Try noapic instead of disableapic. What kernel version are you using. I'm not sure what revision of the kernel this changed but <= 2.4.7 it was noapic. -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com

From my experience, disableapic with SuSE 7.3 is a good idea on any CPU whether it supports apic or doesn't. Nothing but problems. Maybe the 8.0 kernels are better?

It's hasn't been a kernel problem, it's a problem with buggy APIC implementations on some motherboards. This has been discussed a lot on LKML. -- -ckm
What are the pro's and con's of the different linux filesystems? I have been using ReiserFS since it became available without issues but I wonder now that there are about 4 different file systems available, what their individual merits are.

I have used Reiserfs for a while now as well. My comparison is by no way complete, and I expect you will get quite a few responses to this. Nevertheless: -ext3: backwards-compatible with ext2, and therefore you can use cool software like explore2fs to read/write data to that partition in MS Windows operating systems. I believe ext3 also allows ACLs (don't quote me on that). -ext2: I see no reason to use ext2 in this day and age. The fsck's and mediocre performance (for my purposes) were enough to convince me to switch to reiserfs. Perhaps someone could point out a reason to use ext2... -xfs (from SGI): very high performance for writing and reading. Mediocre deleting performance. Fairly new, so expect a few kinks. Has absurdly huge file and partition size restrictions (XFS was, after all, designed for IRIX), which, AFAIK, the Linux kernel does not even support. -jfs: don't know enough to comment. -reiserfs: stable, effective, good performance. Fast deletes. The plugin architecture from reiser4 will probably be astounding. Everyone: please feel free to comment/correct/edit my comments. -- Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 3A1446A0
I have read some comments about quotas on file systems. I assume that means the ability to limit the allocation of a disk to a particular directory, or something like that. Can anyone elucidate? Peter On Saturday 20 April 2002 7:00 pm, you wrote:

Most quota systems are per-user.

The linux quotas are per user and/or per group. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ I can C for miles and miles Got spam? Get SPASTIC http://spastic.sourceforge.net

Quotas are mainly useful in a multiuser environment. XFS is said to have the best quota support. -- New York is real. The rest is done with mirrors.
I use JFS in its native form on AIX (IBM's Unix), and its amazing stable and i've never seen it suffer from the slightest file system corruption, unlike on my home pc using reiserfs. other than that, i've no idea of its relative speed performance and so on - its quick enough for use with terabytes of data, and is the filesystem used in all IBM RS/6000 (now pSeries) servers. For most people, reiserfs is going to be a more suitable choice, at least until jfs2 is ported. Ewan
