So what's the disease and what is the cure? Is the file system repeatedly traversing a growing linked-list of directory entries?

The destination drive has no bad sectors, so no remapping. It's...

Opening the CF card doesn't seem to be the problem. It is the file operations that have a problem. I was able to watch the transfer rate progressively collapse over a few tens of seconds. It is...

I was transferring 1,000 x 4.8MB images from a USB 2.0 connected CF memory card and found that the transfer rate slowed dramatically as the files were moved.

Initially Nautilus reported 15MB/sec...

It looks like the answer might be here:

I have a dozen Ubuntu 10.10 machines connected to a wired LAN. Much of the time I'm able to access any of the Linux machine's Samba shares from my main workstation... the system runs for days without...

I have a dozen Ubuntu 10.10 machines connected to a wired LAN. The network is served by a Motorola 2210 VDSL modem and an AT&T (Edgewater) 250AEW router and various multi-port switches. The Edgewater...

No I haven't looked at the assembler code. It is a VERY long time since I read such stuff and I never did get along with Intel 8080 assembler code -- I preferred the 6800 code (that's how long ago...

I'm trying some simple experiments using gcc and SSE intrinsics to speed up a quite conventional image filter convolution.

I compile with: -g -march=pentium4 -Wall -Wextra -O3 -mmmx -msse -msse2...

This guy seems to have figured how to do it:

I'm about to start a new project which will read many jpeg images and I started the exploratory work to read the EXIF data. One thing lead to another and I stumbled upon libjpeg-turbo.

Wow, I...

Thanks. Defining the __USE_GNU allows the prototype for feenableexcept to become visible but defining the "documented" _GNU_SOURCE does not.

I'm using the default -std=gnu89 so I guess that is why...

I'm using gcc 4.4.5 and C code. I'm compiling with all the SSE floating point options for the x86, turned on.

I find that gcc does not recognize the STDC FENV_ACCESS pragma defined in C99.

This advice has proven VERY helpful. :popcorn: The documentation for FSTAB is quite misleading. It reads:

user - Permit any user to mount the filesystem. This automatically implies noexec,...

I have just installed Clementine on one of my desktop machines which allows me to explore things more comfortably. The 'target' machine which is running Clementine is hooked up to my main sound...

I have the same issue with Banshee and other music players. They are all geared exclusively to popular music with a hierarchy of performer/album/song. It's disappointing that there is no automatic...

It's my own damned fault. I figured it was time to update the OS (9.04) on my music server which was working just fine. It's a VERY old Sempron based board with VIA Unichrome integrated graphics. I...

Thanks for writing this up. It worked perfectly.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 in an 'appliance' application. There is no keyboard or mouse, just a power button. This works fine since I have a script that launches my application when Ubuntu starts.

I recently solved (with some help from folks on this forum) a problem I had with getting Ubuntu & Samba to provide a SharedDocs directory similar to that in Windows XP.
The difficulty I had was...

I just completed a test from one Ubuntu machine to a shared directory on another Ubuntu machine with Samba conf settings of:
force create mode = 0777
and
force directory mode = 0777

Capscrew,
As Hal said: this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

Perhaps, but expectations are expectations and a good user interface needs to be intuitive. Samba running on Ubuntu declares unambiguously that it has a "Windows Network" not a...

All I'm saying is that Windows creates the illusion that it provides a peer-to-peer networking environment. Linux with Samba doesn't provide the same illusion, however, it is that illusion that most...

My feelings are that the Samba installation needs more and clearer installation options via the GUI. The current set-up appears to make things straightforward and a naive user, who is familiar with...

Hold that. User spelling error! creat and create..
