Re: raid1 issue, somewhat related to recent debian on big machines
To my dismay, I tried (repeatedly) unsuccessfully to implement the scheme below on old Tyan S2895 with two dual-opteron and two new Maxtor 250GB, before moving to the new machine. With the recent amd installer, I tried to set up (manually) the two partitions on both disks to set up raid1. First, I tried with a 0.2GB partition for boot but I found no way to have lvm for the other partition and where to set the root file system. Then, I tried with a 1GB partition but found no way to have it for both boot and root. In both cases, the installer claimed to have the root file system. What I need to have for the compilations of applications are /home /usr /opt /var /swap. The bad way I used previously, was to start from these partitions and put each on raid. So I finished with so many raid#. thanks francesco On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 9:52 PM, Alex Samad a...@samad.com.au wrote: On Tue, Mar 03, 2009 at 12:26:27PM +0100, Goswin von Brederlow wrote: Francesco Pietra chiendar...@gmail.com writes: [snip] That is a lot of raids.

But if one of the other raids used that disk the head will be way off. I would suggest the following scheme: this is what I would recommend as well sda1 / sdb1 : 100Mb raid1 for /boot (or 1GB for / + /boot) sda2 / sdb2 : rest raid1 with lvm MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

There is somethign that I miss? That sounds like libjpeg62 has an invalid debian/changelog. From the email and date this is the entry that is added to document the conversion. The problem is the timestamp. I'm generating the timestamp with $(date +%a, %e %b %Y %X %z), which should give something like Wed, 11 Mar 2009 10:44:13 +0100. Your locale setting must cause date to inject the PM there. I guess it should have been %T instead of %X. Fixed in svn. As for dch warning: new version (6b-14~11) is less than the current version number (6b-14). that is intentional. The idea behind that is that if a source starts shipping a 32bit flavour on amd64 then its version will always be higher than the converted package.

Regards Jan What do you mean with twice? If you mean the downloading of Packages then you are wrong. apt-get is actualy run tree times. If you mean converting debs then you are also wrong. They are converted as needed while they are unpacked. That means dpkg-deb --control and --fsys-tarfile do both convert but different parts. Note that downloading a package with apt-get does no conversion at all. It just fetches the file and stores it under a new name.

Re: Re: Test
I'm glad the problems with list access have been worked out, and that the code of conduct has been reiterated for anyone who may not have been aware of it. Now that everyone's had their say, can this conversation please end? This could quickly degenerate into a series of shushes to loud people in a movie theater; it expresses displeasure with people who are being inconsiderate, but does nothing to help anyone hear the movie.
