Re: LVM root?
Hi, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ha scritto: What are the advantages to using LVM for root? you can resize it later if you need more space, but I think it's easier to split your system with some separate filesystems than to (for example) put everything in / on a LV and give it more space later. Part. mount size == 1 /boot 32 MB 5 / 200 MB I'd suggest a little more space (and to put /boot into /)... maybe 512 MB is OK LVusr /usr 3 GB LVvar /var 15 GB LVhome /home 10 GB LVtmp /tmp 200 MB Maybe it's better to make a bigger /tmp, say 1 GB, because of some programs (for example, nautilus-cd-burner uses it to create a temporary iso file - OK, you can change it's tmp directory, but by default it uses /tmp)... Can/should one put swap in an LV or is it no better than a swap file then?

Re: sata disk failure?
Hi, Zsolt KOZAK disse: I've just noticed your problem on debian-amd64 list. I've just installed a new Debian system and I've run into this problem also Nforce3 motherboard, SATA discs (2 200G Seagate). I've got a very similar problem - nforce3, SATA disks (2 160GB maxtor) -. Hvae you got any solution? Or do you have still the problem? What about driver developers? I noticed you cc-ed them into your messages. Someone (sorry, I don't remember his name) told me something about some known troubles for nforce3 with disks larger than... mmm around 140 GB (I don't remember the exact value too). Any opinion?

sata disk failure?
Hello everybody,
I'm using an updated sid pure64 and I've got some troubles with my sata
disks, but I'm not sure if the problem is in the hardware (in disks or
maybe in the controller) or in the software... Maybe you can give me a
good suggestion :-)
Sometimes disk I/O stops and I'm just able to go to a tty and see
something like this:
ata2: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0xd0 host_stat 0x21
ata2: status=0xd0 { Busy }
SCSI error : 1 0 0 0 return code = 0x802
EOM ILI Current sda: sense = 70 7e
ASC= 4 ASCQ=a0
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 215674327
ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0x977
ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0x977
ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0x977
My partition table is the following:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 729 5855661 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 730 972 1951897+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 9731689 5759302+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda41690 19929 146512800 85 Linux extended
/dev/sda51690776848829536 8e Linux LVM
/dev/sda67769 1384748829536 8e Linux LVM
/dev/sda7 13848 1992948853633+ 8e Linux LVM
Often it seems that the error begin when I'm reading some data from the
LVM part of the disk: I've got an Ubuntu on sda3 and it never crashed
(but I've never tried to access my LVM partitions from Ubuntu)
Actually I'm using just one of my two sata disks, but if I use the other
disk I've got similar errors on THAT disk, so I don't really think it's
a disk failure (I've also tried badblocks, but the disks look good)...
maybe a controller (nforce3-250) one?
I've read some pages on the Internet pointing to software errors...
The first time I saw that error I was playing with raid (mdadm): I had a
nice RAID-1 between sda and sdb, now I'm not using raid.
So... any suggestion? :-)
Thanks a lot!
Manuele

Re: [Fwd: USB mass storage trouble]
Hi, Christoph Hebeisen wrote: On a related note, as far as I understand, 2.6.9 has a different mass storage driver than 2.6.8. Since cdrecord doesn't talk to device files, how does one make it talk to that one? Devices don't seem to show up on logical SCSI buses like they used to. I cannot try on my amd64, but I've got *a lot* of troubles with usb storage with 2.6.8 and 2.6.9 on a Debian i386... I've downgraded that PC to 2.6.7 and usb storage worked again very well; I will try again with the next subversion of the 2.6.9 linux kernel. Maybe you can try the same on your amd64.

Then I've looked for some infos about the nforce3-250 I've got on the board and I've patched the custom forcedeth module from the 2.6.7 debian kernel source with two patches (forcedeth-bk4.patch and forcedeth_gigabit_try19.txt) I've found in http://www.hailfinger.org/carldani/linux/patches/forcedeth/ and the network adapter is working well now! [I've read somewhere that those patches will be included in the 2.6.8 kernel... is it right?] Sound is working good too, it's using the snd_intel8x0 alsa module. I still have to explore more details from the board, but I think you can write in the compatibility list that it works with debian-amd64 :-) Thanks for your support!
