Hi

Is there a tool to read HFSX partition label

I tried with blkid => It is ok with HFS+ partitions but for HFSX ( MAC OSX extended case sensitive) the label is empty

Any comments is welcome

The GCM cipher mode is now included in the mainline kernel. It is, at least in theory, a very viable alternative to less secure modes as far as speed is concerned, but also offers some degree of authentication.

Just one problem- I can't figure out how to get the thing working under LUKS with cryptsetup.

I've tried various permutations of:

(cipher)-gcm-essiv:(hash)

Hi, I am running a network server and a very large sql database and have noticed some wierd stats in top. I am new to the top output so this may be really simple... I see in some instances where the total %cpu time goes over 100 between updates. Is this normal, more so how do I interpret this?

Hi,all

if I input "iostat -dx" in shell, it will output the followings:

What is ELF LSB executable in Linux?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

what's the common practice for describing the authors and the copyright of kernel code released under the GPL2?

Let's make an example:

the developer A releases a code.c for the linux kernel and specifies himself and other contributors as Authors.

Some time later the developer B

- refactors the same piece of code (due to massive core changes)
- adds new functionalities

How can one get cpu id on which the thread is running from user space in executable?

I want to know the definition of traffic accounting

Hello all,

Apologies in advance if it's a stupid question, but I can't find its solution anywhere else. I am trying to shape network traffic on an interface (100Mbps) which should only permit 1.5Mbps bandwidth and has sfq filter attached to it. I have used the following tc qdiscs.

Hi All,

I tried dowloading the linux staging tree through git clone
and in the next step " ketchup `cat ../staging/version`" downloaded few MB of partial kernel to root/.ketchup and while checking for gpg signature it failed.

I have a question about swap. Will swap be used if the process is active and using all of the physical ram?

It was my understanding that swap will _not_ be used if the process is active. We have an application that uses all of the physical ram then gets an OOM error and crashes but we have 4 gb of swap and i just wanted to be sure i am understanding it right or not understanding it right.

I am using a bus adapter to allow access from a VME system to a user shared memory segment. The driver for the adapter can not handle physical addresses above 4GB. Unfortunately, I have 16GB in my system. I would like to force the physical memory addresses returned by shmget() to be below the 4GB boundary.

Having an issue with CentOS 5.1 - after install there is a process called nash-hotplug that is running and consuming 100% of one of my CPU cores (QuadCore Xeon CPU). Seems to be a 'nice' process as it steps out of my way when other apps need all the CPU, but I am struggling to understand what it is.
