Why arch always access ext4 every second?

I've read one related topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=113516.
$ pacman -Q linux
linux 3.10.10-1
$ mount -o defaults,noatime,commit=60 /dev/sdb2 /mnt/home
# it access my disk every second
$ mount | grep sdb2
/dev/sdb2 on /mnt/home type ext4 (rw,noatime,commit=60,data=ordered)
Any tip to debug it?

> f it has just been created, the link you posted may contain the answer i.e. it might still be creating the inodes.
Thanks, I just notice it
man mkfs.ext4
# default enabled lazy_itable_init and lazy_journal_init.
# and related mount option: uninit_bg
But how to know all the inode have already created?
Here I list my another PC's ext4 partition information.

Why I always have to go back to Arch?

Hi there!
A little story about me. I discovered Linux a long ago (6-7 years ago) while I was interested in computer security and hacking, and got a hint the 1337s uses Linux (or any other unix based system), so I decided to try it (I choose for Linux because it was the most popular *nix based system atm).
My romance with Linux started with Mandrake (today Mandriva) and included distributions like Red hat (it wasn't enterprise oriented that time and AFAIK there were no Fedora yet), and the lovely Gentoo. Its funny tough, Ubuntu wasn't that popular at the time (I even remember how I was on an open lecture in University about open source and Linux, and I got a free CD of Ubuntu and no body heard about it before )
Anyway its stopped there for few years and I got back to Linux about 2 years ago, with Ubuntu on my desktop machine.
My nature is to discover and be different. If everybody uses Ubuntu, I must use something else (even now, I'm on Xubuntu).
This nature lead me to replace Ubuntu with Arch. This was the first time I encountered a very similar distribution to Gentoo, that were optimized to i686 and did not require you to compile every package (for instance I installed Gentoo like 2-3 times from scratch [those were beautiful Friday evenings-nights :romantic-smiley:]) and I remember how compiling Xorg took me hours (and when I say hours I mean hours, something like 6-8 hours).
Then I got back to windows since my old PC died and I got a new one and a laptop.
This leads us to nearly today. Right now I'm using my laptop as my main computer at home and at work (the desktop PC had a motherboard issue that was replaced under warranty. While they were fixing it, I switched to use my laptop).
I started with Ubuntu, simply because it works! But I hated Untiy and I switched to Xubuntu. But you do remember my nature right? This lead me to switching to Arch.
A few days of configurations and I got stable up and running system. Then I came to work and had some issues (especially with keyring) and they blocked me from working, instead I needed to fix them. Then I said "This is it! I need a machine that works!".
I removed Arch, installed Xubuntu and promised my self never to do this pointless Distro_name->Arch->Distro_name path, because well, it ends the same way always.
But you do remember my nature right? So right now I'm standing in front of a decision whether to go back to Arch or not. I must say I really like the rolling release scheme, I'm in love with pacman (its a lot more superior than apt-get or yum IMHO), I like the way you can customize Arch.
But Archs customization is also its weak point, you have to devote hours or reading and configuring to get a stable and running system. And sometimes (especially if you use your laptop for work or for studies or both) you need to have a running system and you don't want to mess with cups just because its 2 A.M. and you need to print your project to submit it in 5 hours (yes you must take care of it at a lot earlier point than 5 hours before deadline )
Ubuntu is nice, but its bloated. It doesn't even give you the option to select what packages you want to install (unlike Fedora for example). Its comes with (IMHO) stupid meta packages like ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop so its nearly impossible to try gnome3, xfce, openbox on the same system without breaking something.
Ubuntu simply works, but as soon as you need something deeper, you are screwed.
I don't really ask sort of a question here, but I know many of you use Arch (I'm on bbs.archlinux.org doh -.-' ) as your everyday system, so I would like to know how do you handle its configuration, what you do when something breaks and you don't have the time to fix it (you are at work, hitting the deadline of your university project or whatever). Maybe you will be able to convince me why I always want to get back to Arch and what I need to do to choose it as my the one and only distribution. Maybe you will be able to suggest me another distro that fits my needs. Or maybe you want to tell me how sucky I'm.
So simply go on and post, this is why I created this topic.
Thanks you for your time

tl;dr
But Archs customization is also its weak point, you have to devote hours or reading and configuring to get a stable and running system. And sometimes (especially if you use your laptop for work or for studies or both) you need to have a running system and you don't want to mess with cups just because its 2 A.M. and you need to print your project to submit it in 5 hours (yes you must take care of it at a lot earlier point than 5 hours before deadline )
That is the strong point. Arch's customisation allows me to use it on the craptop and on the desktop. I prefer to see it as an investment of time to get a system I want instead of one a developer thinks I want (don't get me wrong open source devs do an amazing job!)
Ubuntu is nice, but its bloated. It doesn't even give you the option to select what packages you want to install (unlike Fedora for example). Its comes with (IMHO) stupid meta packages like ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop so its nearly impossible to try gnome3, xfce, openbox on the same system without breaking something.
Ubuntu simply works, but as soon as you need something deeper, you are screwed.
Bloat is the price you pay to have a distro that works out of the box.
I don't really ask sort of a question here, but I know many of you use Arch (I'm on bbs.archlinux.org doh -.-' ) as your everyday system, so I would like to know how do you handle its configuration, what you do when something breaks and you don't have the time to fix it (you are at work, hitting the deadline of your university project or whatever).

My arch setup is relatively simple, I set cron jobs to back up files with rsync and keep important config files backed up too. I am lucky by the fact I have a laptop I can use if the desktop breaks and vice versa but the sensible solution is to upgrade after work is done.
I keep coming back to arch because of pacman and the AUR. No package manager comes close.

Satellite A300-1IW: HDD access light blinks every seconds

Hello everyone, and sorry for the english, I'm french :)
I bought a Satellite A300-1IW few days ago and suddently (didn't remember exactly when) the HDD access light start to blink every seconds and it continues even after several reboots!
It only does this with Vista; I checked the disk activity with "diskmon" and I saw that even if there were *no* *disk* *writing* *or* *reading* the led continued blinking, so I think it's not related to some vista services (superfetch, indexing...)
I saw on a Microsoft support a similar problem but it was under windows 98 and with old motherborads!
see : Link: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138598]
It seems so that it's related to Vista SCSI or DVD quering...
I now that's not critical but it's annoying to have this led blinking all the time
Have any idea? Do you think it could be related to the bios? I want to be sure before touching this because it's always delicate.
Thanks for your help

In my opinion nobody must offer any comment because you already given the answer. This is nothing unusual and definitely no reason for panic.
What to do about it? What you want to do? Sorry but it is really stupid question. I can just offer you one stupid answer. ;) Take some black adhesive tape and cower the LED. ;)

Why does my screen flicker every 10-15 seconds?

Why does my screen flicker every 10-15 seconds?

like a blinking? do you have the late 08 MBP?
if so go to system, energy saver, and select better performance. Your screen should be flicker free.

Why firefox freezes every second momentarily while loading webpages?

Firefox freezes momentarily every second while loading pages and it is not smooth like other browsers out there..I'm facing this problem at home, office, etc with every stable/beta/developer versions!!! I've did all sort of troubleshooting procedures like reset, deinstall/reinstall, safe mode, etc. I'm facing this issue since the time i'm using this browser. Till now i'm with the hope that this issue will be cleared in the updated version!! But not!!
To be brief, Firefox is not smooth like other browsers! Try to give me a solution to fix this issue! Else pls give me a statement that firefox is not capable of loading pages smoothly like chrome, opera, etc.. I'll happily uninstall this and use other browsers!!

Hello,
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
#Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Whenever I access my Hotmail inbox to open a new mail it starts reloading the mail after every second unless i switch it to full view?

whenever I access my Hotmail inbox to open a new mail it starts reloading the mail after every second unless i switch it to full view. Kindly help me to solve this continuous problem.

I confirm this is a known bug and Microsoft are working on a fix. They plan to fix this before Firefox 4 reaches release candidate phase.
A workaround is to change a preference in Firefox:
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''html5.enable''' and double-click on it to change its value to '''false'''
If you do this, remember to set the preference back to true by double-clicking on it again when Firefox 4 release candidate is made available, the bug should be fixed by then.

Why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

Hey there mcsafranek,
It sounds like you are getting prompted for your iCloud password very frequently. I would sign out of your iCloud account in Settings first:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
From: iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Then close all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into iCloud, and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists could you relay what exactly the message says when it pops up?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Why does my ipod touch 5th gen not charge when plugged into my computer? (it keeps stuttering(lightning symbol next to bettery goes on and off literally every second))

so I have my ipod touch 5th gen connect and the little lightning symbol, next to the battery on the top left, keeps flashing on and off every second. I don't know what to do and also it doesn't show up on iTunes.

Hey Ed, Try trouble shooting 101. Do you have a different cable and/or charging device? If so, try the different cable first, then a different charging device. If the problem goes away, I'd say it's the cable, replace it. If with in 1 from date of purchase, Apple will replace for free if the cable is found to be defective. If the problem continues with a different cable or a different charging device, then the problem is with your iPod. With a strong light and a magnifying glass look in the iPod's charging port. Your looking for damage in and around the port. Is the port lose? (shouldn't be). Are pieces missing or damaged? Bent or damaged contact pins can do what you describe. Foreign debris, namely pocket lint or corrosion can also cause charging issues. If you see something like lint, try to blow it out, or if you must use a non-conductive probe, I find a round wooden toothpick works well to carefully remove the lint from the bottom of the port. Just be careful to not touch, bend or damage the gold contact pins on the long side of the port. Also make sure the locking pins on the short ends (looks like two silver bumps, one on each end) of the port are free to move. If you find corrosion, try plugging / unplugging about 12 times to clean the contacts off. If you must use a cotton swab cut to fit, with a drop of 91% isopropyl alcohol on it, you want it damp, not wet, then plug it in and out until the swab comes out clean. You will most likely need several swabs. If you find nothing physically wrong, then try resetting your iPod. If that does not work, restore from backup, last resort, make a backup then restore to new, a full factory restore. If issue continues see your Apple store and have it evaluated for a possible hardware issue. But start with a different or new cable. Good luck, Cheers.

[Solved] Why continual disk access?

Just installed ArchLinux on an ASRock S330 nettop. Works great. My only concern at the moment is what appears to be intermittent but continuous disk activity every 2 seconds or so. At first I thought this might be gamin, but I killed that process and it made no difference.
Is there any way to determine what process is doing this and why? Below is a snapshot of running processes from "ps aux"

Query-ing to MSSQL every second... would there be no problem?

Hello,
i am yet new to java programming.
i have this project which calls for connecting to MSSQL and
echoing transactions committed to the database each time
a transaction at card reader is carried out. It's actually a
timekeeping data collection's magnetic card readers with
users swiping their cards at arbitrary time.
Apparently, the card reader needs a visual presentation of
each user's transactions because it has been my headache
attending to their concerns about what exactly happens
when they swipe their cards. Much as there's a light indicator
on the cardreader, still it doesn't make sense to them.
(for the record, the company bought that system from a third-party
vendor)
My concern is, would there be no problem that may surface if
i query to MSSQL at regular interval in seconds? I used TRIGGERS
to fire newly committed record to a temporary table (which i regularly
purge so that connection to it would be lightweight), and which
i access every second just to display
the last 3 transactions. Well, i completed the program and tested
it. So far, no problem. However, i dread about coming across
a so-to-speak "bomb"( which paralyzes the whole network and makes
my application unusable due to threats) when my program
has been fully implemented.
Is there no way other than per second query? pls help. =)
and by the way, transactions are flashed on
screen a little longer after the user has already swiped.
-- which bothers me right now.
hence, is there a faster way ( or, real-time)
to get the latest transations from MSSQL at the same
moment they are committed to the database?
pls help. =(
what about query every 250 milliseconds (1/4 of a second), would that be ok?

purged?
Why not just grab the last 3 transactions and not
worry about this temp table?
Also, is the problem giving feedback to users when
they swipe a card? Is there no why to tell when they
swiped?thank you. =)
<<--- it is a system, actually. it's just that it doesn't cater for
a friendlier user interface right at card reader station itself.
it has 1 pair of card readers; ie. one for IN and one for OUT
traffic.
The system may have a program that displays each transaction
but it doesn't filter its display ;i.e., users get mixed up with
both IN and OUT transactins both surfacing at the program's evnt
window. apparently, it isn't designed for users consumption.
hence, i made my own, echoing what has just been committed to the
database to the screen (of pc which my program is running on).
my plan is to have 2 screens -- one for OUT and one for IN station.
the info which i display is descriptive. therefore, users would know
what exactly happen to their transactions.
i used trigger to make access to temporary table lightweight.
or, am i wrong?
i just want to effect a real-time presentation of
each transaction the moment they are saved to the database.
right now, i employ every 250 millisecond query.. so far,
it does well. But my concern is, am i doing it the right way?
or, is there another way that really caters for my need?

Why can I access Internet, and get my email through yahoo, but can't access email when I use the mail icon on the front of my tablet. It just started doing this today.

Why can I access the Internet, even get my email by going through yahoo, but as of this morning I can not access my email from the mail icon on my tablet screen. It just started doing this today. When I try to get my email by going through the icon, I am asked to enter yahoo password. I do this, then the box just pops up again, and again and again never letting me get signed in. Don't know what I am doing wrong. Need help!

"Last devices used" menu every second over Ovi map...

Hello all,
I installed Ovi Maps on my phone, and have a huge problem with it: Every second the"Last devices used" pops up and goes away again.
Since a few years I own (and use) a Nokia N95, and I just used 'Setup Nokia Maps Update 1.0.8.exe' to get Ovi maps on my phone. Apparently I had to use 'Nokia Software Updater' to make sure I got the latest version. Done that too.Next step is to use the Nokia Map Loader to get the maps on there. Done that too.
Here is the version info of the installed map:
I have Bluetooth enabled. Now, when I use the maps, every second the"Last devices used" pops up and goes away again. Mildly irritating would be a severe understatement here. Switching Bluetooth off and starting the map again gives the question "Bluetooth is currently switched off. Switch on?". Every second. It seems impossible to answer the popup-question or do something with the popup-menu.
Is this a known prob by anyone, and can you please tell me a fix or workaround (preferably a fix of course)?
Thank you,
wlamee
Solved!
Go to Solution.

And I got a nippy reply from the Benelux Nokia Care.
The trick is I had to go to Tools -> Settings -> General -> Positioning -> Positioning Methods, and switch off 'Bluetooth GPS'. I think I always ahd this switched on and it never complained with the standard Nokia maps, but I'm not sure - I think I saw that menu only once, when I was palying with my GPS and the original maps.
But hey, it's fixed. Cool!

ITunes always accessing the iTunes store

I just upgraded my iTunes to version 7. Now always the bar at the top of the window is always accessing the iTunes store. Why does it do that? I don't want to access the store.

I have no more tricks up my sleeve other than maybe it is a firewall issue with your router.
You can tap or click on the heading below and read Apple's take on the issue. I really don't hold out much hope though that his kb article has any more to offer to you, but I am out of ideas now.

ToolBoxTools.addEventListener only works every second time

Hi!
Our layouts pretty often click on the "page tool" by mistake and it happened a few times, that they changes the size of the page without even noticing. Because there is no way to remove the tool from the toolbar (I guess?), I wanted to write a script, that at least shows a message, that the page tool ("Seitenwerkzeug" in german) was selected. Unfortunately the event listener only works every second time:
1. indesign starts > selection tool is active
2. click on page tool > message appears > page tool is active
3. click on "another tool1" > "another tool1" is active
4. click on "another tool2" > "another tool1" is active
5. click on page tool > nothing happens, the icon of the page tool is active, but the icon of the "another tool2" is still active, too, and "another tool2" is still activated
6. click on "another tool3" > "another tool3" is active
7. click on page tool > message appears > page tool is active
8. ......
Any idea why that is?
My script:
#targetengine myToolListener
app.toolBoxTools.addEventListener ("afterAttributeChanged", changeToolAlert);
function changeToolAlert() {
    if(app.toolBoxTools.currentToolName == "Seitenwerkzeug") {
        alert ("Message", "Title");
    exit(); //i tried with and without this!
At the beginning I tried to use an confirm message instead of an alert, which had the same problem and I thought it might be because the changing doesn't work... but it seems I can't even work with the information without something "crashing" in the background?
My previous confirm Function:
function changeToolConfirm() {
    if(app.toolBoxTools.currentToolName == "Seitenwerkzeug") {
        var confirmDialog = confirm("Do you really want to activate the page tool?", true);
        if(!confirmDialog) {
            app.toolBoxTools.currentTool = UITools.SELECTION_TOOL;
I really hope someone has an idea
Best,
Anke

Hi Anke,
The problem, I think, comes from the fact that the Page Tool selection event (which you listen to via afterAttributeChanged) needs some time to complete. Since the alert() or confirm() instruction gives the focus to a new modal window before the event life-cycle is finished, the GUI becomes instable, the PageTool icon state is not properly restored, and your event management goes wrong.
A way to solve this might be to queue a temporary IdleEvent listener once the Page Tool selection event is caught. That is, we do not initiate any modal dialog as long as the GUI is refreshing.
Something like this:
//====================================================
// PageToolDisclaimer.jsx
//====================================================
// Should be useable as a startup script, no #targetengine required
// NB - MutationEvent is known to create a global 'evt' variable
// so we don't seem to need a persistent session engine here :-)
// That's why the active script File is used as the event handler
(function(/*File*/EVENT_HANDLER, /*str*/TASK_NAME, /*uint*/TASK_TIME, /*str*/PAGE_TOOL_NAME)
    var t;
    // Installer
    if( !(t=app.toolBoxTools.eventListeners).length )
        t.add(MutationEvent.AFTER_ATTRIBUTE_CHANGED, EVENT_HANDLER);
        return;
    // IdleEvent handler (--> confirm)
    if( (t=app.idleTasks.itemByName(TASK_NAME)).isValid )
        t.eventListeners.everyItem().remove();
        t.remove();
        if( !confirm("***WARNING***\rDo you really want to activate the page tool?", true) )
            app.toolBoxTools.currentTool = UITools.SELECTION_TOOL;
        return;
    // PageTool event handler
    if( ('evt' in $.global) && 'currentToolName'==evt.attributeName && PAGE_TOOL_NAME==evt.attributeValue )
        evt.stopPropagation();
        app.idleTasks.add({name:TASK_NAME, sleep:TASK_TIME})
              .addEventListener(IdleEvent.ON_IDLE, EVENT_HANDLER);
})(app.activeScript, 'WaitPageTool', 400, app.translateKeyString('$ID/Page Tool'));
Hope that helps.

How to read two files (one is updating every second, the other is constant) simoltaneously

Dear All,
I will appreciate if somebody help me.
I want to read two files, one is temperature wich is updating every second, and the other is hysteresis energy which has specific rows and is constant.
I got a program in discussion forum which read a file as it is updating. I checked this program in my case and it works.
Then I added reading hysteresis energy file to the existing file. But while i am running the program, the hysteresis energy file is read with all rows.
But the aim is that everytime which temperature updates, I need to read just one row of the hysteresis energy file.
so, in this way in every second i have a new temperature data and one row of the other file.
I tried to used "for loop" inside the program, but it did not work, becuase reading temperature will be stopped untill for loop ends.
I attached the program.
Could somebody help me how to read just one row of hysteresis energy file everytime temperature updates?
Solved!

I do not understand relationship between your two files.
You have another VI or app that is writing data to both files and when new temperature data added you wish just to read the new data and then read one new line of the hysteresis file?????
But is one is constant, why do you need to keep reading it?
Anyway…
The “Read From Spreadsheet File.vi” preformed an Open and a Close for each time it is called (if you will open the VI up and drill down and you will see). So that resets the file pointer back to the beginning and there for will read in the whole file from the first to the last each time if you do not set the start of read offset or number of rows.
Now the Read from Binary File does not reset the file pointer and leaves the file pointer just past the last byte read so it will start with any new bytes automaicly only giving you the new data.
I do not think you need to do the math with the Previous EOF=0 and the File size to get what I think you are trying to do.
Plus use shift reg for the Data string instead of local var
Set the mechinacl action of the stop botton to Latched
So you do not need to init the two controls
Also, I do not get the End of file encountered error (4) from the Read from Binary file if I attempt to read past. It just returns and empty string.
