Linux cache evictions No - vfs_cache_pressure controls the ratio of meta data vs pagecache retention (at least according to the docs I've read and the experiments I've run) |

Can I read what CCFLAGS were used for building a binary? Thanks Shadok - if you add this as an answer I'll accept it. In my case the code was compiled with gcc 4.5 :) but the binary in question has been stripped :( |

How do I test that two connected serial ports really transmit data? I'd have used minicom myself. |

Fast way to copy a large file on a LAN Runing rsync against a file accessed over NFS means that the entire contents of the file needs to copied over the network at least once. You don't need a daemon to invoke a client/server rsync - just run it over ssh. (it's theoretically possible to invoke the remote end over telnet / rsh - but rather silly to run such a service in practice - ssh doesn't add a lot of overhead). |

Importance of fsck at boot with Journalled filesystems? psusi - what have you been smoking? " Disks do not report writes as completed before..." - yes they do. "enable the write cache, which is disabled by default" - not on any disk I've ever configured. "barriers are used to prevent reordering" - but you said I was "conflating ordering with barriers" |

Run unix command precisely at very short intervals WITHOUT accumulating time lag over time I think it's also very probable that the programs porg has tested block while running the intended process - which logically they should do to avoid killing the machine they are running on. |

handling right click with single button mouse (tablet) For simplicity I'm probably going to go down the noVNC route - which makes it much simpler to swap the event strings in Javascript, or use xmodmap -e 'pointer=3 2 1....' serverside (with a timer to restore) |

Ethernet Sniffing Embeded Device My vote would be for wireshark. You might also want to get hold of a cross over cable in case the device acts as a hub / router / bridge. |

How can I autostart GDM on Fedora 15? Did you check what runlevel (fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd#How_do_I_change_the_runlevel.3F) you were booting into? Not familiar with upstart on Fedora, but I believe chkconfig can still be used to add/remove services from runlevels. |

What is the appropriate value of vm.swappiness when using zram? "increasingly fast"? On the fly compression has been performing better than direct disk I/O for more than the past decade (its never going to be faster than memory access - that's not the point) |

MySQL socket and PHP (and other languages) ...and if so what's the permissions? Also what does SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'socket'; report? Are you using the same username to connect using the mysql cli as php? |

Is there a config file for telnet that's similar to .ssh/config? What is it that you're wanting to configure? What is it that can be configured in ssh which overrides / is equivalent to the data in /etc/hosts? |
