F11 dmraid assistance (raid1)
I'm pulling my hair out over a RAID1 setup. * Two 1TB Seagate 7200.12 drives (sda and sdb) * RAID1 using Intel OROM. * Two partitions: /boot partition ext3, LVM2 encrypted partition with / XFS and swap * sdb formed a bad sector, I'm going to RMA it. * There are no other hard drives attached. First I attempted to shutdown and unplug the bad drive. Fedora wouldn't boot -- gets to Password: prompt for encrypted partition. Correct password is entered but the encrypted partition cannot be mounted. I narrowed it down to that the /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 partitions are not showing up so the kernel can't find the correct UUID from /etc/crypttab to mount /. Second, I plugged the bad drive back in. Fedora boots normally. Third, I get brave and remove the bad drive from the RAID using the Intel OROM. I then turn off the machine and remove the bad drive. Fedora won't boot -- gets past password prompt, but during bootup it cannot find my /boot partition and dumps me to a recovery shell. Fourthly, I plug the bad drive back in and Fedora boots. The bad drive is no longer in the RAID, but its old partitions are exposed. The UUID of /dev/sdb1 matches and so it mounts /boot. Fifthly, I couldn't get the bad drive to rebuild so I used a Fedora Live USB install to start the rebuild. Rebooted and Fedora wouldn't boot. No /dev/sda1 partition and no /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb2 partitions! Now I'm stuck in a loop inbetween the 3rd and 4th attempt at safely removing the bad drive from my RAID1 array.

Heads up: Brute force attacks on the rise recently
It seems in the past month brute force attacks are on the rise. They are targeting anyone listening on port 22 and go after root. If you do not have a hardened box, you will see thousands upon thousands of connections in your logs. Once logged in they will set your system up in their botnet. Google: dt_ssh5 This little baby will get placed in /tmp and will be running. Looks to be a SSH gateway for the attackers for easy access/control. -Make sure your root password is not a dictionary word. -Add iptables rules to limit multiple connections on SSH to 4 within a minute.[1] Perhaps this needs to become a Fedora default. -Update your system. -Use SELinux. Why am I sending this message? Is it SPAM? No. I've seen this hit a customer and cause an explosion in their network traffic. The backdoor was installed on Sept. 30th and was not detected until recently. Google results seem to indicate this past month with higher than normal brute force activity.

It is a good idea to avoid those but if there are substantial benefits, it is fine. The focal point of the discussion isn't what it originally include but how the software changes in updates. Do you use thunderbird as your main mail client? If so, did you find the changes in the update not disruptive for you? I do use TB (read my email headers). I fully understood that TB 3.0 was in beta and could drastically change at any moment. I keep track of their development as well so I was prepared for the changes that have happened. If you expect beta software to act like stable software then you need to update your dictionary. We aren't talking about upstream development however. It is the responsibility of the thunderbird package maintainers in Fedora to avoid updates that prevents the mail client from being usable for a substantial amount of time and changes the UI in a unexplained way. The modifications required to avoid those would have been rather simple. The TB 3.0 updates have been sitting in updates-testing for at least a week or so before they are released into updates.

Otherwise, it would have been easy enough to disable those couple of features we are talking about in the update and avoid the hassle for users. Did I say that people should do exactly as I do? No. Please don't put words in my mouth. It is NOT ok if I update my mail client in any stable release of Fedora and get a different UI where my folders are rearranged and my mail client proceeds to index gigabytes of my mail sucking up the CPU and generally making it unusable for quite sometime. A new release with a new UI and behaviour is ok. An update changing it like this is definitely not. Then were was your negative karma?

I am told that the x64 code is not clean, and wondered if for x64 users with large numbers of accounts and large amounts of mail stored that maybe the 3.0pre code may actually work where it did not work for 3.0b4 in the x64 case? I have just moved from b2 to b4 as b2 gave me signficant problems with starttls connections to a dovecot imap server but my case was i386. 1) x64 is Microsoft's marketing term. Why are you using it? 2) I run F11 x86_64 on two Core 2 machines. TB 3.0b4 on both. Dovecot IMAP with STARTTLS enabled. No problems whatsoever. Indexing on folders with thousands of e-mails worked fine. I've gone from b2, b3, and b4 without any problems. I've only seen the nice bug fixes and new features come up. I doubt the validity of the claim that your bugs are 64-bit only issues. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

I switched to 32 bit mozilla.org 3.0pre (on x64 install of f11) and the problems went away. The beta 4 (from updates-testing) started the indexing thing - and then it took 100% cpu and memory growth went to 3.5 GiB - after a period memory use fell to 200 MiB, cpu declined .. then it repeated this cycle several times .. i left this for 6 hours - eventually tb locked up and left a dirty screen image - stuck - cpu usage went to 0 for TB. I had to hand kill it. Installing the stock mozilla 386 build has no such problems. I suspect there is some 64 very unclean code underlying the problem. Tho it could be beta 4 versus pre as well Gee.

Close comments/karma after update push?
After a recent xorg bug[1] with intel chips, I had to question the use of bodhi for karma/comments after an update has been pushed to updates. Should the comments and karma for packages be closed after an update leaves updates-testing? I don't see any value and it seems the wrong place to have notes about bugs on released packages. Bug reports should go in Bugzilla, no? Should a comment be left on the page before it is closed noting to report bugs to Bugzilla to be a nice pointer for the uninformed? Perhaps a pointer to the next update in line to be released as a user may stumble on an older release.

Sound volumes giving you fits?
It might be that new feature implemented in F11 called flat volumes. In an attempt to copy Windows, for only God knows why, the PA folks made your apps change the system volume. This, coupled with a bug in gstreamer adjusting at logarithmic amounts instead of linear, it makes volume management a pain. The fix? /etc/pulse/daemon.conf Uncomment flat-volumes = yes and change it to no and save. Log out, wait 30 seconds for pulse to die (another great feature) and log in. Volume level changes are now normal again! Coupled with the latest PA update yesterday, F11 now sounds like F10. Ah...

Beware of the 2.6.30 kernel that was just released in updates. There's an outstanding bug[1] that bit me after updating. You'll suffer significant signal loss and probably be dropped from your AP. Returning to 2.6.29 (at grub time) will bring you back to sanity. Note: Turning off power management helps if you have it on.

From /proc/cpuinfo I see that there is the ht flag, but the system gets only one cpu. In bios I see no option for enabling/disabling hyperthreading, so that I suppose it is enabled by default but I could be wrong I have to apply in the mean time a bios update but I would like to ask if using PAE implies no ht and if using i586 I can get ht or not in general.
