Hi, can anyone please suggest a tool to dump i/o packets just like tcpdump does for network traffic. Basically I have a complex dataflow that needs to be optimized and I want to see how packets go to/from disk - what goes randomly and sequentially.

Thanks

Wuzzup!

HI everyone,

I tried to install btrfs on my root filesystem (/), this is what I did :

install debian with :
/boot (ext2) (for grub),
/ (ext3),
swap,
grub on MBR.

compile the 2.6.31-rc4 from kernel.org with btrfs support
test the new kernel by rebooting (worked fine)
install btrfs-tools from debian sid repository (0.19-2)

boot on a ubuntu 9.04 live cd

is that true??

Underrun in alsa audio (wake_up() is not working in linux-2.6.25)

Issue:

If I play the wav file using "aplay", underrun error occurs.

I am suspecting the issue in driver or in kernel code.

I am using the following setup:

a) Application and Library:
aplay in alsa-utils-1.0.16 and alsa-lib-1.0.16.
b) Platform: imx27
c) kernel: linux-2.6.25

Hardware & Software parameters for aplay:

Ahoy there!

nanosleep high CPU usage

I noticed that a little test program which calls nanosleep is showing a huge difference in CPU usage when run on Linux machines with a kernel newer than 2.6.22.

#include
int main (void)
{
struct timespec sleepTime;
struct timespec returnTime;
sleepTime.tv_sec = 0;
sleepTime.tv_nsec = 1000;
while (1)
{
nanosleep(&sleepTime, &returnTime);
}
