Memory test, check, analyze on linux

November 14, 2014, by admin No comments yet

I know there are tones of information about how and what to use to analyze the memory usage on linux.

However I’m publishing some useful ones that can be helpful to start with:

Display amount of free and used memory

free -m

Display swap usage summary

swapon -s

Display user-process resource limits

ulimit -a

List processes sorted by memory usage

ps aux –sort -rss

mount: Cannot allocate memory

November 14, 2014, by admin No comments yet

Trying to mount -a on a linux system with windows share was giving me the following error

mount: Cannot allocate memory

The problem seems to be on Windows system where share is located. Quick and temporary workaround is to restar Lanmanserver service and retry mount -a.

Permanent fix that should help is to edit a registry setting and restart the service as below:

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters /v Size /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f
sc stop LanmanServer
sc start LanmanServer

From my self experiments I discovered below keys that control the Navigation Pane Per User in Open and Save As Dialog boxes on Windows server 2008 and Windows 7.

 

To Disable Navigation Pane:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CIDOpen\Modules\GlobalSettings\Sizer]

"PageSpaceControlSizer"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CIDSave\Modules\GlobalSettings\Sizer]

"PageSpaceControlSizer"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Modules\GlobalSettings\Sizer]

"PageSpaceControlSizer"=hex:d0,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

FLV 404 Error On Windows 2003 Server IIS

August 7, 2012, by admin No comments yet

I was working on a streaming video file for a client this morning using Flash and a linked FLV video file. Everything worked nicely – the Flash media player is so badass – until I uploaded it to the production server. Suddenly, the movie didn't play at all. Nothing I did seemed to work; cleaning the cache didn't do anything; all the paths were right. It wasn't until I tried to access the FLV file directly and got a 404 File Not Found error that I realized something was fishy.

After some Google searching, I came across this Adobe Tech Note that says that:

When Flash Player movie files that stream external FLV files (Flash videos) are placed on a Microsoft Windows 2003 server and then viewed in a browser, the SWF file plays correctly, but the FLV video does not stream. These files work correctly if tested on other operating systems. The issue affects all FLV files played via Windows 2003 server, including files made with the Flash Video Kit for Dreamweaver MX 2004.

 

The good news is that there is any easy solution:
