone 049.MOV f =.... ....C : /multimedia/2014/2014-05 New Mexico Corvette Run/DSC00341 - DSC00349.tif f =.... ....C : /multimedia/2015/2015-08 Sonoma Indycar/DSCN0293.MOV f =.... ....C : /multimedia/2016/2016-07 Oh Canada/2016-07-12/MVI_5854.MOV f =.... ....C : /multimedia/2016/2016-08 Washington DC/26/MVI_6916.MOV f =.... ....C : /multimedia/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/iTranslate 10.7.ipa A couple more files added but the same files as the previous night caught. However, when I pull any of these files off a backup drive I took weeks ago their bytes are identical (via sum and md5sum). Any idea why it is complaining about checksums when the file contents haven't changed? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

On Leap 42.3, when I start some programs at the command line (like gwenview or spectacle), I get this: libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so libGL error: driver pointer missing libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau The program starts okay. Is there a missing RPM? The system is using the nouveau driver. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 42.3 on AWS
by Robert Schweikert 22 Jan '18

22 Jan '18

Hi, Sorry for breaking the thread :( > Back in August of 2017, it was announced that Leap 42.3 would be > available in the AWS Marketplace. > > https://news.opensuse.org/2017/08/22/opensuse-leap-42-3-cloud-images-become… > > Since then I have periodically checked, but there is no Leap 42.3 AMI > available. Support is ending for Leap 42.2 at the end of this week. Well there was a complete communication breakdown with the AWS Marketplace team. We recently tied to figure out what happened back in August but couldn't. Anyway, with the Spectre/Meltdown issues a new image was created and handed over to the Marketplace team last week. I will follow up on the status in a couple of days. If we do not get this into Marketplace this week I will punt and publish the image such that it shows up in the "Community Images" section.

(and send packets in background...) Because, as you have seen, disabling ipv6 only causes problems. Besides, ipv6 does not 'run', it's only a protocol. It doesn't send anything in the background either. Brgds Per -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Re: Postgresql
by Chuck Davis 20 Jan '18

Tumbleweed has been updated to version 10.1. Pgadmin3 does not work well with version 10.1 of Postgresql. We need pgadmin4 at this point. Does anyone know if it is scheduled to appear soon? The project has only rpm files for Red Hat & derivatives.

[opensuse] archiving a btrfs root

20 Jan '18

Hello, I want a copy of my / I don't really plan to restore the hole thing with the backup, but I need to find again the various config files I may have spread in / to use them in the future, in case of disaster. rsync seems *not* to be able to do this, at least with the usual -av options. as far as I can tel, rsync recurses int he .snapshot folder and fills the target. I don't really understand what is said there: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Incremental_Backup#Doing_it_by_hand… "Initial Bootstrapping" I don't really need incremental backups, I only care of the last config the source is / (excluding other file system used by /home or data), the target any other disk, for example usb HDD what may I do? thanks -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
