Talk:Zombie process

message: We have tracked down two crashes to being caused by zombies that hold file descriptors to deleted files.  This prevents the i-noes of those deleted files from being reused by the file system.  This effect can be seen, for example, by using the command du to count all disk space used in root partition.  Then compare that number to what is reported by the df command.  In our case, the first use of du showed 99.9GB while the partition was 100GB.  This was preventing additional users from logging in.  It turned out that /tmp had several very large files.  We deleted those.  This caused du to show that only 40GB were being used.  However, df still showed 100%!!!  Upon further investigation, we figured out how to get the files descriptors that are held by a zombie.  We first killed the parent of the zombie, which reaped the zombie, and then used " > " to redirect output to that file descriptor (you can google to find blogs on how to do this).  That freed up the inodes.  After doing this for all fd held by all zombies, du and df matched.  Unfortunately, this issue happened again and we did not catch it in time, and we believe this zombie issue that consumes all space in root partition caused our server to crash.  This is important for people who are new to zombies to understand.  Zombies most definitely are capable of preventing resources, both memory and storage from being available to the system.  It is not just a process ID.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kshalle (talk • contribs) 16:30, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

message: Yes, the Bourbons used Cte. de Provence. A younger brother of Louis XVI was a Cte. de Provence. Wetman 21:59, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment

message: Just because the younger brother of the French king became count in 1246 does not mean it became part of France.  My understanding was that, like other parts of the old Burgundian kingdom, Provence is generally considered to have remained part of the Empire until it fell into the French royal domain in 1481.  Obviously the Counts of Provence, especially the Valois counts after 1382, were more oriented towards France than towards the Empire, but the same is also true of, for instance, the Dukes of Lorraine, who were clearly considered to be part of the Empire.  john k 02:24, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Question 

message: - Dutch 'munt' can mean both coin and mint. In this case 'munt' clearly means mint and should be translated as such.
- 'Kyck' in Kyck over den Dyck refers to the view one has over the dike, not the act of looking itself.
- The name 'Groothoofdspoort' arguably indicates "the gate at the broad end of the quay". In my opinion, head is not the right translation for 'hoofd' as in end of the quay, but I'm not sure of the right way to translate either. I changed the translation to Big Groyne's Gate but on second thought, that's a bit silly.

message: I am interested in adding more details to the page about the relationship between IBS and sleep irregularity. The current body of research establishes a correlative but not causal relationship between the two, specifically linking a higher frequency of sleep disorders, as well as higher rates of sleep disruption, to an IBS diagnosis. Moreover, much of the research hypothesizes the role of stress in this relationship, specifically emphasizing the role of the autonomic nervous system. I found a meta-analysis that found an significantly decreased ANS dysregulation and decreased  GI symptoms following psychotherapeutic intervention  (which raised some questions for me about the current section on psychotherapeutic interventions) https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/16/3447
I would appreciate input on where would be the best place to add this information onto the current page. I also think it is important to stress the psychological factors underlying sleep irregularity and its relationship to IBS.

Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the scientists discovered that sleep apnea patients' mammillary bodies were nearly 20 percent smaller, particularly on the left side.

Talk:Demon dialing

message: I owned a Zoom Demon Dialer and several subsequent devices. While calling into radio shows was a widely noted use, the more utilitarian purpose was accessing customer service phone banks such as airline reservations and performance ticket vendors. The challenge of accessing busy customer service lines existed primarily during an era of telephony before PBXs generally supported incoming call queues, call control/Interactive voice response, call-back, etc., and corporate phone service was via massive bundles of POTS lines rather than T1/ISDN services. (The busy signal problem reemerged in 2020 when millions of people tried to access under-resourced government unemployment services by phone.) Within a few years of demon dialing becoming popular (both for phones and modems), consumer devices began to include a time delay between automated redials to mitigate their effects on the telecom infrastructure. I recall on handset it was at least 10 seconds, whereas in modems the auto-redial delay was generally 30 or 60 seconds (but could be overridden by manually reissuing a dial command.) I recall reading at the time there had been some regulatory intervention/requirement for delays. That reference would be useful for this article if someone can find it.
