Re: [Cooker] ReiserFS and NFSv3 together in LM 8.0?

2001-03-03 Thread Michael R. Batchelor

 OK, I haven't really been following the cooker/LM8.0 stuff too
well,
 and I couldn't find any reference in the archives about whether
the
 new release is expected to support ReiserFS and NFSv3 (or even v2
for
 that matter) together out of the box or not.

Yup, we have tested the patches on our developement machines (which
use to fail with the default kernel).

 So, will we finally be able to install a Linux server with NIS,
NFS,
 and a journalizing filesystem without having to get too deep into
the
 guts of the OS?

yup that's the goal :)


OK, how about samba, too. My ultimate goal would be to use a single
server which is the NIS domain server and NFS server for the Unix
workstations plus act as the Windows Primary Domain Controller which
serves home directories to the windows clients. Naturally, all on a
ReiserFS. I've managed to get that all working on a L-M 7.0 box, but
it took some time to convince everything to play nice, and it still
has inexplicable crashes once every few weeks. I'm not afraid of it,
but I can't leave it in the hands of an inexperienced system admin.

Thanks,
Michael

[Cooker] ReiserFS and NFSv3 together in LM 8.0?

2001-03-02 Thread Michael R. Batchelor

OK, I haven't really been following the cooker/LM8.0 stuff too well,
and I couldn't find any reference in the archives about whether the
new release is expected to support ReiserFS and NFSv3 (or even v2 for
that matter) together out of the box or not.

Is this a planned/supported configuration? I know I can get it
working if I apply the patches and compile a kernel, but I really
want something I can just hand to someone without a lot of
experience, walk them through a few, and expect them to get it right
with only telephone support.

So, will we finally be able to install a Linux server with NIS, NFS,
and a journalizing filesystem without having to get too deep into the
guts of the OS?

And if this is answered on the mandrakeforum site forgive me.

Thanks,
Michael

PS. How about the qmail patches for Reiser? Any chance of supplying
both qmail and the patch in an rpm we can select? I know the qmail
license is a little stifling, but you could make the user run a
separate program to install the patch.

we don't ship qmail, licensing problems..
