Configure udhcpc for Setting IP netmask and Gateway

How to Configure udhcpc for Setting IP netmask and Gateway?
Tell udhcpc client to run on eht1 interface with -i option.
Also use -s option to tell udhcpc client to use script from specified path.
/sbin/udhcpc -i eth1 -p /var/run/dhcpClient-wifi.pid -s /usr/share/udhcpc-wifi/default.script &

default.script directs the udhcpc to executes one by one scripts from specified folder ie /usr/share/udhcpc-wifi/
else default folder location for udhcpc script is /usr/share/udhcpc/

For directing IP address to temp file obtained using udhcpc client or for DHCP, do little
modification in sample.bound file.
Here is Sample udhcpc renew script, which will update the ip address, netmask and gatway obtained
by boradcasting. The new values will be updataed in /var/dhcpfile.

#!/bin/sh
# Sample udhcpc renew script

RESOLV_CONF="/etc/resolv.conf"

[ -n "$broadcast" ] && BROADCAST="broadcast $broadcast"
[ -n "$subnet" ] && NETMASK="netmask $subnet

echo $ip > /var/dhcpfile
echo $subnet >> /var/dhcpfile

/sbin/ifconfig $interface $ip $BROADCAST $NETMASK

if [ -n "$router" ]
then
echo "deleting routers"
while /sbin/route del default gw 0.0.0.0 dev $interface
do :
done

for i in $router
do
/sbin/route add default gw $i dev $interface
echo $i > /var/dhcp_gw_wifi
done
fi

Same file can be extended to work on multiple interfaces link eth0 eth1 using $interface

example

if [ "$interface" == "eth0" ];
then
echo $ip > /var/dhcpfile
echo $subnet >> /var/dhcpfile
else
echo $ip > /var/dhcpfile1
echo $subnet >> /var/dhcpfile1
fi

Linux SMB write performance With Simple Tips

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...
