fdisk Compilation for ARM-Target board Errors

By
Today Trying my luck with compiling fdisk utility;

Source code at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/fdisk

Current fdisk 1.0 is July 7 2007 370K source .tar.gz

./configure --disable-cfdisk --host=arm-linux --build=i686 --disable-largefile
./configure says to install GNU/Parted before compiling.
It needs parted/parted.h.


http://www.gnu.org/software/parted Latest version is 1.8.7 of May 2007.
1.4GB source code tar.gz.
./configure --host=arm-linux --build=i686
configure: error: GNU Parted requires libuuid - a part of the e2fsprogs package (but
GNU Parted requires libuuid - a part of the e2fsprogs package (but
sometimes distributed separately in uuid-devel or similar)
This can probably be found on your distribution's CD or FTP site or at:
http://web.mit.edu/tytso/www/linux/e2fsprogs.html
Note: if you are using pre compiled packages you will also need the development
package as well (which may be called e2fsprogs-devel or something similar).
If you compile e2fsprogs yourself then you need to do 'make install' and
'make install-libs'.

I got the e2fsprogs tools, still same error.
Well while doing this I discovered about an easy way of cross-compilation ie Scratchbox;
will post more about Scratchbox after I install and test it.

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...
