Move Tmp To Ramfs/Tmpfs


This article will show you how to create a ramfs/tmpfs partition and how to change the tmpdir variable to quicken copy to tmp queries. Keep in mind this only speeds up the IO portion of maintaining multiple indexed result sets due to query structure, the best performance increase would be gained from query analysis.

ramfs vs tmpfs


RamFS will use up all of your memory regardless of the size you set and it also never uses swap. TmpFS will use up only what you have assigned to it and it will use swap for idle ram.
Typically you will want to use tmpfs, but its important to know the differences.

Creating a ram partition


You need to create a new mount to go about doing this.

The below will create a 100mb tmpfs ( ram based ) partition and mount it. 

# mkdir /tmpfs

# mount -t tmpfs -o size=100m tmpfs /tmpfs/


Thank you.

SVN: File remains in conflict





















  This error occurs when you didn't update the SVN and try to commit changes or, someone has made changes to this file that are conflicting with your changes.     There are two ways to handle this situation. Either, you can revert back the changes you want to commit and then, update the SVN and after that make the changes again and commit. The other way is, you need to resolve the conflicted files one by one. You can keep all the conflicted files in a folder and resolved it at once.     >> Revert the changes steps:     svn revert . -R     svn up     >> Resolve the conflicted files:     svn resolved <file_name>

HowTo: Enable extended logging for exim





















 When troubleshooting mail or attempting to discover the source of spam  originating from your server, it is often useful to enable extended Exim  logging.   You can enable extended logging for exim though your shell prompt as well as through WHM interface. I am giving the steps for both ways one by one:   1. Through shell prompt:   1. Open exim.conf  2) Find this:   hostlist auth_relay_hosts = *  3) After hostlist auth_relay_hosts = *  add the following:  log_selector = +address_rewrite +all_parents +arguments +connection_reject +delay_delivery +delivery_size +dnslist_defer +incoming_interface +incoming_port +lost_incoming_connection +queue_run +received_sender +received_recipients +retry_defer +sender_on_delivery +size_reject +skip_delivery +smtp_confirmation +smtp_connection +smtp_protocol_error +smtp_syntax_error +subject +tls_cipher +tls_peerdn 4) The final result should look like this  hostlist auth_relay_hosts = * log_selector = +address_rewrite +all_parents +arguments +connecti
