Try using ext3 as your journaling filesystem. It has the exact same specs as ext2 with journaling as an additional layer, so I'm assuming that ghost will treat it as ext2 and copy it as such. I haven't used the latest version, so others can correct me if I'm wrong, but originally, you could mount the same fs as ext2 or ext3 and it would work either way, back and forth, with no problems. -Eric -- arctic bears - email and name services 25 email addresses@yourdomain CA$11.95/month DNS starting at CA$3.49/month - domains from CA$25.95/year for details contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://www.arcticbears.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] setting up new linux workstations
I'm currently using the EPOX 8KTA3 motherboard along with a 256MB PC133 stick of SDRAM and a 1Ghz Athlon with a "266 MHz" bus. The board has six (!) PCI slots, an AGP slot, onboard ATA/100, an ISA slot (remember those?), four USB connectors, onboard AC97 sound (that I don't use; my SoundBlaster PCI128 does four-speaker support.

[expert] setting up new linux workstations
If you were asked by someone to build two linux workstations where one had to be pentium 4 based and the other athlon based, what two motherboards would you use? For the pentium 4, I was considering the Abit TH7II-Raid (i850 chipset). I am not for certain if there are any known issues with mandrake 8.1 and the i850 chipset. From what I have read I think it will run fine. For the Athlon, I am unsure which board to use. Which board does not have any known problems? I know some VIA chipsets have known problems. If these problems have been addressed with the newest Mandrake release then great, if not I would like to know which board to use and which to stay away from. I would like to be able to run the harddrives at the desired speeds of ATA/66 or ATA/100 without any data corruption resulting from VIA bugs. I would also like a board with more than two DIMM slots.

Re: [expert] Help with email client
When setting up your account, you can tell KMail to delete mail on the server (i.e. it downloads it to you then deletes it). In other words, all messages would be deleted from the mail server and KMail would have them until you deleted them in KMail. If you already have set up an account in KMail, you can turn this setting on by going to the Configure Kmail under Settings menu. Click on Network and your account should be shown at the bottom part of the dialog window. Click on it and click Modify. There should be a check box there that says something like: delete mail from server. That's it.

Yes.. there is an option on KMail to 'delete messages on the server'. Then you decide if you also want to delete those messages locally, but it is available under KMail.

Re: [expert] Help with Mdk8.1: Gnome + Enlightenment + Nautilus????
One workaround I have found for this blatant bug in Gnome or GMC is to create floating panels in Gnome and add launchers for applications or URL's in them. I actually like this better now, as I have floating text captions for the comment section for different apps or websites. Now I can safely just use Enlightenment without using gnome-session, I can just launch gmc & panel from with Enlightenment, which according to the Enlightenment docs, is actually faster.

Well, my epson is working fine. I'm using cups, but if you use pdq as your spooler you will have the option of killing a print job immediately. I set it up during one install of the betas and it puts an icon on the desktop when printing to hit if you want to stop it. But I really don't think there is a big problem with cups as this is the first time I didn't have to tweak setting to get descent printing from my epson. Maybe you could rerun printerdrake and re-set it up. Mine did nothing during the install and I too thought printing was still fscked, but I ran printerdrake after install and all is fine. > This is a serious flaw within this distro not to mention that supermount is > not implamented! True, they have been having problems with supermount for a while and thus is disabled by default. However you can enable it yourself and many have reported it works fine. I have enabled mine and it works fine. you know the command right? supermount -i enable > I also have an NVIDIA video card that worked just fine > with 8.0 but the drivers don't compile in 8.1!! I'm using the 1541 straight from nvidia and they were flawlessly. What seems to be your problem? I got the deprecated this and that during compile, but they still work fine. There is also a couple of sites with help for the stubborn systems with driver tweaks and embellishments for 8.1: http://www.mandrakeuser.org/download.php?dcategory=NVIDIA+For+8.1&sortby= http://home.cinci.rr.com/salaneking/ Also, I have found that I have to change the agp default option of 3 to 1 in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Otherwise, my X hangs/freezes during login. This is nvidia's change not mandrake's. I just had to put this: Option "NvAGP" "1" under graphics device section options. > I have used Mandrake since 6.0 and I am extreamly dissapointed with this > effort. Sloppy work, they got into to much of a hurry to put this one out. > This is a Microsoft thing to do! Well, that was uncalled for. :-) However, I have come to realize that each new version mandrake puts out there is an adjustment period. I have to learn how to do things all over again. Such is the price for bleed edge technology. I happen to think it is a GREAT version and worthy of compliment. > I normaly tout this distro but what ever you do DONT PAY A DIME FOR THIS > VERSION!!!

Thank you. > Looking for a new distro to recomend to all customers currently about 4 > offices about ten servers running Mandrake. That's your choice.

I don't have an answer for you on your Epson and Cups. But, in the Mandrake Forum is an article discussing the reasons behind not using supermount.

RE: [expert] Now I screwed up.. WooHoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know, there was an easier way At the LILO prompt, type "1" or "init=/bin/sh" at the end of your image name. That will get you to a root prompt. Then cd into /dev. The program "mknod" creates device files. /dev/null is no exception; it can be recreated. mknod --help reveals the syntax: mknod /dev/null is a character device. After looking at the file on my system (via ls -l), I find the "major" number of device /dev/null is 1; the minor is 3. So: mknod /dev/null c 1 3 Now change permissions as you like (I recommend chmod 666, chown root.mem), and you're back in business. Restart, and continue as normal. Again, it's nice to know that there are few problems that are unsolvable in this system. All it takes is knowledge, not a reinstall (Unlike that other OS...). You could have also just used "cp -a" to copy the /dev/null from the ramdisk into your filesystem's /dev. The "-a" (or "archive) switch makes sure it saves file information, like devices, when copying. -- Asheesh.

[expert] About a kernel patch - if_tr.h
Hi, I have a server running LM7.2. I had to recompile the kernel because I had a little problem with my University LAN: From some machines (192.168.152.x) I can't view my server (public IP). The solution: to edit /usr/src/linux/include/linux/if_tr.h and put the line: #define TR_RII 0x00 instead of: #define TR_RII 0x80 (the original) And recompile the kernel. I will update to LM8.1 soon. When I do the update, it's neccesary to change that line and recompile the kernel? Is it a problem with the kernel or with the LAN of the University?
