And if you have a need to do this kind of thing very often, it
is worth installing the "rename" perl script somewhere in your
$PATH, so that you can simply:
rename 's/\.bak$//' *.bak

I think so, yes. There's only one way to really find out... hehe. Anyway,
this is relatively new hardware which should support this option.

Subject: RAID-1 help
Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2000 10:53:08 +0200
Hi folks!
I have trouble configuring a RAID-1 device. I'm using SuSE Linux 6.3
Linux LIHB-198 2.2.13 #1 Mon Nov 8 15:51:29 CET 1999 i586 unknown
My /etc/raidtab looks as follows:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 4
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/hda3
raid-disk 0
device /dev/hdc1
raid-disk 1
The partition tables of hda and hdc looks like this:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 131 65992+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 * 132 197 33264 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 198 604 205128 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 605 2484 947520 83 Linux
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 1 407 205096+ 83 Linux
If I issue a mkraid, the following happens:
LIHB-198:~ # mkraid /dev/md0
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/hda3, 205128kB, raid superblock at 205056kB
disk 1: /dev/hdc1, 205096kB, raid superblock at 204992kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
The /var/log/messages and /var/log/warn files do not contain
any messages related to the mkraid command, and cat /proc/mdstat
does not help me:
LIHB-198:~ # cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [1 linear] [2 raid0] [3 raid1] [4 raid5]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
Can anybody help me with this problem? I read the HOWTO and it
doesn't help me. I don't know where to find additional documentation.
Best regards, maddel!

Hi there,
I have a process running on one of my servers that has obviously gone
mad, so I wanted to kill it. But even kill -9 doesn't make it go away
and it continues eating cpu time. Is there an alternative (low level)
way of killing processes or do I have to reboot the server?
Thanks in advance for helping.
Christian

AFAIK, this is done with TCP, to guarantee delivery.

You have to do a search for them.

The powers-at-be would have a fit if I suggested the above. :) I'd most
certainly replace the Excahnge server or at least turn on SMTP and or IMAP
if I could.

Sounds like they will do well if they do. I'm AMAZED at how havily my
company uses the "contacts/calendaring/scheduling functions of Outlook". I
am used to ical and a posty note or too which have always served my well.

They won't go for this. ALL mail must go through one server. "Policy". I
can't blame them--it works and they make money. Thanks for the
information.
Sincerely,
Adam

I found a little perl script that I hacked to offer a games account
for my friends and family. I made it the shell for the games account.
As far as I've been able to tell you can't get a real shell from it.
If you e-mail me (fixing the address of course) I'll send it off to
you.

No problem. Install pop3 and imap on the linux server and stay away
from exchange. Connecting it directly to Internet is bad anyway.
Exchange does no check on recipient before it accepts the e-mail. So
it is very easy to crash a server with only non-existing recipients.
And if you follow MS's advise to have separate incoming and outgoing
servers you will have both of them crashed.
