If the label you are referring to is the system id, that you can just 
set it back to 0xfd with fdisk. It contains no more information than
"this is a raid-auto partition". The actual raid meta-data is stored 
somewhere at the end of the devices.

It is kind of curious, that the system id should be wiped, and the rest 
of the partition table survive. Are you sure, those labels/ids were set 
to raid-auto before? I believe mdadm doesn't care anyway.

If you remember the chunksize, the order of the drive and the algorithm 
used (left/right-(as)symmetric) you can just create a new raid and cross 
your fingers. If nothing but the meta-information was lost -- that's 
about all it contains.

I don't think there is any chance to recover the apt information unless 
you recover the whole raid.

Did you run the usual hardware checks? smartctl/badblocks on the drives, 
memtest on you memory? gcc doesn't segfault on you? To me this sounds 
more like a hardware failure, than a software bug.

I had the same problem when I started working on alioth last year. 
I think you have to become a member of the 'debian-amd64' group on 
alioth first. Then the upload of the public ssh key should work, at 
least it worked for me that way last year.

To become a member of the 'debian-amd64' group, one of the 
debian-amd64 project administrators has to add you to that group. 

Maybe one of project administrators is reading this and is willing
to help you with that.

Thank you for all your problem reports and your work for the 
amd64 archive in general.

Andreas Jochens

A curious failure...

2005-01-30 Thread Don Hayward
The system is built on a Tyan Tiger S2875 Rev.1.02 with a recent bios
upgrade. The kernel is 2.6.9-1-amd64-k8-smp. I'm using mdadm for raid
management.  Running out of gcc-3.4 with regualer upgrades.
The major data drive was a four disk raid5 (md1).  All Seagate 3160023AS
(SATA), two on the onboard si controller and two on a Promise 2x pci
card, mounted on /var.
The last thing I did to it was install alsa, which worked.  I left it
running seti for a couple of days, and when I tried to work on it
again, it was unresponsive.  No response at the console and no
response to an ssh session.  I turned it off.  When I turned it on,
md1 had failed.  Mdadm reported unknown partition table on all four
drives (both controllers).  fdisk revealed a label of 0x for all 4
drive tables.  No logs are available (they were on /var, of course).
Is there any way to get the partition tables relabeled as
raid-automatic without writing over the rest of the tables -- in hopes
there would be something left that would permit mdadm to build the
raid?
Any ideas or rumors about what might have happened?
Is there a way to reconstruct the apt information that was in /var so
that I don't have to start from scratch?
Thanks.
Don

Sorry, but I cannot say. I had rebuilt the enigmail *.debs on my

Is there any way for me to upload packages to Alioth? I am

I made a mistake and built the latest gcc-3.4 source package so that
the libgcc1 and libstdc++6 binary packages were created. This is wrong
because these binary pacakges are also create by the gcc-4.0 source 
package.

I will fix this by uploading new versions of the gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0
packages soon.

I cannot correct this just now because alioth is down at the moment.

> (BTW, using pure64 for debootstrap did not work either:

The debootstrap from pure64 will not work at all for the gcc-3.4 archive
because it installs the gcc-3.3 versions of the gcc related binary 
packages (e.g. libstdc++5-3.3) while the gcc-3.4 archive needs the 
respective versions from gcc-3.4 or gcc-4.0 (e.g. libstdc++6).

debootstrap failure for "gcc-3.4"

2005-01-30 Thread Harald Dunkel
Hi folks,
If I try to run debootstrap on amd64(gcc-3.4), then it stumbles
over the gcc4 libraries (see below).
Any way to get around this?
(BTW, using pure64 for debootstrap did not work either:
E: Couldn't download gcc-4.0-base
)

I tried it; it freezes everytime I scroll through the recording
list. Checking with gdb shows that it has problems with futex()es in
libpthread.

I will now try a pure 32-bit-environment and check wether this works
better...
