Are your partitions that make up /dev/md1 marked as linux raid autodetect (FD)? Is your second raid device present in fstab? Once those two things are verified, post the boot up output related to the second raid array, and maybe we can help more. Also, post the output of /proc/mdstat after the boot. HTH.

Warning: Possible Bug in BIOS DELL Latitude D400_A06 !
Serious Warning - Possible Bug in BIOS update !
A06 will not support any UNIX-/ LINUX-GUI (at least on this machine).
I tried Debian-Linux ('testing'); and tried OpenBSD 3.5 (multi-boot).
Both will inevitably fail with a light yellow screen and an unresponsive keyboard
(no Ctrl-Alt-Del; neither Ctrl-Alt-Backslash). Only hard reset will help.
This also applies to the (possible) XFree86 configuration method:
# cd
# XFree86 -configure [goes through]
# XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86config.new [freezes as above]
XP, however, starts well !
Confirmation: I could - puuhh - flash it back to A03 and it is back at
work without any problems.
DELL must urgently investigate this problem and find out if this is
machine-specific for my machine or a bug effecting everyone.
I can also confirm, that during both flashing operations no error or
warning was given; the checksums considered okay.
So I have to assume that the problem is not based on a download-error.
It *may* be machine-specific, though, since I had earlier filed a problem
with DELL that the flashing operation had not been possible from XP. This
problem had been unresolved despite various on- and off-site efforts by
DELL technicians. (ET20040709_004929)
Any BIOS-Update for this type of machine is discouraged as long as it is
not guaranteed to be a problem of an individual machine. Still, YMMV.

Re: trouble with CUPS
Hi Florian, I had and I still have problems with CUPS - although not more, but simply different problems from the lpr, apsfilter & Co programs I used before. After some weeks into the CUPS domain I still run into mysteries. Some mysteries were there with BSD printing, but now some new appeared and some old disappeared 8-) What I found out is: Very often it makes a difference whether I issue a lp on the command line or try to print it from an application. And it is not file-type-specific! Some PDFs I can _only_ print from the command line, some _only_ from acroread, some _only_ from gv and a couple of them from 2 of the mentioned environments. I do not know what makes the difference, although I learned, that some PDFs from some sources need a special treatment (print on terminal or print from acroread or print from gv). This is, of course, no great help for you, but it should comfort you: you are not alone.

RE: Requesting advice on s/w RAID-1 install
If you lose the first disk the machine's bios wont pick the second disk, so the machine will not be bootable anyway. It will probably stay up provided the disks are on sepearate channels, if they are on the same one there is a good chance when one disk dies it will lock out the ide channel it is on and hence take out the second disk. My advise, go to hardware raid pci plugin card for the OS. regards S -Original Message- From: Jason Bleazard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 28 July 2004 2:45 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Requesting advice on s/w RAID-1 install Sorry for asking this when I know there's a lot of documentation out there already, but I'm getting in to information overload and I'd appreciate any suggestions or opinions on the "best" or "easiest" or "most efficient" or "most reliable" way to do what I want. I write these things in quotes because I'm expecting opinions to vary, which is fine. Short and to the point: the goal is to get software RAID-1 going on a new installation to be used as a home server for files and e-mail. I need to decide how I'm going to go about doing this. Should I install the system first, then get the RAID going? Or would it be easier to do RAID from the start? I want *everything* mirrored (including /boot and the root). The idea is that if the primary drive crashes, I can take it out, smash it with a hammer, re-plug the cable and boot from the mirror drive as if nothing ever happened (yeah, I know the RAID will be degraded until I can replace the smashed drive, this is fine). Also, should I look at LVM or EVMS, or are they overkill? More info: My wife and I had a server (running Sarge) with a 60G and a 40G drive in it that we were using for file storage and e-mail. The drives were getting a bit full, and I had been planning on adding another drive to the mix. However, last week the 60G drive crashed. Our most recent backup is about 5 weeks old (yes, a better backup plan is also definitely on my to-do list... I'll figure that out as soon as the system is working again). My wife used to work in the mainframe world, and her comment was "I told you we should have had a tandem system." D'oh! I tend to agree, so I've scrapped my idea about adding more drives, and now I'm planning on just getting two 200G drives and hooking them up in a RAID-1 array to provide mirroring. The 40 will be coming out once I copy the files off of it. The drives will be parallel ATA, as I'm on a budget and don't need the performance of S-ATA or SCSI. There is a bit of a drawback in that the motherboard I'm using is a bit old. It works and it's free, but the on-board controller won't support any drive larger than 80G. I'm going to get a Promise controller for the new drives. I figure I'll have one drive on each bus of the add-on controller, and leave the CD burner on the motherboard controller. Even though we only have two users (both trusted), I like to have things like /boot, /var, /tmp, /home, /usr and so forth split off in their own partitions. I always figured that if I needed to re-size any partitions, I would use Partition Magic. It works great for me, and downtime is not a huge problem. However, I'm guessing that PM isn't really a good idea on a RAID (anyone know for sure?). For this reason, I've been looking at either LVM on RAID, or just using EVMS for everything. EVMS in particular sounds pretty cool from what I've read, but it might be overkill for me. There's also the question of / and /boot... but I have seen documentation that talks about options for dealing with those on either RAID or EVMS, so I know it can be done. I do have an old 8G drive that I could put in there temporarily if needed. I was thinking about installing to that, then creating a RAID on the 200G drives, then copying everything over to them. I thought it might be easier to set up the RAID on clean drives than it would be if the drives were in use. I've also noticed that the beta debian-installer for Sarge supports RAID and LVM at install time. I've seen lots of bug reports on it though, so I'm a little hesitant to try it. I suppose I don't really have anything to lose if it doesn't work, as I can always switch to a different plan. Also, I'd kind of prefer EVMS to LVM, and I don't see anything about EVMS in the installer. At this point I think EVMS has some nice features that make it look like the better choice, but as long as things work it's not a huge issue. Alternatively, I've read http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/Debian/installers.html and noticed that a number of those support RAID and/or LVM installations. Perhaps someone can recommend a good installer for what I need?

The firewall as set up by "firestarter" logs blocked firewall penetration attempts, but not "legitimate" transactions in and out (perhaps there's a method, which I haven't found, to change that?) Is there any "built-in" facility that will accomplish this, or is it necessary/possible to construct something using "iptables", or is there a contributed app that will do it? Isn't iptables built in? The log will be _enormous_ and I mean __enormous__ I realize that there are log files for the various servers and utilities (FTP, etc.) that contain this information on a piecemeal basis, but it seems to me that it would make more sense to collect it at the connection point(s) in and out of the system, at least on an interface-by-interface basis. Once again, I'm surprised that a Web search and various site searches haven't turned up a solution to this.

I already replied to this with one idea (package not yet available), but here's another: you say that when you do the above, you don't end up with the new version installed.

My /etc/apt/sources.list file contains the following lines (among others): # Security updates for "stable" deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org testing/updates main contrib non-free Is it possible that the other lines farther down in the file could undo what these lines are meant to do?

Huh? The poster said he was tracking *unstable*. What you've said is for installing security updates to stable, *not* for installing the latest version of the relevant packages in unstable. To the original poster: I don't know how often you're running into this, what sort of timeframe you're doing the upgrades on after receiving the messages, etc. But it's possible that the packages in question simply haven't reached your mirror yet. Wait 24 hours and try again. If that isn't it, dunno. If the announcement's been out a day or two, and you've gone to packages.debian.org and looked at what it says is the current version in unstable, and it's of lower version number than the version mentioned in the security update, then something weird's going on at the Debian level. But if it's there, but you're not seeing it when you try to apt-get upgrade, then it's probably something weird about your sources.list or the mirrors mentioned in it. -c P.S. to Greg -- did you know your client is setting a "Reply-To:" directly to your address when you post on the list? -- Chris Metzler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear pgpQGcw5NgbwB.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Problems with lstat() and large files
Hehe, talk about your well composed mail. That's what I get for
sending it off in a rush...
Anyway, I've tested with both glibc 2.2.5 (from woody) and glibc 2.3.2
(from sarge) on the same system, with both kernel 2.2.20 (from woody)
and kernel 2.4.26 (vanilla kernel, self-compiled), and I figure debian
glibc is broken. What happens is that with kernel 2.4.26, when glibc
receives a successful lstat64(), glibc decides that something has gone
wrong, whereas with 2.2.20, lstat64() fails, and lstat() appears to
return the correct values to glibc. Here is a table of what I've
tested:
GLIBC 2.3.2 (from sarge):
strace kernel 2.2.20:
lstat64("largefile", 0xbc34) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
lstat("largefile", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2644920320, ...}) = 0
ltrace kernel 2.2.20:
__lxstat(3, 0xbebe, 0xbd20, 0x4014a550, 0xbd78) = 0
strace kernel 2.4.26:
lstat64("largefile", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2644920320, ...}) = 0
ltrace kernel 2.4.26:
__lxstat(3, 0xbebe, 0xbd20, 0x4014a550, 0xbd78) = -1
GLIBC 2.2.5 (from woody):
strace kernel 2.2.20:
lstat64("largefile", 0xbc34) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
lstat("largefile", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2644920320, ...}) = 0
ltrace kernel 2.2.20:
__lxstat(3, 0xbebe, 0xbd14, 0x4012de48, 0xbd6c) = 0
strace kernel 2.4.26:
lstat64("largefile", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2644920320, ...}) = 0
ltrace kernel 2.4.26:

cloning hdb4 to another machine
Just a tiny bit past total newbie here-- I have Debian testing on one machine set up exactly how I want it on hdb4 (1.5 of 5.5 gb used), swap is hdb5 (512 mb). Entire hard drive is 15 gb. Would like to clone that to another machine hdb3 with 4.5 gb total (was Mandrake). Entire hard drive is 10 gb. Reading the Mondo docs, I think it might be the thing, but sometimes has problems in Debian. Questions: With Mondo, would I have to put on cdr the whole of the original hdb? (Wasn't clear on that) Would rather not have to do the whole 15 gb, just the hdb4. Since the new machine already boots hda1 (Windows), with choices for hdb1 and hdb3, how do I get the hdb4 original to use hdb3? The original machine uses lilo, the target machine already uses grub. I've only used k3b to backup data; but could k3b create cds that would allow making the new clone? Is there another (simple) way to clone from hdb4 to hdb3 on another machine? (and successfully run!) (Yes, I've already been told I shouldn't have put the whole thing in one partition--that's to re-do later.) Thanks -- Wanda
Samba and OSx
Hi all, I have a debian 3.0 box running samba, it has been running for 2 odd years and is fully patched. Win2k, NT4, Win98 clients can talk to it and read and write to the common "share" directory without issue. I have just added an iMac running OSx (which is fully patched etc) It finds the workgroup "Thing" fine and the server apollo, the user connects OK but can only read the share, write is not possible. The same user can log in and read and write fine from a win2k client, so I am stumped a wee bit as my books only cover MS clients... It seems to write zero length files on occasion at least if not each time. So far Im thinking of some possibilities, The user name on the OSx box is "Phoebe Gray" and not phoebe, but log into the share as phoebe works fine (but read only), so user name might need mangling? Something missing on the OSx box like a samba authentication key of some sort? any suggestions please? Otherwise the same share is nfs exported, so I might consider figuring out how to get OSx to do a NFS mount, as that is how the linux clients work, but I want to have a win2k test server as well so Id rather solve the smbclient issue. regards Thing

To create a VCD from an mpeg file, you have to multiplex it properly (mjpegtools), create the cue file (vcdimager), and burn the cue file (cdrdao, modern cdrtools can probably be used as well).

How can I get all IP transactions (in/out) logged?
I just want a basic log file containing the source and destination addresses for all traffic in and out of via PPP, so that I can keep track of what connections to outside IP addresses are made, and from where (externally, or from something running on my system) they originated. I've turned on the debug mode in PPP but it doesn't seem to provide what I want. For instance, it logs transactions from my system to my ISP, but doesn't log what's happening with any greater resolution (for instance, if I ping a system on the Internet, there's no record of the ping attempt in any of the system log files). The firewall as set up by "firestarter" logs blocked firewall penetration attempts, but not "legitimate" transactions in and out (perhaps there's a method, which I haven't found, to change that?) Is there any "built-in" facility that will accomplish this, or is it necessary/possible to construct something using "iptables", or is there a contributed app that will do it? I realize that there are log files for the various servers and utilities (FTP, etc.) that contain this information on a piecemeal basis, but it seems to me that it would make more sense to collect it at the connection point(s) in and out of the system, at least on an interface-by-interface basis. Once again, I'm surprised that a Web search and various site searches haven't turned up a solution to this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

burning a VCD with xcdroast
Sorry, if this is not really a Debian question, but I am getting really frustrated trying to figure this out. I have created an mpg file (MPEG1) and authored it for vcd. After authoring it, a second mpg file was created along with a xml file. Now originally I thought I just had to burn my first mpg file to a disk and pop it in my DVD player (which does support vcd files). However, it complained that the data was incorrect. Someone stated that I needed to probably author the mpg file and another person said that instead of creating a vcd I probably just created a data cd. So my question is this: I am using xcdroast. I think I have correctly authored the mpg file. So now do I just burn the 2 files to a disk or is there some special way I need to burn it? For example, maybe I need to create an iso or I've seen a lot of mention of cue and bin files. I have been spending 2 days nows looking for the correct way to do this on the net, but to no luck.

Problems with lstat() and large files
Hi,
I'm having some problems with lstat() on debian stable and debian
testing with 2.4 kernels. A program that tries to do lstat on a file
bigger than 2gb gets an error. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm
running third party software that requires a functional ltrace(), and
doesn't handle this well.
The lstat() appears to work with on debian stable with a 2.2 kernel,
but I need 2.4 for hardware support etc.
I've tested on debian sarge as well, and I get the same results there.
Is this a known problem? Is there a known fix? The same program worked
fine on redhat 8.
Do I have to go back?
Here is a sample program. Compile like this:
$ gcc -o testlstat testlstat.c
and run like this
$ ./testlstat /path/to/largefile
and watch it fail with ltrace:
$ ltrace ./testlstat /path/to/largefile

cdrecord severly drags system time on woody/2.4.18-bf2.4
I'm investigating what causes the System Time to become inaccurate on some of our servers. In brief, cdrecord seems to cause a rapid slow down of the System Time. It occurs with the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel packaged with woody, but not with a 2.4.22-xfs kernel packaged with (some version of) Knoppix. I wonder if anyone has some helpful suggestions. First off, we can't use ntpd because most of our servers are isolated from the Internet or any timeserver (that would be too easy). By using hwclock(8) and date(1), I've observed that the "Hardware Clock" (as it is known in hwclock(8)) remains relatively accurate (less than a few seconds off each day). The "System Time" (the one generally used and displayed by "date" command) can slow down by 3 minutes per day. This is not "systematic drift," however. Systematic drift of the System Time would be correctable by the straightforward usage of adjtimex(8). After some digging, I realized that the System Time would stay on track until I ran cdrecord. The output of "adjtimex --compare=" can track this conveniently by comparing the clocks every 10 seconds (by default): --- current ----- suggested -- cmos time system-cmos 2nd difftick freq tickfreqn # normal load, decent numbers 1090849223 -0.318473 0.000351 1 01 -2300314 1090849233 -0.318122 0.000351 1 01 -2300314 1090849243 -0.317769 0.000353 1 01 -2313421 1090849253 -0.317417 0.000352 1 01 -2306867 1090849263 -0.317064 0.000353 1 01 -2313421 1090849273 -0.316712 0.000352 1 01 -2306866 # later, during cdrecord, we quick diverge 1090913787 -61.372268 -2.929505 1 012930 -3244032 1090913801 -64.211767 -2.839499 1 012839 3270246 1090913816 -67.431230 -3.219463 1 013219 3034317 1090913830 -70.190732 -2.759502 1 012760 -3263692 1090913844 -73.170142 -2.979410 1 012979 2686975 # after cdrecord finishes, the numbers stabilize 1090914119 -86.640365 0.000357 1 01 -2339635 1090914129 -86.640004 0.000361 1 01 -2365849 1090914139 -86.639646 0.000358 1 01 -2346189 1090914149 -86.639288 0.000358 1 01 -2346189 This says that during cdrecord, the system time (System Time) would diverge from the cmos time (Hardware Clock) at a rate of 2.5-3.5 seconds per 10 seconds (see the 3rd column). That's awful. I have considerred updating my kernel, since this does not occur on a Knoppix-based system that uses 2.4.22-xfs. I have also considerred using "hwclock --hctosys" after cdrecord since the hwclock is still relatively accurate afterwards. Any other ideas or questions?

filename problem
Hi - I have a few files on my system which I'm having issues dealing with. Here is the story: File can't be ls'd: # ls -l ls: egotrippi_-_??l??_koskaan_ikin??.mp3: No such file or directory total 135800 [ The error is generated, but then the file isn't listed with the rest of the output. ] File can't be glob'd: # rm ego* rm: cannot remove `egotrippi_-_?\346l?\346_koskaan_ikin?\346.mp3': No such file or directory File can't be mv'd (here it is quoted): # mv "egotrippi_-_??l??_koskaan_ikin??.mp3" test.mp3 mv: cannot stat `egotrippi_-_?\346l?\346_koskaan_ikin?\346.mp3': No such file or directory Or just escape'd: # rm egotrippi_-_\??l\??_koskaan_ikin\??.mp3 rm: cannot remove `egotrippi_-_?\346l?\346_koskaan_ikin?\346.mp3': No such file or directory I've unmounted the partition and force fsck'd it, it checks clean. For the curious, it is on a mdadm'd (RAID1) JFS partition. I've tried changing my locale to ISO8859-1, ISO8859-15, and UTF-8. I've also tried removing the file via midnight commander, I get the 'cannot stat' error message. If I do an ls -i, the same error pops up and the inode isn't listed with the file. I've tried # file ego* and that can't find the file either. I just moved the system in particular from Fedora over to Debian. Fedora had no problems reading it. Any suggestions would of course be appreciated. Thanks! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I might add that my /etc/resolv.conf file contained no nameserver IP numbers. I had to hand-edit them in. Not that they would have been useful without net access.
