Fixed (hardisk) device names?
Hello, does anyone know how to fix the device name on a debian linux system? For example. If i have two IDE hardisks, the devices will be named like this. /dev/hda /dev/hdb If i now must remove the first harddisk (/dev/hda) the second (/dev/hdb) will be renamed to (/dev/hda) after the reboot. As i want /dev/hdb to be a mirror of /dev/hda and used as failover disk _without_ opening the case and tampering with the IDE bus setup, i want linux to keep the name /dev/hdb for the drive no matter what happens. Is this possible? Another question. How can i copy two identical discs _including_ the boot block? "dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb" doesnt do it and there are no raw devices on linux AFAIK. thx, Arnd

I did setup chrooted named daemons but thats somewhat different from setting up a more or less complete system which is own libgcc-base / linker and loads of libs basicly coming from debian-unstable. I mean, this is close to having an unstable dist running chrooted inside of debian stable. Isnt it? regards, Arnd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

version `GLIBC_2.3' not found
Hi, ok, this is somewhat OT but anyway.. I have a binary (payware, no source) i need to run which needs bleeding edge libs which are only available in debian testing. As the prog needs to run on a production system i dont want to upgrade to the testing distribution. The libs in question are: libc.so.6 + libstdc++.so.5 I grabbed those, and some more libs from the unstable distribution, installed (or extracted) them in a separate dir tree but when i (LD_LIB_PATH set correctly) start the prog i only get the following error message: lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_PRIVATE' not found (required by /usr/local/lib/libdl.so.2) And some more similiar messages. Can anyone clue me in on how to get those two forsaken libs cleanly installed on a debian stable system so this damn binary will run? thanx, Arnd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
