Subject: How to get true 100mb from a ZIP disk?
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 21:40:35 +0000
Hello,
I read somewhere how to make the full 100mb of a ZIP disk available in
Linux (normally 95mb is the max), but I lost the reference. I
rechecked DejaNews to see if I could find it, but to no avail. I
thought I knew what to do:
- Since the disk comes with 4 partitions, use fdisk or cfdisk to delete
the partitions and create a single partition as Linux native.
- cfdisk says to reboot Linux after writing the partition table, so I
did; I don't understand why; this is just a removable disk.
Incidently, I tried fdisk also; same result.
- Use mke2fs to format the disk for Linux.
After doing this, even less space is available on the disk; now only
90mb is available. What is going on here? Can anyone help?
Here is my mke2fs output, and output from df after mounting:
[root@orion3 /root]# mke2fs /dev/sdb1
mke2fs 1.12, 9-Jul-98 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
Linux ext2 filesystem format
Filesystem label=
24576 inodes, 98303 blocks
4915 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=1
Block size=1024 (log=0)
Fragment size=1024 (log=0)
12 block groups
8192 blocks per group, 8192 fragments per group
2048 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:

65537, 73729, 81921, 90113
Writing inode tables: done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
...
/dev/sdb1 95182 13 90254 0% /mnt/zip
[root@orion3 /root]#
It seems a shame to have a device that is capable of providing 100mb
and only get 95mb - or worse 90mb now!
There has got to be something I am not aware of.

Hello,
I am installing Linux on a system with an ATI Rage 128. I can't get the
XServer running (not even with the standard VGA16 server, neither with the
SVGA server). I have S.u.S.E. version 6.0, does it contain an appropriate
server I haven't discovered yet, or do you know where I can get one?

Have a look here :

This is an experimental driver, but works OK on my EISA ncr710.
The machine is a Compaq Prosignia (old EISA iron ;)
Ask the maintainer for some redhat 6 bootfloppies :)
I can make them too if you want, but will need to install redhat 6
first.
redhat 5.2 is still my favorite. (on the other hand i have a spare
partition available)

Thanks for the info Bruce! Strangely enough, however,
after changing the BIOS COM settings to auto, minicom
connected to the modem immediately. I dialled out to my
isp and connected also (and that's a first!) - unfortunately,
the isp thought I was an ethernet and disconnected after
45 seconds, but it's a start!
If I can't get the chat and pppd files working within the next

Thanks again for the advise!

Reply-To: Elvis Chen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
greetings,
I'm trying to get my Panasonic 7502 SCSI 4x writer to work with CXDRoast
0.96e. My system is RH6, dual Pentium 400, and TekRam (sym8xx). I can
copy the data CD with no problem.
However, I can not get it to read audio track correctly. Under
Setup->CD-Reader->Audio-Read-Mode, I have tried all selections (SCSI3/MMC,
Philips, New Philips, Yamaha, Toshiba, Sony, Richo, and Teac) but none of
them reads audio correctly. I got a file full of "0" instead. When I get
it to "Autodetect", XCDRoast will report "Unsupported Device" instead.
Can anyone tell me if Panasonic SCSI CDR7502 will work with XCDRoast in
audio mode? If so, how do I set it up?
thanx in advance,
Elvis

The simplest manner to solve this problem (given that you already have
DHCP running with one of the cards) is to similarly force the other one to
also obtain it's address via dhcp by setting up a local server (on the
internal, non-routable side of the network) What will happen is that when
the machines boots the card on the out side (let's saw for sake of
argument it is on the 24.x.x.x network and the internal one is on the
192.168.x.x network) will obtain it's IP by sending out a broadcast
request to the 24.x.x.x network and will recieve a corresponding response
and assignment. Similarly the card on the 192.168.x.x network also
broadcasts (but does so on it's own ether which is the trick) and recieves
the appropriate assignment of an address on the 192.168.x.x network.
The nice thing about this setup is that you can set your dhcpd so that it
assigned "static" IPs to machines that it knows. For example my server
assigns address 1-10 based on the NIC address of the cards in my machines,
but assigneds dynamic ones to those cards that it does not know (e.g.
friends or collegaues who bring their laptops by)
The draw back of this setup is that it requires a "server" on your local
network (which is not uncommon when your network topology includes a
firewall) which is capable of running the appropriate services (i.e. a
Win9x will not fit the bill)
For more information refer to the dhcpd documentation as it contains a
number of examples setting up various topologies.

You can get it working with VESA Framebuffer support in the 2.2.x kernels,
and the FBDev X server. Requires loading the SiS VESA 2.0 extensions TSR
from DOS and then jumping into Linux using loadlin. Search this group
via Dejanews for a previous post I made detailing how to do this.

Use Dejanews to search this group for numerous other posts regarding the
Rage 128. Only way to make it work is to use VESA Framebuffer support
in a 2.2.x kernel and the Framebuffer X server.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
What you are running into is the overhead that is required by the extended
file system (ver2) In addition to the basic tracking information the
format must also allocate a given density of inodes (think of an
inode as a pointer to a disk location) along with additional entries for
recovery information and a reserved chunk of space for the root user
(although the ids of users who can benefit from this space can be changed)
To changed the basic parameters of a formated disk consult "tune2fs" as
this will allow you to modify a number of things (included reserved blocks
and their owners) To vary the inode density consult "mke2fs" and choose a
density which is appropriate for your needs.
In general though the 90meg format really does give the best mix of
parameters when you consider reliability, recoverability, maintainability,
etc...
If you really do need an extra 10megs it would probably be wiser to
consider a larger means of mass storage (one of the new zip 250's or a
superdisk in one of its variants, or CD,CDR,CDRW, or tape)
For more information consult the man pages related to the extended file
system-2 (section 8).

Just picked up a ATAPI Mitsumi for $140 and it works great (for data anyway).
If you have a SCSI card already you might as well use it though. If you go
with ATAPI the kernal build is easy enough.
As usual, the CD-write-HOWTO has every bit of info you need. I highly suggest
reading it before you take the next step.
Good luck,
Daniel

Subject: Motherboard with SIS5513 IDE Chipset
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 00:38:10 GMT
HI,
I have been trying to get Linux 5.2 and 6.0 installed on my k6-300 with a
motherboard (don't know the make) that has a sis5513 IDE controller onboard.
I keep getting idle task cannot sleep. It causes a gpf and the system locks
after a while. I have only an ATI Expression+ 2meg video, a Dlink520T
ethernet card and a samsung 1.6 gig drive. Is there a command on the
install startup that will not probe the ide channel? Any and ALL help would
be appreciated! Thanks in advance
