I've been programming since I was about 9, and have recently turned my focus to smartphone development. I have a fairly strong background in Java, C#, PHP, Linux administration, and all of the lovely little technologies that support them.

Differentiate between Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Tab in UDEV rule? Sorry, I completely missed the "serial" field... I guess that answers the question :/ |

BluRay Burner High I/O Wait State with UDF; Optimization Possible? @psusi... I had the same feeling. They're Hitachi 2TB/7200RPM/64MB drives, with that particular partition being a RAID 0 stripe of 1/3 of the two (1.4TB). Not blazingly fast, but certainly not slouches. Don't worry, all of my critical stuff is on a RAID 1 partition; I actually mounted this space as /unreliable, and only use it for holding DVR'd shows and stuff I can readily download again. |

BluRay Burner High I/O Wait State with UDF; Optimization Possible? Sometimes the simplest answer is the best one; I had to accept this for suggesting using something different. After switching from rsync -tr to cp -ur, although the wait state on the 1 core was still 100% (25% total), the system no longer comes to a grinding halt. Apparently the overhead of rsync took it over the top. Best of all, my MythTV VM was able to successfully DVR a show while it was running without a hiccup! (I lose some minor functionality in the switch, but I consider it a worthwhile tradeoff). |

BluRay Burner High I/O Wait State with UDF; Optimization Possible? I certainly understand the 25% being 1 of 4 cores, and I guess I hadn't put much though behind the overhead of rsync.
I still have a hard time believing that the low throughput of the BD-RE drive could completely lock up ALL I/O on the system. It just feels like maybe I have a setting somewhere incorrect (I know it's SATA, but in the IDE days there were DMA settings/etc.).
I just checked my MythWeb "recordings" page, and EVERY recording during the period it was running was trashed. The card has a HW MPEG encoder, so it uses very low I/O (~600KB/s), but the BD drive completely took over. |

Linux compatible motherboard I would agree with @Keith; I've been using Linux for well over a decade, and in the last 7-8 years, the only systems I've had an issue with are those with bleeding edge hardware. For example, if the latest chipset was just released, and you get the board the first week it's available, there may be minor issues since on e of the devs haven't gotten their hands on that hardware yet. Buy a board that's a 6-12 month old model, with an Intel or AMD chipset, and chances are you'll be fine (Note: I've NEVER had an issue with ANY Intel hardware). |
