Here is what one can do to create a scalable HA multi terabyte
file system.
1 Sun E4500
1 copy of veritas file system
1 copy of volume mgr
lots of A3500's
configure the controllers with raid mgr to do a simple mirror
then use volume mgr to simple stripe the whole thing together achieving
raid 1+0.
Then use veritas file system so that one does not spend LOTS of time
fscking a file system if it crashes.
One can achieve gigabye per second write speeds this way....granted it was
coupled with a e10k..but that is another story.

I have seen success reports with various brands under 2.2.x - except for the
AGFA scanners. It might be a problem with that driver - or it could be my
AHA2940, but I doubt it because that is a _very_ common card.

Subject: Linux pilot-link problem -- Unable to bind to port
Date: Sat, 05 Jun 1999 18:05:36 GMT
Greetings.
Trying to sync with my Pilot in Linux. Installed
pilot-link-0.9.0-8.i386.rpm from my RedHat 6.0 i386 CD. Did a ln
/dev/ttys0 /dev/pilot as instructed.
When I run: pilot-xfer -b /tmp
I get "Unable to bind to port '/dev/pilot'"
Similarly: pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttys0 -b /tmp
gives
"Unable to bind to port '/dev/ttys0'"
Tried doing above as root, no difference. Tried switching to ttyS1, same
deal.
I don't use my serial ports for anything else in Linux so I can't be
certain they work at all. I do get a ttys0 = IRQ4 etc. message when
booting up so I think they are OK. They certainly work in WinDoze. Is
there any Linux utility out there to verify existence and function of
serial ports?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Regards,

Subject: NO DIALTONE but modem works
Date: Sat, 05 Jun 1999 19:14:44 +0100
I bought a modem for friend. It has a nice chunky Rockwell chip in it
and jumpers (remember them ?), and works 100% on 2 Linux machines
at 2 locations. The download rate is 4-5 Kbytes/sec, so it not only
works but is quite impressive and supports V90. Works fine on a Pentium
under Slakware and a Pentium II under RedHat 5.2 at both locations.
Now on my friend's PC (Celeron, AWARD BIOS, RedHat 6.0) I can contact
the modem
as follows:
AT reports OK
ATZ same
AT&F same
AT&V same
when I dial up the modem from outside it reports RING (so the telephone
line
is o.k).
However ATDT123456 reports always NO DIALTONE.
There is *NO* IRQ conflict I can see as other AT commands execute
immediately
(I have disabled the motherboard COM2 and set the jumpers on the modem
to
COM2).
Interestingly the same problem occurs under Windows, so it must be a
BIOS/hardware problem with this PC.
Anybody have any idea ?
Other info: The bad PC used to have a USR Winmodem (shock hooror)
in it - which is why we bought a new one.
The new modem suppports SVD (simultaneous voice and data).
Summary: modem works fine under Linux on PC's A,B but not on C.
Thanks, Nick

Melle,
From the "Linux System Administrator's Survival Guide" ... it makes a
difference which way the authentication is run. If the local machine has to
authenticate itself, then the local hostname is the client and the server
hostname is the server field. However, if your machine sends the callenge, the
process (and fields) are reversed. The remote hostname is the client and your
local hostname is the server. The examples in the book are:
#The local machine authenticates itself
# client server string addresses
merlin.tpci.com big_guy.big_net.com "I hate DOS"
#This reverses the process
# client server string addresses
big_guy.big_net.com merlin.tpci.com "I hate DOS"
Hope this helps.

Subject: Trident Blade 3D support in Xfree86
Date: Sat, 05 Jun 1999 13:50:21 -0500
Hi All,
I recently picked up a new computer with a Trident Blade 3d Card in it.
The chipset on the card says 'Blade 3D' and then 9880 right underneath
that. The card is AGP with 8MB of RAM. Has anyone gotten this card to
work with Xfree86 yet?
I've tried it both in RedHat 6.0 (CheapBytes), and also in OpenLinux
2.2. Neither detects the card correctly, and I haven't found anything in
the driver list that looks close to this card. I'm running whichever
version of XFree86 that comes with those distributions. I believe both
are at version 3.3.3.1, but I could be wrong.
I checked the FAQ's at XFree86.org for any info on this card, but found
none. Any info or pointers to configuration help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Is the friend at a third location? You may have to disable dial tone

UK users.

Similar setup. Mine's a mutant RH5.2 w/ the 2.2.9 kernel. Build your
kernel with IDE tape support, and use /dev/ht0 with yer favorite
tape backup prog. Ftape here is irrelevant.
A very, very, very basic backup script that's worked for me is --
==============================================
#!/bin/sh
mt -f /dev/ht0 rewind
mt -f /dev/ht0 erase
mt -f /dev/ht0 retension
find / -path '/mnt/cdrom' -prune \

-o -path '/proc' -prune \
-o -print | afio -o -c 32768 -f -v -x -z -Z /dev/ht0
mt -f /dev/ht0 rewind
===================
with afio compressing each file individually. YMMV.

Up till a couple of weeks ago I had a CL5428 (VLbus card) working in a
no-name AMD DX2/66 motherboard (redhat 5.1). It worked fine, although I had
to turn off one of the 'performance' options to stop it snowing horribly
when I dragged windows about in X.
Unfortunately I have now upgraded that motherboard to a P150 PCI/ISA so I've
binned that card. In fact I'd really like a PCI video card (cheap). At the
moment I have a crummy Trident ISA thing. (any offers in cambridge,UK?)
I don't suppose this helps you much, due to being insufficiently similar to
be much of a data-point, but it might be useful....

If your using a 2.2.x kernel you can use the framebuffer device. The
*must* be VESA 2.0 compliant in *hardware* for this to work. This will
require a kernel recompile and a different server. The graphics card will
acts as a simple framebuffer so no acceleration is performed. If you need
higher performance you'll either have to write a driver for the card
(hard!) or buy a new card.

Actually Linux does work right out of the box. After you install Linux you
restart the computer and it boots right up. You recompile the kernel so
that you can configure Linux . You compile certain drivers as modules,
compile in certain drivers you want, compile drivers out that you don't
need... It's a pretty straight forward process as long as you can answer
some questions. Heck... I had an eighth grade education the first time I
installed Linux. The most computer experience I had was with my ol' trusty
Apple IIGS.
Now here is a little project for you: Take two old computers exactly the
same, say they are a EISA bus. On one of the computers you have Linux and
on the other you have Windows. In these two computers you have a EISA SCSI
card, a SCSI II hard drive, a SCSI II CD-ROM drive, and a EISA video card.
Now what you want to do is take the hard drives that have the OS's
installed out and put them in two exactly the same Pentium boxes *without*
having to reinstall the OS. You also want to transfer the CD-Rom drives to
the new computers. In these Pentium computers you have a PCI SCSI card and
a PCI video card (remember all the cards are identical). I guarantee you by
the time you are done clicking here and clicking there, editing here and
editing there, and cussing here and swearing there. I'll have Linux up and
running and have downloaded (just for the heck of it, since I really
wouldn't have to) the latest kernel and compiled it plus all the latest
libraries and updates to all of my favorite programs.

Yes. I spent at least three hours trying to get the cheap 'zoom' zip scsi
card it comes with to the be recognised - to no avail at all. It should be
supported by the aha<something> (I forget) driver, but I couldn't get it to
reconise the card. I gave up and tried some other SCSI cards, but I can't

Hi all,
I've just finished looking at the "Hardware Compatibility
HOWTO" at
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO.html
and I still have a couple of questions. First, does anyone
know if a decent video driver is available for the STB
Velocity 4400? I guess it's a variant of the nVidia Riva
TNT cards. I didn't see one listed, so I was hoping that
there might have been one created/modified/whatever since
March '99 when the document was written.
When I looked at the listing for sound cards, I again didn't
find mine (a Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI 64D), but I'm
guessing that another of the SB drivers might get close
enough... (Does anyone have any experience/comments/caveats
with regard to this?)
I just discovered that my CD-R is supported (yes!), but does
anyone know the status of DVD drives under Linux? It's a
Matshita SR-8583, if it makes any difference... I think I
can use it as just a regular CD drive if nothing else, but
would appreciate some confirmation from anyone who knows.
*Thank you* for any assistance/advice you can give,

Only if you use old releases. IIRC, The 2.2.x kernels and 2.0.36 contain the
new drivers (certainly a year ago, the Adaptec 2940UW that came with my
previous SMP system was flakey, and I replaced it with TekRam 390F's). I've
certainly had no reason to complain with the new drivers (I have a builtin
Adaptec 7896 dual ultra2 scsi controller on my motherboard, and have all 5
disks attached to it on the dual P-III system). For cheap supported
controllers, though you want to look elsewhere (Adaptecs tend to be pricey). I
have several TekRam 390U and 390F controllers which use the NCR53C8XX drivers.
TekRam has a new series (395) that uses a new chipset, and they provide drivers
on their website, but I haven't personally used them.
