can't mount raid 5 after installation

2005-10-17 Thread kohzak
Hi all

I'm installing a debian server with 4 sata drive on A8V motherboard.

My system is on a 40 go ide hard disk and i've created a raid 5 during
installation for my /home with the 4 sata drive.

After reboot, i got this :

# mount /dev/md0
mount: /dev/md0: can't read superblock


I have the same error (bad superblock) with reiserfs or ext3 fs on /home.
So does any one know why can't i mount my /home and why do i have that
kind of error ?
I don't know how where to check for that superblock problem.

Thanks.


Ps : i have installed raidtools2 and raidutils

How about 'cat /proc/mdstat'?

 Ps : i have installed raidtools2 and raidutils

raidtools2 as well as mdadm? Probably bad to mix them.

raidtools2 is gone in unstable. Use mdadm.

So it looks like your RAID group is not active. Did you tell mdadm to
activate it on startup? (It asks you the question when you install the
package). You can reconfigure it with 'dpkg-reconfigure mdadm'.

You should be able to activate it manually with some combination of
mdadm --assemble --scan; I can never remember the parameters for that
tool though.

no, the partition type must be fd, not the filesystem type in the fstab.
you can easily find out with fdisk:

fdisk -l should output something like this:

   Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   1393931639986   fd  Linux raid autodetect

then the kernel will autodetect and assemble the raid on boot.

Not if you use the Debian kernel with initrd. The initrd will make sure
your root group (if any) is started, but you need the mdadm init.d
script to start the rest.

Re: Compiling a kernel module. gcc-3.3 vs. gcc-3.4

2005-10-17 Thread James Hansen
Thanks for everyone's replies on this.  Much appreciated.  I've built 
the module using gcc-3.4 and it's inserted into the kernel happily 
enough.  (by changing the gcc symlink)


When building, it offered up a few warnings about casting ints to 
different sizes to pointers.  Because of this I was expecting it to just 
segfault the kernel, but it seems to insert without incident.  I'll look 
at these errors later, when stuff starts to break :)


I'm now having problems with linking some 32bit apps and I'll post 
another mail/thread.  But thanks for the help so far.


Cheers,

James

As far as I know, the kernel and its modules need to be build with the

/proc/version), then you need to download gcc-3.4 and compile the 
modules with gcc-3.4.  You'll need to either chance the symbolic link 
of /usr/bin/gcc to gcc-3.4 or change your comile options.

Subject: Compiling a kernel module. gcc-3.3 vs. gcc-3.4


I'm having problems building and installing a kernel module for the 
amd64 port of debian.


It seems that debian is shipped with gcc-3.3 as it's compiler, but it 
looks like the amd64 kernel is built with gcc-3.4


(from a syslog message I'm getting when I modprobe a driver)

Oct 14 16:54:39 localhost kernel: mydriver: version magic 
'2.6.8-11-amd64-generic gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.8-11-amd64-generic 
gcc-3.4'


Is this actually the case, and if so is this going to continue when 
this becomes an official debian distribution?


Oh, and also what can I do about this?  Do I have to fetch gcc-3.4 to 
build kernel modules?  (Or rebuild my kernel with gcc-3.3)


Thanks people.

Reinstall the kernel-image so the initrd gets rebuild and includes the

Was that supposed to be 'locale is not installed'?

If so, apt-get install locale.

locale is requires for supporting multiple languages.  I have no idea if
the system can run without it and still display messages from programs
that support multiple languages through locale.

No, it's for the old raidtools, not for mdadm.

Your /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf should look like this

 I have the same error (bad superblock) with reiserfs or ext3 fs on /home.
 So does any one know why can't i mount my /home and why do i have that
 kind of error ?
 I don't know how where to check for that superblock problem.

Is the raid even started?  (/proc/mdstat should tell you).

 Ps : i have installed raidtools2 and raidutils

Install mdadm instead.  It is much better and easier to use.  Although
given your mdadm.conf above, you probably don't even need raidtools* at
all.

Certainly above I see 'md0 stopped' and then it loads sata drivers.
Does it ever start md0?  Maybe you are starting mdadm before you load
the sata drivers.  List the sata drivers in /etc/modules, or have them
included in the initrd by listing them in /etc/mkinitrd/modules.

OK that's good.. although if you have udev and hotplug installed, that
should load sata_via / sata_promise for you well before the mdadm
startup runs.

udev runs as /etc/rcS.d/S04udev, while mdadm is S25mdadm-raid...

upgrading libc6

2005-10-17 Thread trango
Hi everybody,

During my last upgrade  libc6 package was supposed to bee upgraded but
it didn't as an error saying it didn't find /usr/bin/ldd showed.
Digging a bit I saw that it is actually libc6 (and ia32-libs) who
provides /usr/bin/ldd so I can't figure out how to solve this. I made
a crappy ln -s from /usr/bin/lddlibc4 to /usr/bin/ldd but it didn't
work either, and also I tried commenting the ia32 libs in the
/etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig afterwards.

Any ideas

Thanks in advance

 Hi,
 
 I recently bought an HP nx6125 laptop and have successfully installed 
 Debian-amd64 on it. I have been monitoring this list for the past month or 
 so, before I bought the laptop, and after further extensive googling I still 
 cannot find the solution.
 
 I first installed Debian 32 bit on this machine and was able to get wireless 
 working flawlessly using ndiswrapper and the WinXP Broadcom drivers supplied 
 with the machine. Due to the double clock speed problem and enthusiasm for 
 the amd64 port, I decided to try out the 64 bit version of Debian. 
 Installation was a breeze, and I am now trying to get wireless working under 
 amd64 (using ndiswrapper and the 64 bit drivers). 
 
 I have tried the generic Broadcom drivers from linuxant and although 
 they install with ndiswrapper -i, doing an ndiswrapper -l gives:
 netbc564  driver present
 but no hardware present. iwconfig does not show any wlan0 device :-( 
 
 So, I tried the acer drivers for the Broadcom 4318 chipset. Now ndiswrapper 
 -l  
 gives:
 Installed ndis drivers:
 bcmwl5  invalid driver!   

Are you sure you downloaded 64-bit drivers? Try downloading again, using

I meant, if your root disk is ide but your /home raid is sata, I would
think perhaps your sata drivers are only being loaded when
discover/hotplug/whatever gets around to checking which devices needs
drivers loaded, which is most likely way after mdadm runs and tries to
start the raid.

 Do i have to add md in /etc/modules and /etc/mkinitrd/modules or just 
 /etc/modules ?
 
 Thanks all for your help since this morning :)

I would make sure the sata drivers are added to /etc/modules.  That way
to load early in the boot sequence, which is hopefulyl early enough for
mdadm to be happy.

modutils/module-init-tools runs at S20 (in rcS) whicle mdadm runs at
S25.  discover on the other hand runs at S36 which is to late for mdadm
since it can't start the raid if the drives don't yet exist.  That
problably explains the md0 stopped message showing up just before the
sata drives show up.

RE: can't mount raid 5 after installation

2005-10-17 Thread Mark Coetser
you shouldn’t have to load any modules as long as they are configured as
modules, all you need to do is create a /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf

with the following (changed to your devices)

DEVICE /dev/hd[bcd]1

ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=3ab15009:10842ae2:c17e96db:d9376d90

And then modify /etc/default/mdadm and set AUTOSTART=true and hopefully if
you have modified /etc/fstab to mount it correctly your system should mount
home on start

Re: dynamic mounts and chroot jail woes (long)...

2005-10-17 Thread Stephen Gran
This one time, at band camp, Giacomo Mulas said:
 Question (request for help?): it would be extremely useful if bind-mounted
 directories could keep track of filesystems subsequently mounted, and
 keep things in sync automatically. Perhaps not as the default behaviour, 
 but at least as an option. In this way, if I bind-mount /media to something
 in a chroot jail, I will automatically be able to access subsequently 
 mounted filesystems under it from within the jail. Where would this need to
 be supported? In libc? In the kernel? Both? Would it be 
 better/cleaner/simpler to have an user space daemon (i.e. something like 
 famd) monitor some directories and automatically bind-mount and unmount 
 their contents as needed? I am willing to invest a little time on this 
 thing, but I am no kernel hacker and never messed with the libc, although I 
 am a decent programmer, therefore I would definitely need help.

I think you are going about it wrong, or looking at it backwards, or
something.  It may be helpful to note that filesystems are mounted
_over_ an existing mount point, not under.  So, if you have two
directories:
/media/pendrive
/ia32/media/pendrive

and you bind mount /media/pendrive onto /ia32/media/pendrive, you get
exactly what is in /media/pendrive *right now*.  When you later mount
the actual pendrive _over top_ of /media/pendrive, it does nothing to
what's underneath of it, and so the bind mount is unaffected.

So, all that being said, your solution is actually not a bad one, and
seems to work.  If you want an easier to maintain setup, the only thing
I can think off the top of my head would be 
a) hard linking the directory one level up (e.g., /media), this will of
course only work if they are on the same file system.
b) an automounter arrangement that mounted the removable/network media in
both places.  This seems slightly more difficult, but doesn't on the
face of it, seem impossible.

You don't hardlink directories.

 b) an automounter arrangement that mounted the removable/network media in
 both places.  This seems slightly more difficult, but doesn't on the

Hmm.  Auto bind mount on mount?

The symlink looks cleaner with the original mount in the chroot
location.

 Is there no way to get any vncserver (tight, vnc3, vnc4) to run on amd64?
 

I have patched the vnc4server sources (4.0-7) to use the
Woody XFree86 4.3 sources instead of the old vanilla XFree86 4.2.
Works pretty well. See http://bugs.debian.org/334135

Maybe I could upload my version to a public accessable

It is VERY dangerous to mess with, and I believe not supported by most

mkdir -p a/b/c
mkdir d
ln -d d a/b/c/d

I sure hope something makes sure that can't happen.  The OS on the

Re: Wireless on HP NX6125 (64 bit)

2005-10-17 Thread Richard Mace
Hi Ken,

Thanks for the reply. Bas van Besouw emailed me that he'd had success with 
linuxant's driverloader. I have since installed driverloader and used it to 
load the 64 bit Acer drivers linked to your page. I've had moderate success 
in that driverloader accepts the INF and SYS files and brings up an eth1 
interface. I can run iwconfig to query it and I can also do an 

iwlist eth1 scan

which correctly finds my AP. I set my essid, set mode Managed and then issue a

dhclient eth1

which sends out a whole bunch of DHCPDISCOVERs, but no offers are received. 
Much the same happens when I use the other 64bit acer drivers I downloaded 
80211g.zip. Under Windows XP I can successfully connect to my AP with the 
same machine. The same goes for ndiswrapper and the 32 bit drivers shipped 
with the machine under Debian i386--work flawlessly.

I have tried fixing the channel number with iwconfig, setting up the correct 
interface in /etc/network/interfaces (and bringing up eth1 with ifup eth1), 
turning off MAC filtering on my AP and still I cannot connect (get an IP). (I 
am not using encryption.) I also re-tried ndiswrapper with the acer drivers 
linked from your page and they fail to load.

Any other suggestions would be most welcome. My interfaces stanza goes like 
this
# wireless lan home
iface eth1 inet dhcp
  wireless-mode Managed
  wireless-essid default   # default is my essid name at home

Thanks.

  they install with ndiswrapper -i, doing an ndiswrapper -l gives:
  netbc564driver present
  but no hardware present. iwconfig does not show any wlan0 device :-(
 
  So, I tried the acer drivers for the Broadcom 4318 chipset. Now
  ndiswrapper -l gives:
  Installed ndis drivers:
  bcmwl5  invalid driver!

 Are you sure you downloaded 64-bit drivers? Try downloading again, using

cdrdao maintainer and status (bug 249642)

2005-10-17 Thread Frank Siegert
I always found it strange that cdrdao (which is required by e.g. k3b) is not 
in the official AMD64 archive. Now I found this bugreport[1], already 
attached is a fix, which has been tested by quite a few people. And still the 
maintainer Andrew Suffield refuses to accept this patch in quite a strange 
attitude.

I read a lot[2,3] of people complaining about the behaviour of asuffield, but 
did neither know nor care anything about it. But now I see it myself.
Given such circumstances (these kinds of helpful responses), I can 
understand that the AMD64 team was a bit unhappy with the non-official status 
of the port before testing became etch.

But what about now, to what extent is AMD64 official enough, to change this 
kind of behaviour? I guess further requests in the bug report are useless.

Thanks for your work and patience (especially Goswin),
Frank

SELinux and feneral protection rip on kernel 2.6.13.1

2005-10-17 Thread Marcin Dębicki
I have a problem with 2.6.13.1 kernel with SELinux enabled. While I'm using
kernel with SELinux disabled (selinux=0) tverything works fine. Changing
only this one kernel parameter to 1 makes machine impossible to boot (only
general protection rip message repeating on a screen).
I don't know where it fails but I think it is while /dev is being populated
(using udev if it means something) or a few steps earlier while mounting
root fs or changing root.
I'll be thankful if anyone can help

Virus scanners on Linux are largely worthless right now since 99% of the
definitions they use are for Windows viruses. But don't fool yourself into
thinking that Linux is impregnable. The kernel has had it's share of local
root exploits and most network daemons have had some kind of remote exploit
in their lives.

A virus may not be able to infect /bin/ls as your regular user, but it sure
could delete all of your personal data and mail itself to your friends. And 
most people care more about their own data than their OS, I can install
Debian sid in a very small amount of time but replacing all of my data
would be virtually impossible since I don't back things up like I should =)

I'm not recommending that you install a virus scanner, I'm just saying that
you shouldn't be any more lax in your security procedures since you're
running Linux.

Jim.

Don't get lazy just because you're running *nix.

If your unprileged user account got infected, it could still wipe out or corrupt

date, infected machines displayed a party advertisement as part of the
xlogin screen.

The machine may have had the root password hard-coded into the virus, since the
root password to the public workstations is available to all students.
 On the other
hand, the virus would have been able to infect non-public workstations
if it aliased
logout (and modified configuration files to use a fake xlogout) to
display a fake login
screen and then used su (and some kerberos commands) to emulate the behavior
of a regular login.

I don't recall if the virus ran on Solaris, IRIX, and Linux Athena
stations, or a subset
thereof.  In any case, it was certainly possible that the virus was
cross-*nix and
did not require root access to spread.  I believe the majority of the logic was
implemented as tcsh scripts, with modified xlogin binaries dragged
along for the ride.

 mmh..just a stupid question..do i need a virus scanner? r there virus
 for linux? i thought that was impossible to be infected coze how can a
 virus install itself if i use my os not as root?
 I'm just a newbie so i don't know so much about security on debian and
 GNU/Linux systems

Re: Wireless on HP NX6125 (64bit) fixed

2005-10-17 Thread Richard Mace
Dear Bas,

Again thanks for the help with driverloader. I am very happy that I now have 
wireless working wih amd64.

I am currently running kernel 2.6.12 (amd64). It is a stock kernel. I am not 
running acpi/acpid, so some acpi kernel modules aren't loaded (reason: 
loading themal slows the machine down to snails pace due to passive 
(frequency scaling) being set for a temp of 16 deg C! I don't know the safe 
running temps of the Turion ML-37, and wireless seemed more pressing, so I 
haven't properly set up the thermal trip points--do you have any ideas?).

Regards
Richard

  I summary: The 64bit wireless drivers on Ken Bloom's web page work with
  linuxant's driverloader on the HP nx6125 notebook.
 
  Now I just need to figure out how to fix the double clock speed problem
  (passing no_timer_check = 0 stops my fans...!)
 
  Many thanks

Re: running vncserver?

PS: Sarge, of course. Sorry.

 Works pretty well. See http://bugs.debian.org/334135
 
 Maybe I could upload my version to a public accessable
 machine? It is about 60MByte, so EMail doesn't work for
 me.
