Evolution fails to see some messages in Inbox
by Jonathan Ryshpan 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

I see no messages displayed in Inbox earlier than Sept 11, 2007, though I know there are earlier ones. If I search Inbox for a message that I know is there, received in 2005, it's not found. But if I search the *Account*, rather than Inbox, for the same message it is found. Can anyone explain this? Inbox is rather large: 3032 unread 8014 total

Dual Athlon cpu
by Mike Chambers 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

Running dual athlons using the i386 (or 686 depending the package) F9 release (this is an x86_64 system), is there some services that need to be enabled for them to be maximized in their use? Things such as cpuspeed and such need to be on? In other words (and not that knowledgeable in this area), can you even tell if it's being used correctly, and if your just doing small things, such as checking email, browsing, those type things, is it used then as well, or more for when doing things like compiling one program, then doing all the other stuff like normal? Hope I worded my question right LOL -- Mike Chambers Fedora Project - Ambassador, Bug Zapper, Tester, User, etc.. mikec302(a)fedoraproject.org

Mirror bandwidth and user redirection
by Matt Domsch 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

Tonight I deployed a slight update to MirrorManager that I'd been wanting to do for a while. The basic selection algorithm for choosing the order in which to return mirrors to clients remains the same: prefer same netblocks, internet2 in same country if on internet2, same country, same continent, then global, in that order. However, until now, faster mirrors (those with larger bandwidths) were returned with equal probability as slower mirrors. This means not enough traffic was being sent to our gigabit-connected mirrors, and too much traffic was being sent to our slower mirrors. Each mirror's bandwidth value is now used as a weight. Mirrors with larger bandwidth will have a a higher probability of being returned earlier in the mirrorlist selection. Slower mirrors can still be returned as the first mirrorlist selection because this is based on probabilities, but should not be overwhelmed anymore. For countries with fewer mirrors, such as India, where there's some relatively fast mirrors, and several relatively slower mirrors, this should mean that users will more often get directed to the faster mirrors.
