The sysfs file system (normally mounted at /sys) is your friend, e.g: $ ls -l /sys/block/sda/device/driver lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2009-10-14 16:16 /sys/block/sda/device/driver -> ../../../../../../bus/scsi/drivers/sd But this just tells us that it's being driven by the SCSI disk driver (sd) which is kinda obvious. A lot more information is hidden away here however - you can use tools like udevinfo or systool to trawl the file system and output the information in a more readable format. To get all attributes for sda: $ udevinfo -ap /block/sda http://pastebin.com/m1fb2047d To get device attributes for all scsi disks on the system: $ systool -c scsi_disk -v http://pastebin.com/m263ebacc Regards, Bryn. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

It's nothing to do with busybox (despite the hostname). If anything a better place for the question would be the ext3-users[1] or linux-raid[2] mailing lists (as it's a question about optimising ext3 for use on Linux software RAID devices).

I think it ambiguous whether they are looking for the total size of the file system or the the amount of the file system that can be used for storing stuff (i.e. not including stuff needed to track which blocks are part of which files and the like).

Moved a FC10 drive between two systems - eth0 not recognized
This is something I have done a lot with Centos, but for the first time with FC10. I have 2 Compaq SFFs one old, the other older. The just old one is my production server. The older one is my test server. Both have 512Mb memory. Both, I believe, have Intel ethernet on the system board, but different versions. 2 years ago when I moved a Centos 5 drive from the development to the production server, everything worked fine. Yes I ran system-config-display to get it to recognize the new video (I run inittab 3 for the most part, so this was an extra step). Now with FC10, the production server's ethernet is not recognized. ifconfig only shows L0 I tried system-config-network and it recognized something ( just the ifcfg-eth0 file?) and saved and updated the ifcfg-eth0 file. I rebooted the system and still no eth0 on the system. So for now, I put the drive in the development system and am running from that, but the production system has twice the CPU speed. So what is the magic as there is no longer kudzu? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Well, I'm assuming that's what s/he meant.

The only touchpad computer that I use on a regular basis is my little Acer, and I had to set up a new Mac laptop for a customer.It's the first Mac that I've actually touched since the SE was the latest thing, so I really hadn't much of a clue what I was doing. It took me several minutes to figure out that I had to give the touchpad a really good push to make it register a click; any touchpads I've used on other computers register a gentle tap.

I feel the same way about the "Mini" moniker. I guess its somewhat justified that the netbooks are called Minis because they have more computing power than the old minis (PDP 11 et al) did. There isn't anything mini about a PDP11 any more... except if you compare its size to an old mainframe. Its astonishing to think how much processing power we can buy for ~$400 these days. (See HP Mini 311, for example...) 30 years ago $400 would have bought less than a day's computing time. Now it buys an entire machine that is way faster and nicer. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Celeron something (i.e., not even an Atom), 4G SSD, and it started life with 512M memory before getting 2G.

Do the netbooks (Atoms, AMDs et al) just run a plain x86_64
distribution ? Or does one need to mod a few things ?
For the Intel based ones generally a plain x86-32 distribution. It's a
win to compile a custom kernel optimised for Atom, and ditto glibc so
that you get the later instruction optimisations.
Be careful which Dell mini and do your research on compatibility. A lot
of the netbooks have unsupported broadcom wireless devices, and the Dell
mini-10 also has unsupported video (the 10v has more 'normal' video)
Another problem is that a lot of the touchpads on mini laptops suck so
try, test and see. I have a Dell mini-9 which actually gets used as a
firewall/router (small, built in console screen, built in UPS !) where
the wireless doesn't work and the touchpad isn't great, and a Samsung
NC-10 with real hard disk which has become my travelling box and runs a
full Fedora.
Definitely try before you buy...
I concur. I got my Acer (it's the 32-bit Atom beastie) because it's
handy in emergencies. As I said, the display's too small, the keyboard
too cramped and the touchpad too sensitive for daily use. For daily
heavy use, I have an HP dv6565us laptop (64-bit F11) and a plethora of
desktop machines (all 64-bit F11 except one that's still 64-bit F10).

I have an EEEPC-1000H Atom N280 1GB RAM No SSD - yet The PC is alright, I can definitely notice the slowness due to the atom processor, even the stripped down version of windows was a pain. I have it running pretty lean at the moment, but like I said, there is a huge difference between a regular 1.6Ghz and an Atom 1.6Ghz The sound was not working properly off the bat, just had to modprobe the right module options and now it is working perfectly. When it had 1GB of RAM things ran alright, flash tends to be a bit of an issue even when I have 2GB of ram (a bit choppy, but not too bad). Other applications work fine, audio/video playback is great. The wireless works out of the box (even N). I am going to get an SSD soon to try and speed a few things up.

input/output error on disk(?)
when trying to copy a certain file, i get the message: cp: reading 'file' : Input/output error i took the volume it was on offline, & did a forced e2fsck. same thing. smartctl -H tells me the drive 'passes' . i can change the name with mv, no problem there. are there any other (non-destructive) steps i can take? thanks, charles zeitler -- Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole of The Law -Aleister Crowley -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
