VFREE(9) Memory Management in Linux VFREE(9)NAME
vfree - release memory allocated by vmalloc
SYNOPSIS
void vfree(const void * addr);
ARGUMENTS
addr
memory base address
DESCRIPTION
Free the virtually continuous memory area starting at addr, as obtained from vmalloc, vmalloc_32 or __vmalloc. If addr is NULL, no
operation is performed.
Must not be called in NMI context (strictly speaking, only if we don't have CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, but making the calling
conventions for vfree arch-depenedent would be a really bad idea)
NOTE
assumes that the object at *addr has a size >= sizeof(llist_node)

rebase(1) BSD General Commands Manual rebase(1)NAME
rebase -- Changes base address of dylibs and bundles
SYNOPSIS
rebase [-low_address addr] [-high_address addr] [-arch arch] [-v] file(s)
DESCRIPTION
The base address of an image (dylib or bundle) is the preferred address for it to be loaded. By default all images are built with a base
address of zero. At runtime, if the preferred memory range is already occupied, dyld will "slide" the image to a new address range. There
is a small cost to the slide, as dyld must do some fix ups. The rebase tool takes a list of images and adjust their base address to be non-
overlapping. If no low or high address is specified, the a suitable address range is choosen for the architecture.
The options are as follows:
-low_address addr
Force the base address for the first image to be addr (specified in hex). Each subsequent file gets the next available base address.
-high_address addr
Force the base address for the last image to be such that when that image is loaded it occupies memory up to addr (specified in hex).
Each preceeding file gets the previous available base address.
-arch arch
Only rebase the specified architecture. Other architectures in a universal image are left as is.
-v Verbose. Print information about rebasing done.

Hi everyone, I use Fedora 17.
I used gparted to created a dev/sdb2 partition. I then used vgextend to extend the volume group. The output of vgdisplay shows the condition of my volume group:

Hi,
I have a server booted into sysresccd (mini-linux OS) with 1 40 GB disk attached
I am trying to create a volume group and restore another server into the new one
However, when I try to create a partition for /boot it seems that my VG in LVM is not recognized anymore

Hi Friends,
I have a host(Suse Linux 10.4) which has 2 luns presented from 2 different arrays HP eva and xp. we are planning to migrate hp eva to 3par. When i look for physical volume i see /dev/dm-4, /dev/dm-5, /dev/dm-7and when i look for multipath -ll i see dm-8,dm-9,dm-7. So i can't confirm... (6 Replies)
