Re: [gentoo-user] how drives are mapped to files

After you make the switch the order will be gentoo at /dev/hda, mandrake at /dev/hdc (if it's master) and cd at /dev/hdd. That is, assuming that you'll plug the gentoo drive into the primary cable slot. (Which I recommend, since sometimes it's faster) that's not juste a matter of plugging the disc in the primary cable slot, you've got to set the jumpers correctly. If both discs' jumpers are on cable select, then yes, the first disc will be the master and the second one will be the slave. But you can choose which disc is master regardless of the cable's slot, by settting the jumpers on master and slave. -- mathieu perrenoud -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Does anyone have anything that will sort a large directory, preferably

just a random idea.
cd /away/from/lost+found

filetype=$(file$filename|awk -F: '{print $2}')
mkdir $filetype 2/dev/null
mv $filename $filetype

this should recursively move any file from lost+found to a dir whose name
match the file's type...
maybe you should first try it on some test files... I'm not responsible if

How do people who only have MP3 players get on with these corrupt Cd's. you can try this: Copy-protection systems work by adding a corrupt data track to the outside edge of a CD. This track is ignored by common audio CD players but prevents copying, and sometimes playing, in the more sensitive PC CD drives. By covering up a portion of the dividing line and outside track on the CD, without touching the last audio track, it is possible to fool the CD player into thinking that the extra corrupt data track does not exist. The marker pen line can easily be wiped away afterwards with a soft cloth. A similar result was also obtained by sticking bits of a Post-It note along the edge of the CD, but this is not advised as the paper may come loose and damage the drive.

I tought you might be interested in some news from your favorite distro: Despite signs of abating interest in it, Gentoo Linux was one of the most remarkable success stories of this year. Portage, Gentoo's package management system, has clearly won many supporters at the time of growing dissatisfaction with some binary package management formats, although excellent documentation, active support forums and valuable community newsletters have all contributed to Gentoo's becoming one of the most widely used Linux distributions today. But despite frequent assertions by die-hard Gentoo converts, questions still remain about the product being a viable option for a large-scale deployments on mission-critical servers. this was taken here: http://www.distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20031215 -- mathieu perrenoud -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The strange thing is that .bash_logout is always executed, but not

don't include the executable bit, and the .bash_profile contains this:
add echoes in your .bash* files, like:
echo executing bashrc
echo executing bash_profile
so you can see when each file is sourced.
And neither bashrc nor bash_profile needs the x bit, since they're sourced and

Is there anyway (perhaps iptables, but probably some other software) to automatically forward all traffic to the appropriate host from the outside? I know this has to be done at the packet level, but there are some hardware solutions for this, so I thought their might be something else out there... You can redirect traffic based on ports or IPs, but not on hostnames as that information is not contained in the IP header, only in some higher level protocols like HTTP. Yes, I'm aware of this. That is what I am wondering, if there is any program that actually checks the packets and forwards appropriate traffic... I think it has to be done on a per-protocol basis. For HTTP I would go for apache on the router and check the proxy and reverse_proxy directives. I don't think it's possible to do this at a more general level. And it's only possible to do this for protocols which encapsulate hostnames like http or ftp. You'll never be able to have your router forward nc spam.foo.bar 1234 to port 1234 of box spam.foo.bar. -- mathieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Sorry if I wasn't completely clear. emerge sys-fs/reiserfsprogs man reiserfsck Nothing there about setting reiserfsck to run at boot-time... I had already checked. somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the filesystem boot check depends on the sixth field of fstab's rows. From 'man fstab': The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked. -- mathieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

This is a known bug of baselayout:

the easiest fix until it's fixed is to manually edit net.eth0 and replace

Next time, I'll check the specs before buying a new card.

I don't think that the patch includes SATA support. Unless it was defined in

I just bought an Asus A7V600 SATA board where the SATA controller is
included in the southbridge and realized that its impossible to get it
working under Linux. The day after I bought the Asus A7N8X Deluxe which is
equipped with a Silicon Image 3112 Chip and it works pretty well.
If you have the chance to get rid of the A7V600 and exchange it against the
A7N8X Deluxe, do it!
I've bought an A7V600. It supports SATA so I guess it must be the A7V600 SATA.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
After installing the board, I couldn't boot with mandrake anymore and windows
booted on 320x200 without mouse or keyboard but gentoo (on an ATA card, not
on the board's ide controller) booted without problem. I had just lost DMA
control and that sort of thing.
I patched the my kernels for vt8237 support (manually, because gentoo-sources
don't handle the patch) and now everything is fine like before. Except
windows but I wasn't using it anyway ;-) I also patched my mandrake's kernel
and could boot mandrake too.
Note: I have not tried sata, the via sound interface or the 3com gigaethernet.
But everything else work fine. (almost: my kernel always complains about irq
routing conflicts during boot).

Re: [gentoo-user] new CPU march=athlon-xp
And a stupid question to end: could it be the OO's compilation that freeze my box? Yes and no. It could be because you were compiling OO, but not OO's fault. Building OO is a very processor intensive task. If you've already been having problems with overheating, then the first thing I'd try is to get better fans. Although, if this has been a problem for a while, there is a good chance that the mobo is damaged anyway from the overheating. Before you get the mobo, get better/more cooling fans. If that doesn't help, get the new mobo, and you'll already have the better fans to use with it :) I've got 2 brand new fans, and I've monitored temp, usage disk and whatever during compilation. everything was fine. As for the processor and RAM, it is okay to keep the old ones as long as you know that they work fine. Try running memtest86 on your RAM to make sure its in decent condition. Unless you're getting weird errors and segfaults everywhere, your processor is probably fine.

[gentoo-user] installing fans.
Thanks to all of you for answering my question about fans. I buyed two fans one pulling air inside from the front and one blowing it outside from the rear. And just after that, I felt really stupid when I saw that my chipset's fan was dead. Impossible to find a 4cm fan in my town to replace it. So I placed one of my new fan on my video card in front of my MB's chipset. Everything is cooler now: hds: 34°, box 28° and chipset 58° (idle). Actually the whole weather is cooler: 7° :-( I know that I've to find a better solution than having a fan standing on my videocard, but until then, it'll do like that. thanks again -- mathieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] installing fans (was: strange informations from lm-sensors)
After my yesterday's thread, I decided to buy one fan. When I saw the price, I buyed two instead. But now, I don't know how to place them in the case. The boxes of the fans says that I should place them at the rear of the case and make sure they pull air from the inside toward the outside. Yesterday, you told me that it could be better to pull air inside and the guy at the shop told me that on his own box he had a fan in front pulling air inside and one at the rear blowing air outside. I'm at a complete loss here. Should I follow box's instructions? or the guy's advice. I think I'll first try with one in the front and one in the back. If it's stupid or even dangerous, any quick warning would be greatly appreciated. -- mathieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] strange (alarming) informations from lm-sensors
The fan headers you don't have anything connected to, so don't worry about them. The VCore 2 I assume your machine does not use (do you have a P4 by athlon xp 1700+ any chance?). The -12v and -5v lines being way off probably means your PSU isn't supplying them, or is doing an extremely bad job of it. There is very, very little equipment around that uses these lines, so again, don't worry about them. The temp2 is quite high, I'd look into better cooling for your CPU. Unless the machine is stable in which case I wouldn't worry again I've lots of things in my box: 4 hdds, dvd, cd, zip, ... Could this be the explanation of the high temps and bad voltage? Should I take some things out? Add new fans? What would be the acceptable temperature for temp2? (and for hdds btw) -- mathieu perrenoud -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Le Jeudi 25 Septembre 2003 17:08, Matthew Coulson a écrit : athlon xp 1700+ Hmm. I took a guess at the CPU from the temp2, as you might have been overclocking a P4 and overvolting it to 1.85. 69 degrees is a bit hot for an XP I've lots of things in my box: 4 hdds, dvd, cd, zip, ... Could this be the explanation of the high temps and bad voltage? The voltages used by this equipment +5, +12, +3.3 are all extremely good, so theres no extreme power drain from them. 33c chassis temperature is also very good. Should I take some things out? No need Add new fans? If it's stable no. If you're paranoid about temperatures (which normally happens once someone finds out what the temperatures inside their machine is) then yes. To be honest I would try to get a better CPU cooler setup as personally I wouldn't be happy with 69c. I'm not happy with 69C. But I have choosen a big fan when I buyed my PC. Could my fan be on the wrong side? Should it pull the hot air outside or blow cold air inside? Now my pc is totally idle but it's temperature is 70C. My HDD are now at 39C. What is a better cpu cooler setup? a better fan? What would be the acceptable temperature for temp2? (and for hdds btw) I tend to go by a 50c maximum. You're not getting the HD's temperatures with the lm sensor, you'll need a S.M.A.R.T monitoring program for that. On my Shuttle SS51G (P4 2.4 non-overclocked, 1 Seagate Barracuda IV 40G, 1 Barracuda V 120Gb), when I was running WinXP/2K, I used SpeedFan to monitor temperatures and adjust fan speed accordingly. On 1% fan speed I would achieve 49-50c CPU when idle, and 48-50c HDD. This made the fans completely inaudible. Once above 50c the fans would gradually speed up 5% a second to cool it down. This weekend I hope to have a go getting a similar setup on my Gentoo install (the Shuttles built in fan throttling won't throttle enough!), and I'm hoping it will be a simple case of getting the following http://member.melbpc.org.au/~iann/varyfan/ working!

Re: [gentoo-user] strange (alarming) informations from lm-sensors
thanks everybody for all your quick and useful answers ;-) (as always on the gentoo forum. that's (another) reason why I'm fond of gentoo). I've seen pictures of water-cooled boxes and that sort of things. I'just want to have a quiet and normal heated PC. No need to do supra-conduction at 3°K. When I talk about wrong-sided fan, I meant the cpu cooler. I've turned it around. But the temp is still the same (67°C now). My case is an enermax and it's true that I've a lot of IDE cables around. So what do I do now? My main goal is to have a quiet PC. My TV is in the same room. I want to be able to hear tv while make modules-ing, make bzImage-ing and emerge world-ing. I don't have any case fan and after all your answers I guess that the first thing I should do is buy one and use it to pull air inside. thanks again for everything Brett is absolutely right. It can't be too cool inside your case. But, there is the law of diminishing returns. At some point, the air inside your box gets so close in temperature to the ambient that more fans becomes a waste of money and power supply wattage. In my Athlon XP 2100+ box, the inside air temp stays at about 10 degrees C above ambient and the processor about 5 degrees C above that. Currently, CPU temp is 36 C inside air is 32 C and ambient is 23 C. I have 2 generic fans at the front of the box sucking air in and one at the rear blowing out. The CPU heatsink and fan are the basic AMD approved units that came with the processor. ($8 retail)The 450 Watt PSU is a dual fan unit that sucks air in from within the case and blows it out at the top rear. The dead spots that Brett mention can be the fault of a poorly designed case or, more commonly cables and other stuff obstructing air flow. The biggest culprits are the IDE cables. If not positioned properly they can cut air flow to the point where you can have 20 degree differences in temps in various spots within the case. The best bet is to buy the round jacketed cables, but these can severely destroy a budget. I tend to tuck extra length of my IDE cables into unused drive bays and rout them in places where they won't block air flow I hope this helps you some what. -- mathieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] HDs dying. please save me
Since I've installed gentoo, all my HDs went crazy. I'm completly at a loss when talking of hardware. Here is my disk layout: hda: mandrake's root, /home hdb: winXP root hdc: gentoo's root Monday, my /home (hda) stopped responding with lots of dma and other hd related errors. I buyed a new disk to do some backups and swap the failing disk. After plugging the new disk (hdd), everything was fine again. I did my backups, but didnt removed the faulty disk. Tuesday, my / (hdc) stopped responding after a reboot. Every module modprobing gave errors. Some directories were gone (/usr/lib/portage for example). I mounted the gentoo's cd to get tools back, but /usr/lib/portage was back. Next reboot freezed after not finding some modules. I rebooted in mandrake. Everything was there but reiserfsck found some errors and the screwed my partition. I tought it would be a good idea to clear the disk and reinstall from scratch (on hdc again). 36 hours of compilation later, everything was fine again. I backuped the whole install on hdd. Thursday, hdc went wrong again, every parition messed up again. I took hdc out and booted on the backup partition of hdd. All clear. And today, /home (hda), gave me some new errors. First that message: maison kernel: journal-601, buffer write failed printed on every console. Then Input/output error on every access try. Mount, fdisk and hdparm never return. The BIOS seems happy with each disk. Mandrake never gave me any HD error. What can I do now? Change my motherboard? throw my disks away? How can I be sure that the error come from the disks, from the MB's chipset or from a gentoo's driver? Could the fact that I told my disks to fo to standby mode after a while cause problems? Is there a tool to tests the whole disks? Every help would be appreciated. thanks in advance. -- mathieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] hd problem
First, backup the data on hda. Then, try a different IDE cable. If that doesn't work, try putting a spare drive (if you have one) on that particular cable in place of the screwy one. If it still acts up then its the controller. If you plug the IDE cable directly into the motherboard, your motherboard is dying. I got a disk in hdb, same cable, same controller. Can I conclude the cable and the controller are ok? And what does 2xbeep means in BIOS? I searched in the error codes but couldn't find it.
