high i/o dirs
by Robert Arkiletian
Rebuilding an nfs fileserver. I want to put the high i/o directories
on a separate raid 1 array for performance. Currently everything is
under / in one raid 10 array.
How can I tell which directories, obviously other than /home, are
getting high reads and/or writes? Any tools to measure read/write i/o
per directory?
Thanks

OT: Improving laptop wifi reception
by Paul Smith
Dear All,
Is there some device that can boost a laptop wifi reception? In the
library where I spend some time studying, I usually get a signal with
a quality of about 20%.
Thanks in advance,

Despite having done this countless times before, I had a funny feeling
that something was about to go wrong. Sure enough, after a reboot, I found
that I could not log in to my gnome desktop.
When I try, it starts to build the gnome desktop, gets as far as loading
the background, sometimes some of the icons, and then freezes. I have a
mouse pointer, but nothing to click on. There is no option but to
CTRL-ALT-F2 to a terminal, log in as root and reboot the machine.
I can however log in as a different user. This works absolutely fine.
The only difference between my account and the other user's account is
that I have desktop effects enabled on mine. (Just the "workspace on a
cube" option - the "wobbly windows" make me feel seasick).
Naturally I have root access (either from a terminal, or from an xterm in
another user's account).
My questions:
1) Is it possible to disable the wobbly windows desktop effect from the
command line? If so, how?
2) Does anybody else have this problem?
3) Is there a fix?
4) Should I report a bug? If so, against what, and to whom?
Please help me to get back into my desktop!
Thanks
Mark

file transfer in LAN
by CA G Rajesh
Hello,
I am running a SHO, with 3 systems. I have fedora-15 installed in all
the systems. IP addresses are automatically assigned through dhcp.
On configuring empathy to view nearby systems (telepathy-salut), I have
marked mdns as trusted services in system-config-firewall and add
tcp5222 and tcp5298 as trusted ports too. Still I could not transfer
file in LAN. File transfer is possible when firewall is disabled.
Am I going wrong somewhere? I need file transfer badly and I am afraid
to keep firewall disabled. Please find me some solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rajesh
