Handling connection/disconnection is your automounter daemon "autofs".
Disconnection in a DFS means a certain degree of replication: you still are able to work on your files even you you have no access to you repository, or you are off-line. Autofs doesn't do that, altough you can have some rsync's scripts to partially solve the problem, it's not a scalable or viable workaround for several users.
NIS on the other hand is not a good solution for WAN connections or different networks. Should you use this kind of soultion, I'd take a look to openldap instead.
NFS is not distributed, it's only "networked" or "remote". I t doesn't support any: replication, disconnection, sharing, distribution. It is centralised, requires the same user names|numberpace and security.
In one word, it's far away of the requirements, at least if you compare them with the listed FS in the question.
Quick, what are the differences between execl, execlp, execle, execv, and execvp? If you're not using these every day, you'll be hitting man 3 exec often.
It's plain wrong in the example. The execs...semantics are pretty clear, every letter has a concise meaning:
"l" (linear?) means all argvs to the program are passed in a variable number of arguments. That's to say, the arguments to the program are explicit in the paramaters of the funcion. The number is variable, the end marked by a NULL argument.
"v" (virtual?) means almost the oppossite, that the arguments of the programa will be passed from a variable sized array of char pointers, the last one indicated by NULL.
"e" (environment) You also pass the environment variables as argument.
"p" (path) Search the executable in the directories especified in the environment variable PATH.
So, as a OS teacher, I see them quite clear, sistematic and consistent, at least much more clear than strncmp()/ strncasecmp(), just to mention a pair.
... This advice is akin to saying that one shouldn't buy a Honda because they are targeted by thieves -- it's not saying that Hondas are easier to steal than other cars....
Most of the thieves are so lazy that they avoid hard targets.
can't really understand the reason to add threading support... It's kinda like putting a bigger engine in a Corvette without putting more rubber on the ground.. It's a waste really, the program is so fast already with such low overhead that I have never had any problems with speed... Maybe I'm just missing something and there really is a great reason for this... I just don't see it.
Bad, bad, moderators:-). He is not a troll, he's a moron.
It doesn't mean anything like "POSIX Threads. "Threads in Pine" means "message threading", you know, that magic thing that sort and "join" related messages. As my answer to you, here in/.
Last week I've lost my disk, after failing for months. I thought ReiserFS was the guilty. When the disk was unrecoverable, I checked it with badblocks -f, it was the hardware.
Something which I didn't find. Which filesystem did he used for the tests?
OS X FS (HFS+) is not journaled. OTH, which FS in Linux? Ext3 is journaled and not very good for large directories without htree patch. ReiserFS is really fast for small files and creating new files. XFS very fast for large files...
That's to say, the filesystem is possibly the bottleneck for those database and sandmail test. And don't forget the huge amount of apache log lines generated during the benchmarks.
OTH, why did he disable fsync in sendmail? Any doubt in filesystem/cache performance on OS X?
And.. for god sake, he didn't found how to disable the Aqua environment? And the console login whithout a password, what? One of my student found it in couple of seconds in Google.
Finally Bill Gates found the way to hit Linus with a bus. errr, no, literally, no... err, did you say Linux and crash? That's an oxymoron guy, surely, Billy is behind the scenes.
Err... yes!, Linux?, crash?, Crysler?, Linus doesn't write in linux-kernel for a few days... Oh my god, it's true. They hit Linus!!!
I am a reader from Spain and wanted to compare
prices between local cablemodems and adsl vs.
USA prices. I've read the article but although
it does describe prices, it doesn't specify
the bandwidth (it's like saying "bananas price
is 10 cents" and you get no idea, one banana?
a pound?..).
So, what's the bandwidth of the prices described
in the link?
PS: In Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain) a 300 kbps
cable modem is about $38. 256 kbps ADSL
about the same, taxes included.
Curious we discussed this issue in our LUG web page (in Spanish) three days ago. We were surprised Alan seems not to want the job, and Marcelo Tosatti didn't answer publically.

Months ago I've made public a one liner patch... patched my kernel. Mama, mama!!!

Yeah,, yeah, standards are good, you have many to choose from.

In Debian is basically:
apt-get install qt6codecs
If you have:

in your sources.list.

With or without the extended paging bug?
You are completely wrong. __All__ journal file systems assure __filesystem__ consistency, which means that metadada consistency is guaranteed.
Some of them don't assure data consistency, which means the data __in__ the file could be inconsistent if there were changes not commited to disk.
AFAIK, ext3 also provides/provided (it's expensive) data consistency.
OTH, Linus continues assuming is Alan the responsible (Spanish too).
