Im currently using nLoad as my bandwidth monitor as it used to work perfectly on my Ubuntu server, and then I installed Gentoo on the server along with nLoad, but the download or upload whenever it reaches 4GB, it resets back to 0KB...
I have no idea what causes this and searched alot but to no avail.
Thanks! |

That's normal for 32bit kernels. You'r Ubuntu was probably 64bit.
Solution: Reinstall Gentoo as 64bit.

Ah right...
Just curious, since I don't own the server, how can I check if it supports 64Bits because it's a pretty weak server...
Because my home computer is running 32bit however conky is reporting 16 and 24GB... |

Ifconfig wraps at 4,x GB, but Conky has its own counter. The problem with conky is that it does not know how much traffic really went through the interface if you start it, it just sees the <4,x GB counter and then just adds the additional counted traffic to its own counter. But no guarantee on that 
If you want to know something about your cpu:
In the 'flags'-line should be some information if your cpu has 64bit support. I don't know the exact flagh though. Something with '64' I believe. |

"uname -a" should give you the information about the plattform (32 or 64 bit)

Yeah I did "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and turns out it supports 64bit, so I'm reinstalling Gentoo 64Bit ^_^
Thanks Everyone!
It is possible an Intel 2.66Ghz and 1GB RAM can be considered 64Bit? |
