  *all* the same. 3 is a link to /proc/5038/fd/, which does not exist.

you were asked to type
ls -l /dev/fd?
the question mark is part of what you have to type...

another poster explained that /dev/fd/ has nothing to do with floppies.


 If this still fails ensure that the device is enabled in the system's
 bios.  Speaking of that, is the device seen at boot time?

 dmesg | grep ^Floppy or grep ^Floppy /var/log/dmesg should show fd0
 and a size.


 Is it time to try MAKEDEV?

maybe first try ls -l /dev/fd?
and then dmesg


Note that I've had a lot of old floppies that were dead when I tried to 
read them after many years.
For me, 3/3 isn't conclusive. I would try to read at least 10 or 20 
floppies before deciding that it's a drive or driver issue.

Mark, you said that both floppy drives are connected. Could it be that
both are wired to fd0? One drive could be malfunctioning Try with
only one drive connected at a time at the end of the cable and see if

To debug this, I'd do the following:

1. Remove both USB plugs (I assume that these floppies are USB connected)
2. Reboot
3. Plug just one in, then do
  lsusb
and get the end of /var/log/messages
One of these might tell you where the floppy is connected in /dev.  It
might not
be /dev/fd0
4. If it doesn't show up immediately, try putting in a floppy disk and do 3
again.
5. If it doesn't show up again, then it's probably dead.
6. If it does show, perhaps at /dev/sdb1, then create a file .mtoolsrc:
  # USB drive
  drive u: file=/dev/sdb1
Then do
  mdir u:

Of course, it will probably show up at /dev/fdn.

Just my pre-tax 2 cents.

That was in the context of the 'mtools' programs - which do map the
devices to dos-like letters but failed in the same way with a problem
with the underlying device.  But as someone else mentioned, if 2
drives are plugged in, it may be trying the wrong device.

Good thought... but I think I had one of them disconnected before I took
my system down yesterday and connected both. I will note that the 5.25
one's light does seem to stay on, regardless.

I was speaking about it to my manager this morning, and he pulls out a
3.5 USB drive I can borrow, so I'll take my system down, pull the 3.5,
and see what I see.

It *looks* like udev knows about it, since it created /dev/fd0 and the

if I remember correctly, PC floppies require a cable with a twisted bit

drive disk0   if you used a straight through ribbon cable and both 
drives were jumpered for the default, then they would have collided and

its been 10 years since I've hooked one up, so this is from old memories.

the floppy interface was really low level.all parallel signals, like 
select drive, step, direction, head select, serial data, clock, write 
enable, and a status line for home, and index (the hole in the disk that 
said its at sector 0).

the ONLY way to detect a drive is connected was to STEP outwards 100 
times, checking for the 'home' status each time, this takes several 
seconds per drive.   AFAIK, there was no way electrically to tell the 
difference between drive types, unless there's a reliable disk in the 
drive.   so the BIOS's pretty much stopped doing the 
auto-home-and-detect thing early on when floppies became optional 
because it was /so/ slow and added significant time to POST.   and even 
from the very beginning, you have to configure the BIOS for the drive 
types (heck, early hard disks had to be configured in the BIOS too)

[CentOS] Hostname question

2013-04-08 Thread Jason T. Slack-Moehrle
CentOS 6.4, clean install.
Zimbra 8.0.3

I am behind a PfSense box using a virtual IP. So the IP of the box is
192.168.1.27

I entered this in /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4
localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6
localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.1.27 mail mail.meowbox.me meowbox.me

but `hostname -f` says:

$ hostname -f
hostname: Unknown host

Do I need to put the public IP for where this record resolves? Since
PFSense is forwarding traffic from it to the virtual IP?

Quick check: is the hostname showing in /var/log/messages? If not, did you
either reboot the box, or set the hostname manually, or restart the
network? It won't take effect until you do one of those.

Hi Mark,

I did a reboot and not `hostname -f` says: mail.

But I think that will still be wrong in terms of what Zimbra is looking for.

When I did the install I set the hostname to `webserver.localdomain`, so I
see in /var/log/messages:
`Apr  7 12:35:48 webserver kernel: SRAT: PXM 0 - APIC 0 - Node 0`

I think I might need to trick Zimbra bu changing:

192.168.1.27 mail mail.meowbox.me meowbox.me

to

192.168.1.27 mail.meowbox.me mail.meowbox.me meowbox.me

John,

Weird question, but if web and e-mail are going to be on the same box. Do I
need to do mail.hostname.tld or can I just to hostname.tld?

For the MeowBox.me domain.
for DNS A-record: @ is the public IP
A-record mail is the public IP.

Mx record is 0 mail mail.meowbox.me

 To debug this, I'd do the following:

 1. Remove both USB plugs (I assume that these floppies are USB connected)

Wrong assumption. They're on the FD cable to the m/b. I've got some *old*

 Of course, it will probably show up at /dev/fdn.

 Mark, you said that both floppy drives are connected. Could it be that
 both are wired to fd0? One drive could be malfunctioning Try with
 only one drive connected at a time at the end of the cable and see if
 that helps...
 Louis

Separately, on some Ubuntu boards there has been discussion about a 
program called udisks for disk-related issues. It is available for CentOS 
6, not for CentOS 5. Where mount commands have failed, udisks for these 
Ubuntu users has come through.

Ironically, this discussion got me interested in whether or not the floppy 
drive on a home server running CentOS 5 is accessible via CentOS5. It 
isn't; no heartbreak, just a mild annoyance.

You gents nailed it. I brought my machine down again, and set the BIOS

that, I looked... I'm sure the cable was on, but it's really hard to see 
the open side of the case still covers about a third of the board, and 
with all the cables Pulling out my trusty minimag, and moving 
cables... and it was upside down. I don't know how it got on that way, 
certainly I wouldn't have forced it, but flipped it over, and played 
with the BIOS... the 3.5 drive still doesn't work... but the 1.2M 
floppy, as b: *does* work - light goes on only when I try to read it, 
and not otherwise.

Now I don't know if I have a drive cleaner, since I can't believe none 
of the first 10 or so disks I tried to look at was readable.

But I'm over the first hump. Now I'm playing with /dev/fd1 and 
/dev/floppy-fd1 (and why is it trying to read a superblock when I try to 
mount it, when I've said -t msdos? Oh, well, onward in the fight.)
