I am using eAccelerator to cache my PHP opcodes. I have the disk cache set to /var/cache/eAccelerator. How can I limit the size of the cache? It's already grown to 1.5 GiB and keeps growing!
What are some good ways of increasing disk performance on Linux?
I'm not interested in hdparm settings, since those are:
set to good defaults in recent distros;
not applicable to SATA drives.

I want to backup a disk from a remote system, but the remote system itself has not enough space available. Now I want to use ddand pipe the output through ssh, but I can't figure out how to do it. I read several sources on the web, but I'm stuck now.
Can someone please point me to a good resource or write down the command line with explanations?
I have several users that are insisting on the purchase of Toast. They will be using it to make backups of disks at possibly re-burn them if needed. I have used Disk Utility for that function. At this point there is no addition functionality needed. However, that can always change in the future. Is there any advantages or disadvantages to either solution?
I've got Ubuntu 9.10 installed in an NTFS partition. After an update, I started getting kernel panics, so I need to reinstall it. But before I do that, I need to retrieve and backup my home directory. I believe Ubuntu's file system is packaged in the root.disk image. So how do I mount it in Windows?

Does anyone know if it is possible (and linear) to port a LaCie Big Disk (hardware based array 0) to a linux server? Can I just install the HD's on the server and then mdadm it?
Thank you!
I'm getting a new development laptop soon, and I'm thinking of using TrueCrypt to encrypt the whole disk.
What kind of performance drop can I expect? 10%? 30%? more? Also, assuming the workload has an effect, would compiling/using Visual Studio be affected much? I cannot seem to find anything like this on the web.
I'm working on vmware image files. My computer always load hard disk and vmware works very slow at the same time.
Guest OS: Windows XP SP2
Host OS: Windows XP SP2
Is there any way can improve the performance?
I have this problem with server running CakePHP application. The server is insanely slow, I first thought that it's application problem, but then I found constant 5-6MB/s write to disk.
What is the easiest way to find cause of such a heavy write?
The server is running Gentoo.
The HP DL380 G7 has 3 SAS disks in RAID 5 configuration. I need to change that server to another task and instead of make a clean install on the HP DL380 G6 can i just swap the 3 disks from HP DL380 G7 to the HP DL380 G6?
I expect some driver issues maybe on the OS itself because the processor is different.
They both use Smart Array P410i, if i power down the machines swap the disk by the same order
will the RAID 5 configuration remain and the OS will boot?

I want to install Ubuntu from a non bootable Ubuntu disk. I currently have Windows XP installed. How can I do that?
My intention is to remove Windows completely.
Back in the day, floppy disks were a: and if you were lucky b:, then when permanent storage came along c: was the default for hard disks (as I remember it)
Now that many computers no longer have floppy disks is it possible to have your primary hard disk as A: is the convention out dated?
Removable drives (like DVDs and flash readers) now seem to take lower precedence than permanent storage so it is a bit of an oddity that floppy disks should have higher letters.
Upon starting Windows Server 2008 R2 I get this error message:
Event ID 11 Disk
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk3\DR3.
There are also also 3 more similar messages for Harddisk 2, 4, and 5, but not zero or 1.
Checking the event viewer reveals it's been going on for 3 months.
I ran chkdsk - no bad sectors.
Any advice on the cause, better still, a solution?

So I screwed up my grub.conf file on a CentOS system and I'm in recovery right now (it's only a test dedicated server). My disks are /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 (RAID 1). Now I need to mount /dev/sda1 and make changes to the grub file, however those changed need to be reflected on the second disk aswell.
How do I mount these RAID disks? I can mount one using mount -t ext3however it will damage the RAID array.
I have Maxtor Basics Desktop 1TB external USB drive connected to Windows XP. The dirve's firmware puts it to sleep after 10-20 min of inactivity and then the drive cannot be mounted unless I reset it via power connector.
While in sleep mode I can see the device in the Device Manager under both Disk drives and USB sections.
Is there a way to get the drive out of sleep mode without hard reset?
Thanks
