When I try to mount or unmount my windows partitions, the mount operations hang. System keeps running except for the mount or unmount processes. Needs a reboot to clear. Any ideas?

I've never had the need to use anything like that, however. If anyone is interested, there is an RPM for qmail at www.freezer-burn.org/rpm.php3?rpm=qmail *however* it is currently a little on the experimental side since qmail's distribution license makes it very difficult to build a proper install base without patching anything (which is against the license). Makes it a little trickier, however the version up there should work completely as advertised (1.03-6mdk). The only thing I suggest against is rebuilding the source RPM at this point until I write a new installation script (again, a limitation of not being able to patch the installer). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net // Danen Consulting Serviceswww.danen.net, www.freezer-burn.org // MandrakeSoft, Inc. www.linux-mandrake.com 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux uptime: 2 days 9 hours 47 minutes.

I'm afraid I've got something extremely stupid to confess. I was monkeying around this evening resizing some partitions. I made the Windows partition smaller, which freed up about 3.5GB, which I turned around and turned into a part of Linux's file system as /home.

What you've really got with that is you entire linux file system residing as a file on a fat32 filesystem and mounted as a loopback device. That by itself is guaranteed to kill any performance. (FWIW, I tried Lnx4Win with 6.0. A regular install took about 15-20 minutes while Lnx4Win took more than 90 to accomplish the same thing.) The other thing is you memory. Just plan vanilla X without a memory hog like KDE sitting on top of it will eat most of that. So, you're spending a great deal of time swapping through the loopback bottleneck. While performance would certainly increase with more RAM, I think you would see even more improvement by switching to a "real" linux file system. -- _ _|_|_ ( ) *Anton Graham /v\ / <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /( )X (m_m) GPG ID: 18F78541 Penguin Powered!

[expert] Intallation Problems
Hello, I am having a problem with my scsi devices. Linux - Mandrake recognizes my scsi card (aha152x) by sending all the right parameters, but it doesn't recognizes my hard disk and CD-W connected to the scsi card. There is a section in the Linux-Mandrake where there are the patches for it. There is a image boot disk and a patch image. When I tried to create the image boot disk in a diskette i found an error. The error is basically that the image is bigger than the capacity of the diskette and it doesn't fit on the diskette. So I am still unable to install Mandrake 7.1 in my scsi hard disk. Can anyone help me?

Re: [expert] BellSouth's FastAccess DSL Internet connectivity.
I just got mine running with PPPoE. It works okay when it works. They have problems sometimes in So. FL. On the PPPoE connection they give you an Alcatel external Modem (only if you bitch). This is the one you want. The IPs are dynamic and the download speeds are about 1/2 what the say (750 - 800). Use roaring penguin's PPPoE client B/C the crap that they give you (Enternet) doesn't work... at least in my case. I had a problem NIC (old ISA) andit did not authenticate. It was a problem, but with the Linksys 100 TX cards work fine. As for NICs, you can IP alias on one card (I've heard) and set up the internal static IP as the alias. - Original Message - From: "Austin L.

[expert] "top"
Hello, Just a curious question here; I was just running 'gears' from the mesa demos and was seeing about a steady 177 fps. Just for kicks I opened another window and ran 'top' and left gears running which promptly shot up to 214 fps! I would think opening another app would slow it way down but I was wondering what the functions of top are? Does it also kill background processes when you invoke it? What would explain the change in speed on gears? Thanks, Mike -- Mike & Tracy Holt Kirkland, WA [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [expert] comand line ftp client - what RPM?
Basically it works like the old ftp, but in addition it supports name completion and wildcards. It also can save bookmarks. These features make it much eaysier to use than the original ftp command.

I do have SO installed on Windows 2000 and it looks great! It even opens much faster than the Linux version, but that could be due to a number of factors - I should probably think before slamming an entire product. Netscape does have good qualities, each update (4.72, .73 and now .74) looks like the only thing they've really changed is the version number though!

here's an update I suspect MySQL was involved. I found it today with a zombie that seems to screw with the networking. FTP access was dead and you couldn't kill MySQL - zombies suck - it was still serving web pages like a bat out of hell and ssh was just fine. I rebooted cleanly and it's back to normal now. I was running the version of MySQL that shipped with mandrake 7.0. I have upgrade to the newest version so hopefully it wont happen again. anybody else seen something like this? thanks Gavin on 8/3/00 9:46 PM, Gavin Clark wrote: > hi, > > I had a server crash today. > it's back up now but I was wonddering if someone could shed some light on > what happened. > > I'm not sure what cause the crash. > > You could ping it but none of the network services were responding: http, > ftp , ssh (this was the killer for me because I control it remotely) > > couldn't log in from the console so I killed the power. > > When it came up my raid partition SWAP was screwed up and I had to restart > the swap device and reboot. > > it's back up and running. > > here's some of the things that might have triggered it - don't know. > > 1. right before I had adjusted a user's crontab in vi - I might have srewed > up the syntax or done something wierd in vi by accident > > 2. the DNS server - on another box - crashed. > > 3. it had been getting lots of web traffic. > > where do I start looking for causes? > > thanks, > Gavin >

If it must be loaded and then finds that it's request must wait for diald to complete, there may be some sort of overlapping of wait periods. try insmod /lib/modules/your_kernel_version/ipv4/ip_masq_irc.o before you start mIRC. pelon

How does one know when looking at the source code on that page that the applet was done in Java. When I have looked at the code on other sites , they have listed : lang. so I know it was done in Java but this page dosen't do that. I suppose to be able to view this type of applet in Linux one needs to have some sort of MS VM clone installed Maybe I have just been lucky but on both my systems pages display in SO as well as in IE and in most cases load faster. You can and in some case have to do more tweaking in linux in so far as fonts, sizes, DPI, etc. to customize it to your preferences. In my case I have used Netscape only if I had to(I don't like it) so I was happy to get SO installed and running. Charles :-)

You might shorten the pause between digits. These are Modem Initialization issues. Thes could help speed your time to connect, but I'm sorry I do not know what is taking the 8-12 seconds before your modem is taken off-hook. How did you enable dial on demand?

Hi Steven, Specify your special listening address in /etc/hosts.allow as such: ssh:63.196.197.0/255.255.255.0 I noticed earlier that you had specified sshd in hosts.allow. I think that ssh should be used instead. In /etc/ssh/sshd_config reset your ListenAddress to 0.0.0.0 SSH is a great tool that you'll want to master.

There's your answer, while the port/zip drive were recoginized, the kernel modules were not loaded. try the following insmod usbcore insmod usb-uhci insmod usb-storage then try mounting the drive. -- Alex (Go easy on me, I'm a COBOL programmer in real life)
