Re: ipop3d not moving mail from /var/spool/mail to mbox

2002-02-17 Thread Jarno Elonen

 No concrete solution to the problem, but did you notice that the default
 location for the mailboxes has changed from /var/spool/mail to /var/mail?

Huh? At least exim's fresh configuration file still says:

  file = /var/spool/mail/${local_part}

 Try stracing the ipop3d process and look what exactly it's doing...

Unfortunately ipop3d is an inetd service. Inetd, once you run it, just forks 
and exits leaving you no chance to strace the actual services. :(

Linux Virtual Server question(s)

2002-02-17 Thread Keith Elder

Greetings,

I am in need of adding more servers for redundancy sake as well
performance.  I have beeen looking at using the Linux Virtual Server
project for load balancing and redundacy of accounts.  I thought I would
see if anyone on the list is using LVS, has any thoughts or would like
to recommend something better.  

The main things I am looking for are:

* easy to add new nodes
* easy to manage user accounts
* new nodes being added don't have to be hardware specific
* load balancing and some fault tolerance

I look forward to hearing what the list recommends.  If you are
currently using LVS, I would be very interested as to how you went about
setting things up.

Thank you,

Keith

Re: firewire storage solution recommended

2002-02-17 Thread Patrick Hsieh

Hello Thomas R. Shemanske [EMAIL PROTECTED],

I bought Datafab MD2-FW-USB External 2.5 IDE HDD Enclosure today and
successfully work in my debian notebook.

My question is-- is it possible to use 1394 HUB to connect some 1394
storage device and some Linux servers and make it a 1394-based NAS
environment? Can two Linux servers mount the same 1394 storage device
and access at the same time?

 Apparently the drive is a LaCie drive, and the USB firmware is so messed 
 up, I have never got it working under USB (although I have lots of other 
 USB mass storage devices working just fine).  LaCie apparently has no 
 interest in supporting Linux.
 
 On the other hand, I did get it working under firewire, and that works 
 just fine in the 2.4. series kernels.
 
 See http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/start_install.html for starters.

  Hello list,

  How does currently linux 2.4 kernel support firewire interface?
  
  Any firewire removeable ide disk or interface has been proven workable
  under Linux 2.4?
  
  Any recommendations are highly welcome.

If the question is can two hosts access the same 1394 device at the
same time ?, the answaer is probably yes, as long as everything is
eletrically set up properly, and that drivers/firmwares support that
kind of things.

But if question is can two hosts mount the same 1394 device (in R/W
mode) at the same time ?, the answer is definetly no. At least with
conventional FS (ext2/3, fat, etc.), for various reasons, including
: kernel level read/write cache, which can assume things about what's
on the drive and what's not (yet), no locking, etc.
