File system for low specs :?

Hi,
I've got a Pentium III 350mhz, 96mb ram, 3gig hdd, 3d rage pro video card. Which filesystem would be better suited ext3 or reiserfs? Mainly going to be used for server - php, mysql, apache. Occassionally be used for checking webmail & music playing.
Cheers,
dammit

ReiserFS 3.6 is very fast, even on older systems. Using the notail option with it is supposed to increase performance at the expense of storage efficiency, but I can't really see any difference in speed from using notail.
If you want speed, use a fast WM. Openbox and Fluxbox, for example, are both excellent and very fast WMs. I personally have found the speed of big desktop environments to be more dependent on RAM than CPU speed, and 96 megs is not enough for KDE or GNOME... So if you want a DE, go with XFCE and/or ROX - ROX + *box or some other WM, or said other WM + XFCE, also works (XFCE isn't as tightly integrated as other DEs). Believe me, though, with only 96 megs both Nautilus and Konqueror, never mind KDE's preloading trick, can screw you over badly.
The 3 gig HD shouldn't be a problen, unless you're planning on putting a lot of music on it.

  • Lucreate - „Cannot make file systems for boot environment“

    Hello!
    I'm trying to use LiveUpgrade to upgrade one "my" Sparc servers from Solaris 10 U5 to Solaris 10 U6. To do that, I first installed the patches listed on [Infodoc 72099|http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-72099-1] and then installed SUNWlucfg, SUNWlur and SUNWluufrom the S10U6 sparc DVD iso.

  • Confusion with OCFS2 File system for OCR and Voting disk RHEL 5, Oracle11g,

    Dear all,
    I am in the process of installing Oracle 11g 3 Node RAC database
    The environment on which i have to do this implementation is as follows:
    Oracle 11g.
    Red Hat Linux 5 x86
    Oracle Clusterware
    ASM
    EMC Storage
    250 Gb of Storage drive.
    SAN
    As of now i am in the process of installing Oracle Clusterware on the 3 nodes.
    I have performed these tasks for the cluster installs.
    1. Configure Kernel Parameters
    2. Configure User Limits
    3. Modify the /etc/pam.d/login file
    4. Configure Operating System Users and Groups for Oracle Clusterware
    5. Configure Oracle Clusterware Owner Environment
    6. Install CVUQDISK rpm package
    7. Configure the Hosts file
    8. Verify the Network Setup
    9. Configure the SSH on all Cluster Nodes (User Equivalence)
    9. Enable the SSH on all Cluster Nodes (User Equivalence)
    10. Install Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS2)
    11.Verify the Installation of Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS2)
    12. Configure the OCFS2 (/etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf)
    13. Configure the O2CB Cluster Stack for OCFS2
    BUT, here after i am a little bit confused on how to proceed further. The next step is to Format the disk and mount the OCFS2, Create Software Directories... so and so forth.
    I asked my system admin to provide me two partitions so that i could format them with OCFS2 file system.
    He wrote back to me saying.
    *"Is what you want before I do it??*
    */dev/emcpowera1 is 3GB and formatted OCFS2.*
    */dev/emcpowera2 is 3GB and formatted OCFS2.*
    *Are those big enough for you? If not, I can re-size and re-format them*
    *before I mount them on the servers.*
    *the SAN is shared storage. /dev/emcpowera is one of three LUNs on*
    *the shared storage, and it's 214GB. Right now there are only two*
    *partitions on it- the ones I listed below. I can repartition the LUN any*
    *way you want it.*
    *Where do you want these mounted at:*
    */dev/emcpowera1*
    */dev/emcpowera2*
    *I was thinking if this mounting techique would work like so:*
    *emcpowera1: /u01/shared_config/OCR_config*
    *emcpowera2: /u01/shared_config/voting_disk*
    *Let me know how you'd like them mounted."*
    Please recommend me what i should convey to him so that i can ask him to the exact same thing.
    My second question is, as we are using ASM, for which i am gonna configure ASM after clusterware installation, should i install Openfiler??
    Pls refer the enviroment information i provided above and make recommendations.
    As of now i am using Jeffery Hunters guide to install the entire setup. You think the entire install guide goes well with my enviroment??
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac11gr1_iscsi.html?rssid=rss_otn_articles
    Kind regards
    MK

    Thanks for ur reply Mufalani,
    You have managed to solve half part of my query. But still i am stuck with what kind of mount point i should ask the system admin to create for OCR and Voting disk. Should i go with the mount point he is mentioning??
    Let me put forth few more questions here.
    1. Is 280 MB ok for OCR and voting disks respectively??
    2. Should i ask the system admin to create 4 voting disk mount points and two for ocr??
    3. As mentioned by the system admin.
    */u01/shared_config/OCR_config*
    */u01/shared_config/voting_disk*
    Is this ok for creating the ocr and voting disks?
    4. Can i use OCFS2 file system for formating the disk instead of using them as RAW device!!?
    5. As u mentioned that Openfiler is not needed for Configuring ASM... Could you provide me the links which will guide me to create partition disks, voting disks and ocr disks!! I could not locate them on the doc or else were. I did find a couple of them, but was unable to identify a suitable one for my envoirement.

  • File system for SAP ECC, EP , BI and CRM installation on Solaris/DB2

    Hello,
    We are going to implement SAP ECC 6.0 with EP 7, BI and CRM on Solaris operating system with IBM DB2 database.
    All these applications are going to be installed on single server, as being a basis person, I know this is not all recommended.
    But due to client's requirement and keeping cost factor in mind I need to install all these application on single box.
    Now here I need your help. as I basis person, I know the required Solaris file system for SAP ECC 6.0 but not having any Idea about other application like EP/ CRM and BI .
    If anyone able to help me with required Solaris file system. it will be great help.
    Please let me know if there is any query.

    Why not using Solaris zones/container? This decreases the administrative amount tremendeously since you will deal as with "single machines" but they all run together on one box.
    > Now here I need your help. as I basis person, I know the required Solaris file system for SAP ECC 6.0 but not having any Idea about other application like EP/ CRM and BI .
    So you'd need to read the installation guides

  • Btrfs with different file systems for different mount points?

    Hey,
    I finally bought a SSD, and I want to format it to f2fs (and fat to boot on UEFI) and install Arch on it, and in my old HDD I intend to have /home and /var and  try btrfs on them, but I saw in Arch wiki that btrfs "Cannot use different file systems for different mount points.", it means I cannot have a / in f2fs and a /home in btrfs? What can I do? Better use XFS, ZFS or ext4 (I want the faster one)?
    Thanks in advance and sorry my english.

    pedrofleck wrote:Gosh, what was I thinking, thank you! (I still have a doubt: is btrfs the best option?)
    Just a few weeks ago many of us were worrying about massive data loss due to a bug introduced in kernel 3.17 that caused corruption when using snapshots. Because btrfs is under heavy developement, this sort of thing can be expected. That said, I have my entire system running with btrfs. I have 4 volumes, two raid1, a raid0 and a jbod. I also run rsync to an ext4 partition and ntfs. Furthermore I make offline backups as well.
    If you use btrfs make sure you have backups and make sure you are ready to use them. Also, make sure you check sum your backups. rsync has the option to use checksums in place of access times to determine what to sync.

  • Choosing a highly-available, networked file system for VM images

    What's the consensus here on highly-available, networked file systems for VM disk images?
    HA-NFS seems difficult and overly-complicated.
    GlusterFS doesn't seem to be well-suited for this task.
    Ceph/RADOS seems popular but there isn't much information available.
    OCFS2 seem to be suitable but there also isn't much information available.
    Eric P.
    Truckee, CA

    Actually, I still would suggest taking a closer look at what I had mentioned in your other thread:
    [Use OCFS2 to Share Local Storage (DAS) Across OVM Compute Nodes|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2438632&tstart=0]
    I still think that this would also solve thus thread. In the end, there is no how-to on how to build that up and you probably will need some help from some experts. I for myself, also didnÄt configure all of that on my own - i left ASM/Cluster part for some contractor to setup and focused on the iscsi-target/initiator setup along with the multipath setup on m VM servers.
    Maybe I will do a little write-up, once we get it all sorted out, since we do experience some strage behaviour of our storages boxes, while ASM hammers ob them quite hardly, but I suspect the raid controllers to blame and not the concept… ;)

  • Is there native file system for solaris cluster?

    As GFS for RedHat Linux and GPFS for AIX, is there any native file system for solaris cluster? Thanks for any infomation!

    What do you mean by 'native'?
    Oracle Solaris Cluster has a feature called the Global File System (or sometimes the Proxy File System). It allows UFS or Symantec VxFS to be mounted globally (on all cluster nodes simultaneously) in read/write mode. There is also a shared QFS option. All these are described in the documentation and in the book "Oracle Solaris Cluster Essentials".

  • RAID/ shared file system for clustering

    could somebody give me the h/w config,vendor etc.. used generally to
    provide failover to the shared file system for cluster of weblogic
    servers?

    Many of our customers use either a hardware or software raid to protect
    their filesystem for the cluster. Most of this is a vendor specific --
    you should check out the documentation for your specific platform.
    Another option is to not do a single filesystem for the cluster. They
    should be free self-explanatory -- you simply need to replicate all of
    the files, application code, etc. across the cluster in each individual
    server machine.

  • Best online game for low specs

    Hello everyone,
    I wonder what is the best online game one can play with an integrated intel chipset?
    I have tried quakelive which has a good community and it also run smoothly (~80 fps) on my computer. What else could you think of?
    Thanks a lot for your help !

    Oh my gosh I've been following this thread from it's creation and I still have NO IDEA what it's about.
    Are you talking about video games that are embedded in a web browser? Or, video games that connect to other plays via the Internet? What is "low specs"? Do emulated games count? How about games in an emulator that runs in a web browser? What genre do you want? How about THE COLLOSAL CAVE ADVENTURE? That can be played online and the system requirements are pretty much any toaster that runs NetBSD.
    Whatever. It doesn't matter. The answer to your question is "Tux Racer". In any thread about Linux gaming the answer is always Tux Racer.

  • Partitioning previously used Windows NT File System for use with Mac and PC

    Hi there,
    I am about to follow your advice also for the same issue, the worry I have is that when I select partition 1, it says "To erase and partition the selected disk..." and so I am worried that if I do this it will erase the current contents of the hard disk drive (which were copied there from PCs in previous use).
    If so, is there a way to use the hard disk drive with a mac without erasing the contents?
    Thanks
    Your case is different and NO do not partition the EHD yet unless you are prepared to completely erase your PC data. Before progressing though, do you intend to share the EHD with a PC and your Mac? If so this is not advisable but it is possible, however you will need to compromise. Please answer that question first and then we can proceed with some advice.
    BTW it's generally not a good idea to ask a question in a thread that has already been answered, particularly one that is 3+ years old! In such a case it's normally better to create your own thread. "
    The answer to the question in the above comment is that ideally I would like to use with both Mac and PC, why is this not advisable?
    Please discuss my best options. I am wondering if I could transfer the current contents of the disk drive elsewhere, partition (which would erase) the disk drive, then put back the contents along with the new files which I have been trying to put on in the first place?
    If this were to work would I then be tied down to only using this disk drive with a Mac?
    Thank you.
    Message was edited by: djj19

    Ideally it is best to have seperate (discreet) EHD's for a PC and Mac due to their differences in HD formatting. However, this is not always feasable but there are alternative solutions availble. Among those are:
    Creating and useing a Dropbox account that can be shared by PCs, Macs, IOS and Android devices. Dropbox allows for 2GB of free storage and additional storage is available for a small monthly fee.
    Another possiblity is formating an EHD so that it may be shared by both a PC and Mac, this format is FAT 32. The downside of doing this is the size of the files written to the HD are limited to 4GB.

  • Access to local file system for desktop application

    As a .NET and VBA developer/user, I have found Flash to be a
    great RAD development solution for certain desktop app. projects...
    if only actionscript could access the local file system and talk to
    local (preferably non-XML) data-sources!
    I'm not familiar with the latest version of Flash CS3 &
    Actionscript 3.0
    Is there any reliable way Flash CS3 can be programmed to access
    the user's local file system - that is, as a stand-alone desktop
    application????

    Thanks for the response.
    I hope Adobe catches a clue ... with Microsoft's Windows
    Presentation Framework and the new ability of easily implementing
    Flash-like animation on .NET apps, Adobe is going to have to get
    busy. Stand-alone desktop apps still rule (as opposed to web-based)
    in the business world, and they are driven by data. If Flash was
    capable of easily talking to local data-sources (Access, Excel,
    Text etc.), it could significantly increase its adoption as a
    widely used business RAD tool. The Flash IDE is great and rivals
    any Microsoft RAD IDE + users love the slick Flash GUIs.

  • Btrfs May Be The Default File-System For Fedora 16

    Having a somewhat odd interest in different types of filesystems, I'd thought I'd share this snippet I wondered across.
    Brought up on the Fedora development list are the plans for Btrfs in Fedora, which provides a target of Fedora 16 when EXT4 will be replaced by Btrfs as the default Linux file-system on new installations.
    Fedora was one of the first distributions to deploy support for installing the Linux distribution to a Btrfs root file-system, while the Moblin/MeeGo camp has already turned to it as the default file-system, and now Fedora may finally have everything ready and are comfortable with the state of this Oracle-sponsored file-system.
    With the intended Fedora deployment of Btrfs, they will also switch from using LVM as the disk's volume manager to instead relying upon the volume management abilities built into Fedora itself. Fedora / Red Hat developers have previously already worked on taking advantage of other Btrfs features, like snapshots, to provide system roll-back support by creating a copy-on-write snapshot prior to each yum/RPM package transaction.
    In order to meet the Fedora 16 Btrfs target, Btrfs support needs to be merged into Fedora's GRUB package (or a separate non-Btrfs /boot file-system must be used), Red Hat's Anaconda must be hooked in to properly utilize Btrfs and its volume management features, and the Fedora LiveCD must be re-worked a bit to handle Btrfs. Additionally, the fsck support for Btrfs must be completed. Oracle's Chris Mason is nearly (circa 90%) complete with this task.
    Before Fedora 16 arrives we still have Fedora 15 to worry about, which will continue to offer Btrfs as a file-system option while EXT4 remains the default.
    Canonical is also evaluating when to switch to the Btrfs file-system and we may see that move similarly happen for Ubuntu 11.10.
    This would seem to imply that fedora is giving btrfs the big thumbs up! They currently release twice a year, and  fedora 15 is (I believe) Due out this May, so it wouldnt be too wrong to surmise that come Christmas btrfs would be the standard install option. However, I have always thought of fedora as being a little bit of a testing bed for red hat enterprise, so reading between the lines, I am thinking they want to release btrfs to the wild, and get the bugs sqwished so it can be incorporated into red hat, which is a good thing all round, for all concerned.
    Quote blatantly ripped from phoronix.
    wikipedia btrfs
    kernel.org btrfs

    There are, as I understand it, three big issues keeping Btrfs from hitting its final "stable" release:
    1) No true fsck (as of November, a fix is due "any time now")
    2) The logic used for subvolumes (a sort of "virtual LVM" setup) in Btrfs is wholly different from that used in Ext*, JFS, NTFS, HFS, etc; because of this, there isn't yet a single script/program that will accurately display space consumption.  Instead, the user needs to run a couple different commands and extrapolate.  A little annoying, but it doesn't affect stability.
    3) A bug in the COW aspect of the defrag command which, if run with an incorrect flag, can cause a doubling in the amount of metadata on the filesystem (and thus the amount of space it consumes).  Again, it won't wreck anything, but would make management tedious if one needs to restore a snapshot to get rid of extra cruft.
    These are all mentioned in the FAQ's on the Btrfs wiki, though the wiki doesn't give priority to any of them.  I'm guessing that, if Fedora 16 will be using this later in the year, the Oracle folks have told the Red Hat folks that they're planning on plowing through these issues very soon.

  • Convert Raw Device to file system based file systems for datafiles [HP-UX]

    Hello experts,
    Once again in seek of guidance..
    I am in the process of migrating my database (Oracle 7.2.3 on HP-UX 10.20 to Oracle 8.1.7 64-bits on HP-UX 11).
    Amongst one of our steps is to convert our RAW Device datafiles to File System based files within the same server and version - Oracle 7.2.3 on HP-UX 10.20.
    E.g. /dev/vg00/rlvol1 to become /d01/oradata/cmtdb/tbs1.dbf
    Is this something possible?
    Can i just do the following:
    a. Shutdown database (normal)
    b. dd if=/dev/vg00/rlvol1 of=/d01/oradata/cmtdb/tbs1.dbf bs=20k
    c. chown oracle7:dba /d01/oradata/cmtdb/tbs1.dbf
    d. svrmgrl> startup mount
    e. alter database rename file '/dev/vg00/rlvol1' to '/d01/oradata/cmtdb/tbs1.dbf'
    f. alter database open.
    Thanks very much for your replies.
    Please tell me about possible problems that i can anticipate.
    Best Regards
