Automated Installation of Linux Systems Using YaST Dirk Hohndel and Fabian Herschel – SuSE Rhein/Main AG ABSTRACT The paper describes how to allow a customized automated installation of Linux. This is possible via CDRom, network or tape, using a special boot disk that describes the system that should be set up and either standard SuSE Linux CDs, customized install CDs, an appropriately configured installation server, or a tape backup of an existing machine. A control file on the boot disk and additional (optional) control files on the install medium specify which settings should be used and which packages should be installed. This includes settings like language, key table, network setup, hard disk partitioning, packages to install, etc. After giving a quick overview of the syntax and capabilities of this installation method, considerations about how to plan the automated installation at larger sites are presented.

  • Buffered FUSE: Optimising the Android IO Stack for User-Level Filesystem
    Int. J. Embedded Systems, Vol. 6, Nos. 2/3, 2014 95 Buffered FUSE: optimising the Android IO stack for user-level filesystem Sooman Jeong and Youjip Won* Hanyang University, #507-2, Annex of Engineering Center, 17 Haengdang-dong, Sungdong-gu, Seoul, 133-791, South Korea E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract: In this work, we optimise the Android IO stack for user-level filesystem. Android imposes user-level filesystem over native filesystem partition to provide flexibility in managing the internal storage space and to maintain host compatibility. The overhead of user-level filesystem is prohibitively large and the native storage bandwidth is significantly under-utilised. We overhauled the FUSE layer in the Android platform and propose buffered FUSE (bFUSE) to address the overhead of user-level filesystem. The key technical ingredients of buffered FUSE are: 1) extended FUSE IO size; 2) internal user-level write buffer; 3) independent management thread which performs time-driven FUSE buffer synchronisation. With buffered FUSE, we examined the performances of five different filesystems and three disk scheduling algorithms in a combinatorial manner. With bFUSE on XFS filesystem using the deadline scheduling, we achieved the IO performance improvements of 470% and 419% in Android ICS and JB, respectively, over the existing smartphone device. Keywords: Android; storage; user-level filesystem; FUSE; write buffer; embedded systems. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Jeong, S. and Won, Y.
