This is a good primer for getting familiar with using Infiniband with Redhat/Centos Linux.

Getting Started with InfiniBand
The first step to using a new infiniband based network is to get the right packages installed. These are the infiniband related packages we ship and what they are there for (Note, the Fedora packages have not all been built or pushed to the repos yet, so their mention here is as a "Coming soon" variety, not an already done variety):
Recital 10 enhances the SQL optimizer. Now, production indexes with a FOR <conditions> will be used to optimize SQL SELECT statements. If a WHERE <condition> on a SELECT statement matches a FOR <condition> on an index tag, this index will be used to optimize the query. The WHERE <condition> must be an exact match with the FOR <condition>. For example;
USE accounts INDEX on account_no TAG outstanding FOR balance > 0 EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE balance > 0 Optimized using for condition on tag 'OUTSTANDING'
A good article describing the configuration of samba for file/record locking can be found here.
You can further tune samba by following this guide.
Basically you must add these directives to the smb.conf file:
[data] oplocks = False level2 oplocks = False
The default oplock type is Level1. Level2 oplocks are enabled on a per-share basis in the smb.conf file. Alternately, you could disable oplocks on a per-file basis within the share:
veto oplock files = /*.dbf/*.DBF/*.ndx/*.NDX/*.dbx/*.DBX/*.dbt/*.DBT/
You can further tune samba by following this guide.
If you specify the Common Internet File System (CIFS) when you mount the samba share then you must specify the following options
mount -t cifs {mount-point} -o username=name,pass=pass,directio
The directio option is used to not do inode data caching on files opened on this mount. This precludes mmaping files on this mount. In some cases with fast networks and little or no caching benefits on the client (e.g. when the application is doing large sequential reads bigger than page size without rereading the same data) this can provide better performance than the default behavior which caches reads (readahead) and writes (writebehind) through the local Linux client pagecache if oplock (caching token) is granted and held. Note that direct allows write operations larger than page size to be sent to the server.
If you get the following error when trying to mount the {mount-point}
Apr 22 16:57:39 bailey kernel: Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE Apr 22 16:57:39 bailey kernel: CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13 Apr 22 16:57:39 bailey kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13The you need to create the Samba user specified on the mount command
smbpasswd -a usernameFYI - Make sure you umount all the Samba {mount-point(s)} before shutting down Samba.
Found a nice subversion plugin for finder on the MAC.
The goal of the SCPlugin project is to integrate Subversion into the Mac OS X Finder.

- Support for Subversion.
- Access to commonly used source control operations via contextual menu [screenshot]
- Dynamic icon badging for files under version control. Shows the status of your files visually. [ screenshot ]

When using Recital Web you can maintain the exact state of each work area between pages like this.
On exit of an .rsp page.
On entry to an .rsp page.
On exit of an .rsp page.
SAVE DATASESSION TO m_state
_SESSION["state"] = m_state
On entry to an .rsp page.
IF type( _session["state"] ) != "U"
m_state = _session["state"]
RESTORE DATASESSION FROM m_state
ENDIF
Subclipse is an Eclipse Team Provider plug-in providing support for Subversion within the Eclipse IDE. This plugin is required in order to use the recital eclipse workspace.
In Linux you can run lsof and pipe it though grep for the files you are interested in, for example;
$ lsof | grep db.exe | grep accounts db.exe 16897 john 6uw REG 253,0 20012 3413872 /usr/recital100/qa/accounts.dbf db.exe 16897 john 7u REG 253,0 4176 3413885 /usr/recital100/qa/accounts.dbxIf you want to check for locks you can use lslk, for example;
$ lslk | grep db.exe | grep accounts db.exe 16897 253,0 3413872 20012 w 0 0 0 12319 0 /usr/recital100/qa/accounts.dbfIf you don't have lslk installed you can install it with one of the updaters, for example on redhat linux:
$ yum update lslk
If you want details about how storage devices are performing on Redhat/Centos/Fedora use the vmstat and iostat commands.
After installing Centos 5.3 the iostat command is not available. To install it use yum:
# yum install sysstat
Recital 10 enhances the APPEND FROM command. The enhancement was added to the following syntax ;
APPEND FROM <table-name>Before when appending into a shared Recital table each new row was locked along with the table header, then unlocked after it was inserted. This operation has now been enhanced to lock the table once, complete inserting all the rows from the table and then unlock the table. The performance of this operation has been increased by using this method. All the database and table constraints are still enforced.
Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Mac, Unix/Linux and Windows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other.
Binary distributions for Unison can be found here.
The user manual can be found here.
