ntfsprogs and Fuse Compilation errors and Solution here

By
Got some luck to compile ntfsprogs. Ntfsprogs are a collection of utilities for doing stuff with NTFS volumes. Steps to compile ntfsprogs .
1. get the FUSE and compile it.
$ tar xvzf fuse-2.7.4.tar.gz
$ ./configure --disable-kernel-module
$ make
getting error while compiling examples dir.

libtool: link: gcc -Wall -W -Wno-sign-compare -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wwrite-strings -g -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -o .libs/fusexmp fusexmp.o -pthread -pthread ../lib/.libs/libfuse.so -ldl
../lib/.libs/libfuse.so: undefined reference to `clock_gettime'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bhagwat/fuse-2.7.4/example'
Solution is
$ cd examples
open Makefile go to line no 205 change the option from -ldl to -lrt
$ cd ../make
$ make install

FUSE will be installed in default dir ie /usr/local/lib
Get the ntfsprogs from linux-ntfs. untar ntfsprograms
$ tar xvzf ntfsprogs-2.0.0.tar.gz
$ ./configure --enable-ntfsmount

still getting same error
smount ntfsmount-ntfsmount.o ntfsmount-utils.o -pthread ../libntfs/.libs/libntfs.so -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libfuse.so -ldl
/usr/local/lib/libfuse.so: undefined reference to `clock_gettime'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [ntfsmount] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/bhagwat/ntfsprogs-2.0.0/ntfsprogs'

so go to ntfsprogs and change the -ldl option to -lrt in Makefile.
and done.
I got successfully compiled ntfsprogs and got ntfsmount for my embedded linux box.
Note:- I have compiled these utilities in Scratchbox is a cross-compilation toolkit designed to make embedded Linux application development easier.
Also note that FUSE require libpthred lib in scratchbox home, before compiling setup libpthred also.
The shortcut to all this compilation error and efforts is use Debian pre-compiled source for ntfsprogs for ARM.

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...
