[expert] Mandrake 8.2
Hi, We successfully installed Mandrake 8.2 on a ML530 (cciss raid card). The problem was that the new cciss drivers is creating the device as: /dev/cciss/disc0/disc /dev/cciss/disc0/part1 /dev/cciss/disc0/part3 /dev/cciss/disc0/part5 ... We think that the Mandrake guy are still using the old device scheme: /dev/cciss/c0d0p0 /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 To make it work we installed the OS without SWAP, and before the reboot: 1) create the swap 2) change the divice name in /etc/fstab Bye.

[expert] 80 GB Harddrive with Mandrake 8.2
I have just purchased a Maxstor 80GB Hard drive (D740X-6L). The computer is a new P4 1.6 and the bios auto-detects it properly. It is mounted as hdc (it is master on second ide channel with no slave) When I use diskdrake, I can see the drive but, it reports it as being a 76GB drive (96% usage). When I delete the partitions, create a new partition that takes the whole space, it still reports 96% and not 100% usage. When I try to format the drive as ext2 or ext3 or reiserfs, diskdrake reports that it fails and cannot format the drive. When I use fdisk, and create a ext2 partition, everything appears correct, but when I save the partition table, reboot and try to mkfs the harddrive, it reports that the drive is not a block special device, do I want to continue, and if I say yes, it fails. I have tried multiple different drives of the same make and model, and I have tried different sized partitions, with the same results. It appears the drive formating programs are having a problem with the size of the drive. Can anyone give me some guidence so that I may use this drive with linux? thanks Dalton Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[expert] SB Live 5.1 Modprobe Problem
Hi, I'm using a SB Live 5.1 under MDK 8.2 with ALSA 0.5.12a (standard install) and sound is OK. But for some reason modprobe (on boot) is looking for snd-card-1 through to 7 if I check /var/log/messages. I don't understand why it's looking for further soundcards when only 1 is installed on snd-card-0. If I alias the cards 0 to 7 to; alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1 alias snd-card-1 snd-card-emu10k1 etc Then the problem is gone, but this seems a fudgey way to solve it. Any hints appreciated.

Re: [expert] 80 GB Harddrive with Mandrake 8.2
I'll second the statement below From my 80gb Maxtor I get about 70 gigs (rough estimate) of data space. First is the rounding Tom spoke of then there is the overhead for the files systems etc. I'm running mine as HDA without problem. The ONLY thing I've noticed is that if it shares space on an IDE controller with a drive that is DMA 2 it will slow it down. (I had the CD-Rom as it's slave for a while) Maxtor seems to only like to share with Maxtor.

Re: [expert] 80 GB Harddrive with Mandrake 8.2
It was not the fact that I was getting less than 80GB, it was the fact that diskdrake was reporting to me that I was using 96% of the drive when I told it to use 100%. (it does not matter what the size it reports, 100% is 100%) Also, the problem was that, although I could make partitions, I could not format them The problem was that the drive was set to do maximum sector transfers in the bios. Linux did not seem to like that. When the bios was set to allow 32 sector transfers, everything was fixed. It must be the IDE code in the kernel has a problem with sector transfers of greater than 32 with this particular drive. best regards Dalton On Tuesday 09 July 2002 5:38 pm, tom brinkman wrote: > On Tuesday 09 July 2002 06:55 am, Dalton Calford wrote: > > I have just purchased a Maxstor 80GB Hard drive (D740X-6L). > > The computer is a new P4 1.6 and the bios auto-detects it properly. > > It is mounted as hdc (it is master on second ide channel with no > > slave) When I use diskdrake, I can see the drive but, it reports it > > as being a 76GB drive (96% usage). > > 1000/1024 = ~97% HDD manufaturers take some creative license to > call a million bytes a MB, and then they tend to round up.

[expert] X login scripting
I have been wanting to set up some login scripting to mount per user server shares from NT4 or Samba servers. After doing some reading today on a different topic I ran across some information that said that /etc/X11/gdm/PreSession and /etc/X11/gdm/PostSession might be used to accomplish this task - except it doesn't. I actually cannot find any sign that a display manager, gdm or otherwise, is even running on my Mandrake 8.1 system. netstat -ap | grep dm doesn't show anything regardless whether I start a gnome or kde session. This Pre/PostSession stuff appears to be a place where scripts using the $HOME and $USER variables can accomplish what I'm trying to do on a Redhat 7.x system. Is there any ONE location where scripting can mount shares for any number of users on a Mandrake system? Thanks. -- Mike Rambo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Only because they are ugly, unreliable and smell bad. If you overrule that advice -- Buy two, make sure the carts interchange, and verify the backups by loading them on a second machine. I used them for years on an old RedHat box. Got them to work fairly well by twidling parameters. It felt good to look at the carts on the shelf, but... I keep an old Debian box around for no other purpose than backing up other servers. It has a CDRW so I can archive things in pieces. It has saved my ass many times. Not once in 30 some years of computing has a tape been so kind. One of these days DVD-R media will be cheap. In the meantime, I keep carving the world into 650MB pieces.

Personally I have not had a Travan-based drive, but one thing I noticed is that the cost of the tapes themselves are rather expensive. DATs are cheaper (my dds-4's were $5 a pop when I got them) and even though the cost of the drive may be less expensive, if you plan on needing a number of tapes you may be better off with DAT. > Matthew Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Hi, I saw a message on the security announce list regarding LSB 1.2 being made available now. I've checked rpmdrake, and found that I've never installed any of the LSB packages from the distribution CDs. I *can* just go ahead and install via rpmdrake from the update FTP site, and I'm guessing that the ones I want to install are: glibc_lsb lsb lsb-release Anyone who knows, please correct me if I've got the wrong packages here. Also, I would like to know what the pros and cons (if any) are of using/installing these packages are. Please don't ask me to go to the LSB website - I've already done that and the information there isn't in a form/format that *my* brain can process in a reasonable amount of time. :-) Thanks. --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] LSB 1.2
Hi Dave LSB is the Linux Standards Base and the update is to bring things into line with it. You probably haven't seen it before because a lot of Mandrake already adheres to the LSB. ttfj John On Tuesday 09 July 2002 08:51 pm, you wrote: > Hi, > > I saw a message on the security announce list regarding LSB 1.2 being made > available now.
