I have Installed and do maintain a server which has Adaptec 2410S.
from lspci -v 's output:
01:02.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID (rev 01)
Subsystem: Adaptec AAR-2410SA PCI SATA 4ch (Jaguar II)
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 233
Memory at dc00 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
Expansion ROM at fea0 [disabled] [size=32K]
Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2

I don't like it. It works, anyway. I had never experienced any problem with
it, since I installed, but I like 3ware cards better, since they have utils
with it's driver CD, which is capable to interact with its /dev/twaX
controlling device.
I can see the rebuilding status online, I can start rebuild, build hw raid
online, without shutting the OS down and need to get into the bios.
tw_cli is my best friend in this topic ;-)
But for this adaptec sh17, I cannot found any controlling utility.
Adaptec's site seemed kind of chaos to me, and in case if you want to
download sg. from them U need to register through dozens of forms, and you
can double it, if U don't live in US.
(So, maybe they had driver, but I had have no patience.)
Anyway, It works, with etch's builtin aacraid driver, it shows the volume
name I had set up in its bios, etc:
Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1-5[2409]-mh2)

rsync mirror how?

2005-04-18 Thread PÁSZTOR György
Hi!

I used the following commands to set up a local mirror for myself.

cd $LOCALMIRROR
rsync -avHP --delete rsync://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-amd64/ alioth

It worked for me for a time. I exactly don't know since when, but it doesn't
work.
I need this local mirror on my intranet, because, we have a couple of
opteron servers, and I created some install image for local use, which we
used for initialize our servers, etc. But, our mirror get's older and older
since I can't update our mirror on our intranet.

The output of the script running:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ . mirror.sh
@ERROR: Unknown module 'debian-amd64'
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)

What can I do know to replace this thing?

Thanks for your help!

PASZTOR Gyorgy

I wouldn't say that, there is no spoon^Wfeedback.
Quoting from ubuntu's webpage:
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/relationship/document_view
"Development community

Many Ubuntu developers are also recognized members of the debian community.
They continue to stay active in contributing to debian both in the course of
their work on Ubuntu and directly in debian.

When Ubuntu developers fix bugs that are also present in debian packages --
and since the projects are linked, this happens often -- they send their
bugfixes to the Debian developers responsible for that package in debian and
record the patch URL in the debian bug system. The long term goal of that
work is to ensure that patches made by the full-time Ubuntu team members are
immediately also included in debian packages where the debian maintainer
likes the work."
Other quote from section "Ubuntu and other Debian derivates":
"First, Ubuntu contributes patches directly to Debian as bugs are fixed
during the Ubuntu release process, not just when the release is actually
made. With other debian-style distributions, the source code and patches are
made available in a "big bang" at release time, which makes them difficult
to integrate into the upstream HEAD."

So... It seem's to me, that there is a hard co-work beetween the two
developer group.

I thought a bit, and I found out what is the solution/ problem. The
cvs.fsn.hu machine is a BSD-box. And out amd64-box runs linux kernel version
2.6.9-rc1. So, if I turn off tcp_window_scaling, the whole stuff works now.

Thank you for your attention :-)

cvs problem

2004-09-05 Thread PÁSZTOR György
Hi,

I wanted to check out a repo from a cvs server, but it didn't worked.
I tried this out, and the problem is somehow related to ssh handling.
If I check out sg from a server, where the cvsroot is
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dir than it works.
If I check out sg from another server, where I set CVSRSH=ssh and cvsroot is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dir than it fails after the first two files.
I got the following error messages:
Read from remote host cvs.fsn.hu: Connection reset by peer
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

If I do the same on an i386 arch, than it works. If I do this on the same
amd64 machin, within in i386 arch chroot, than it don't works again :-(

Have sy. same experiences?

PASZTOR Gyorgy

I already find this bug.
The bug is in the vim-common's preinst code...
I assume u use a mirror, which is in late. I also use debian.inode.at. :-(
There the latest vim is: 1:6.3-011+2
On debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org the latest version is: 1:6.3-013+2.

There the shell script is still ugly, but at least it works :-)

Not exactly!
The tested vmlinuz and initrd image are parts of the
kernel-image-2.6.7-5-amd64-k8-smp debian package.
So, I assume (from the package name;) ) that it is an smp kernel too.
