/. are the geek mecca.

Unfortunately, with the way /. is written, while perfectly valid html, Umm, *cough* *cough* ;-) ... not nearly close to being remotely true here Slashdot is so bad that they have even blocked the W3C validator as users were complaining about it. Try it... save the index file (main page) of /. and upload it to the validator: File: Slashdot.htm Encoding: utf-8 Doctype:HTML 3.2 Errors: 115 115 errors on one page is definitely not perfectly valid html :P Actually the reason I bring this up is not to drill your opinion into the ground (nothing personal), but it goes back to when I often used dillo to surf with. Dillo, like many other browsers had big issues rendering slashdot. We did a lot of searching around then and found it to have terrible code. There were several compaints sent to slashdot to at least try fix their code. It seemed then only to get worse. Eventually we gave up, and they seem to have blocked validation services from showing just how bad their code actually is. All I'm trying to point out here is that you cannot base *any* browser on slashdot's code... that is unless you are testing for crashes ;-0 Greetings Ralph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I had an existing disk with a Gentoo install image on it and an empty one. So I made a RAID array out of partitions on the empty disk (only one partition per RAID device). I then mounted and copied files across from the install disk into the RAID devices - this worked fine.

Re: [gentoo-user] firefox 1.0.1 reload page problem
On Wed, Mar 02, 2005 at 04:13:00PM +0100, Ralph Slooten wrote: Umm, *cough* *cough* ;-) ... not nearly close to being remotely true here Slashdot is so bad that they have even blocked the W3C validator as users were complaining about it. Try it... save the index file (main page) of /. and upload it to the validator: File: Slashdot.htm Encoding: utf-8 Doctype: HTML 3.2 Errors: 115 115 errors on one page is definitely not perfectly valid html :P Actually the reason I bring this up is not to drill your opinion into the ground (nothing personal), but it goes back to when I often used dillo to surf with. Dillo, like many other browsers had big issues rendering slashdot. We did a lot of searching around then and found it to have terrible code. There were several compaints sent to slashdot to at least try fix their code. It seemed then only to get worse. Eventually we gave up, and they seem to have blocked validation services from showing just how bad their code actually is. All I'm trying to point out here is that you cannot base *any* browser on slashdot's code... that is unless you are testing for crashes ;-0 Greetings Ralph Actually, running the /. homepage through htmltidy showed that it is completely valid: 136 warnings and no errors. The warnings are all of the type empty font or p or font elements not being closed (but shouldn't really matter with proper scopes). Some others are reminents of /code, or tags missing suggested fields (for example, summary for table, I personally never used that...). As I said, any competant engine should be able to render the HTML (it works just fine in lynx and links (and it actually renders BETTER in links than in firefox for that matter)), which I take as meaning further evidence that the html is VALID. Note that VALID doesn't mean IDEAL. The w3c validator AFAIK makes noise as long as you don't follow their suggested practices (why should I put an ALT tag for an image if there is a caption clearly labeling the picture as such?). Of course, it is best to conform to the standard as much as possible, but slight and minor deviations like in the case of slashdot does not harm its validity. (Actually, the w3c validator also screams at news.com.com.com.com.com, and it renders just fine on most any browser I use). (going on a tangent here: the HTML validator really isn't the best tool here. For example, if you had bothered reading your 115 errors, you'd have realized that the vast majority is due to the characters used in URLs, that cuts it down to around 50. And if you ignore the one's due to w3c's deprecation of certain older attributes, and the ones generated from the use of inline style sheets (which unfortunately, HTML 3.02 does NOT support officially, but 4+ do), and the ones generated from silly comments like % is not allowed in width or # is not a literal character, you are down to 20 or so. Now some of them are just weird: what the heck is nobr anyway? But the rendering engines are supposed to ignore tags that they don't know about anyway (think lynx). The rest are issues with scopes: what tags are allowed to go inside of what else, which hardly anyone follows to the letter, and shouldn't affect rendering... In fact, none of the errors the validator produces has anything to do with BAD HTML code*, nor anything to do with why /. does not render properly in firefox 5 out of 6 tries. If you are a web designer, you are much better off using HTMLtidy to check your source to make sure it is sane and parseable...) However, just because the code is valid doesn't mean that it would look nice, or that it would render properly (as in, the way we like it) on all agents. It's just like coding in any other language: you can write something syntactically correct that doesn't do jack when it comes to solving the problem it is supposed to solve. In this case /. chose an extremely bad design and very incompatible with Firefox, but in a sense it rendered like the code told firefox to render it... What I am trying to say here is not to disagree with the fact that /. is broken, but that it is broken not because of Invalid HTML, but because of a bad design philosophy. It renders. But often it renders poorly. And thus should not be something to test your browsers with. Sorry to make such a big rant on the pedantics of code validity, and of course, nothing personal, but I really want to make a point distinguishing VALID code and PROPER code.

Compile the raid and scsi drivers in, and you can forget about mdadm.conf.

Now you're trying to re-assemble those arrays, but using 2 partitions? If I'm understanding you correctly, that won't work. But if you create an array using the partition that is/was in an array it should sync the data already on it over to the next one. I tried stopping the device and editing my mdadm.conf to reflect the changes I made (see grep lines in previous post) but this doesn't work. I think I need to do an additional step to get this working? The superblock contains all the information needed to assemble arrays, so perhaps it's overriding you configuration?

I think messages are stores in /var/mail, don't take my word for it though. Where the mail is stored will very much depend on where it is coming from and what mta/lda is delivering it, or more particularly how the mta/lda is configured. the standard for unix mail is to deliver to an mbox file of the user's name in /var/spool/mail, so all of root's mail would be in a file named /var/spool/mail/root, in mbox format. I see on my gentoo server that /var/mail is a symlink to /var/spool/mail, so we are both right :-) However unix systems are very configurable, and if you are using a particular imap or pop server such as courier or cyrus you will not want mail set up that way. in that case, courier wants to serve up maildir format files, and you would set up your mta/lda to deliver to something like ~/.maildir/ (but configurable to be anywhere sensible) Cyrus has its own mail format which its deliver binary takes care of, the mta/lda delivers to the deliver binary, which puts the mail in somewhere like /var/spool/imap/user/$USERNAME/ (again configurable) so where is my mail depends on how your system is set up.
