Dynamic linking and static linking

By 
*   A dynamicllay linked executable is smaller than its statically
   counterpart.  It saves disk and virtual memory, as libraries
   are only mapped in to the process when needed.

*   All executables dynamically linked to a particular library share
   a single copy of the library at runtime.  The kernel ensures that
   libraries mapped into memory are shared by all processes using
   them.  This provides better I/O and swap space utilization and
   in sparing of physical memory, improving overall system throughput.

*   Dynamic linking permits easy versioning of libraries.  New libraries
   can be shipped; once installed on the system, old programs
   automatically get the benefit of the new version without needing
   to be relinked.

*   Finally (much less common), dynamically linking allows users to
   select at runtime which library to execute against.  It's possible
   to create library versions that are tuned for speed, or for
   memory efficiency, or that contains extra debugging information,
   and allow the user to express a preference when execution takes
   place by substituting one library file for another.

Linux SMB write performance With Simple Tips

By
SMB write performance can be increased by Tuning the buffer cache. The secret to good performance is to keep as much of the data in memory for as long as is possible. Writing to the disk is the slowest part of any filesystem. If you know that the filesystem will be heavily used, then you can tune this process for Linux Samba. writing out dirty blocks to the disk until the filesystem buffer cache is 80 percent full (80). default is 40%, source = http://tldp.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3/chap29sec287.html by writing echo 80 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio I am getting around 2MB increase while write operation, tested in Xp. I have tried with this single option, as the ref source is for linux 2.2 and we are using 2.6 kernel. we can try out Linux General Optimization suggested at http://tldp.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3/gen-optim.html Tried with smb.conf, I am getting around 1MB gain while read and write. socket options = TCP_NODELAY I...

The Linux Foundation Free Training Program at linuxfoundation

By
The Linux Foundation Training Program is: * For the Community, by the Community. The Linux Foundation is building the program with its Technical Advisory Board to ensure the content, instructors and classes are the top quality available. * Technically the most advanced. Since the Linux Foundation works directly with community developers, it can cover features and advances in Linux before commercial companies. * Connected. The Linux Foundation has unfettered access to the leading developers and companies in the Linux ecosystem and will use these connections to best position attendees for success. For example, attendees can attend the exclusive, invite-only Collaboration Summit where they can forge connections beneficial to their career. * Real World. The Linux Foundation training courses all have hands on components and a highly rigorous curriculum of programming or administration exercises. Graduates will be well equipped to master Linux programming and system administr...
