A couple of quick definitions: 1. initrd - an initial ramdisk of a fixed size loaded into memory by the boot loader used to get the system ready to mount the root filesystem. The /linuxrc script in the ramdisk is responsible for this, and requires "RAM disk support" and "Initial RAM disk (initrd) support" in the kernel configuration. 2. initramfs - A compressed (optional) cpio archive linked directly into the kernel, or possibly loaded into memory by the boot loader, used to provide early-userspace services. If the initramfs contains /init, it will be executed and is expected to mount the root filesystem, move the system root to it, and execute the real init on the root. If the user doesn't specify an initramfs, the kernel makes a very small one of its own, without the /init. This is the "rootfs" you see in /proc/mounts. #1 you are probably already familiar with...it is the traditional way for loading modules needed for the root filesystem to become available. #2 is fairly recent...but growing in usage. fbsplash uses early-userspace to provide a splash image as soon as the graphics system is initialized in the kernel, for example. Unless you have specified something for "Device Drivers->Block Devices->Initramfs source file" in the kernel configuration, or your "initrd" option to grub/lilo specifies an initramfs, this is not a problem for you. In short, if you don't really know what initramfs is, you are probably not using it! So I am not sure why you are having this problem. Could you double check that /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules contains: # md block devices KERNEL=="md[0-9]*", NAME="md/%n", SYMLINK+="%k", GROUP="disk" Also, do you have any custom rules files in /etc/udev/rules.d? In the maintenance mode, does /sys/block/md0/* exist? What does "cat /proc/mdstat" report? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Can Apache Proxy for a NAT'ed web-server
I'm sure this can be done. I know about mod_proxy and mod_proxy_html and it's functions as a reverse proxy. But the thing is my current understanding of these mod_proxy is it's suitable only for servers which are in the internal network and has names such as www.example.com -> external IP internalserver.example.com -> NAT IP external -> internalserver www.example.com/internalserver (using mod_proxy and mod_proxy_html) what if the NAT IP'ed server has it's own DNS? say www.example2.com. Can apache still be used to get to it? using Mod_proxy? I'm just trying to figure out if this is a valid scenerio. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!

[gentoo-user] Mounting USB Storage Devices
Hi all, I'm running Gentoo 2005.0 with an up-to-date portage tree, and I'm having some trouble getting an external USB harddisk running. My kernel is a 2.6.11-gentoo-r9. I have compiled USB support and SCSI support into the kernel. When I attach the harddisk via USB, the following output is produced in /var/log/messages: Jul 12 23:47:25 genbox usb 1-1.1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6 Jul 12 23:47:25 genbox scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Jul 12 23:47:25 genbox usb-storage: device found at 6 Jul 12 23:47:25 genbox usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: MK4004GAHRev: 0811 Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox usb-storage: device scan complete Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox scsi.agent[8603]: disk at /devices/pci:00/:00:03.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.1/1-1.1:1.0/host2/target2 :0:0/2:0:0:0 Running 'lsusb' gives me the following for device 6: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 2735:1005 'sg_scan' produces the following ouput: /dev/sg0: scsi2 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em] I would think this all looks pretty good, i.e. I would expect to be able to mount the drive by doing something like: mount /dev/sg0 /mnt/usbstorage However, if I try this, mount produces an output saying that the device is not a block device.

[gentoo-user] Packet loss unknown issue
Hello, I'm quite desperate and have tried just about anything to understand my issue. I'll try to explain it... I connect to the net through eth0 and have a masquerading through eth1 to my other computers, using shorewall. My server never had any problems of this kind and all was fine until a couple of days ago. I'm experiencing some heavy packet loss when pinging different hosts. I have isolated the problem (at least I think I did) and got to the conclusion that issuing a simple 'ifconfig eth1 down' and leaving eth0 up, the packet loss vanishes. Tests were made with all services down (shorewall, sshd, apache2, mysqld, proftpd, sendmail, ...) Here are the statistics: - eth1 up - # ping -c 200 google.com --- google.com ping statistics --- 200 packets transmitted, 104 received, 48% packet loss, time 208227ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 152.388/229.520/2016.847/279.805 ms, pipe 3 - eth1 down - ping -c 200 google.com --- google.com ping statistics --- 200 packets transmitted, 200 received, 0% packet loss, time 199175ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 147.197/169.978/193.949/8.384 ms Both network cards are using the same chipset (RLT8139) loaded as a module in the kernel (2.6.11-hardened-r13). I have tried to replace the network card (with one also using RLT8139) and changing it from IRQ but with no effect. Please help me, I've runned out of ideas... Thanks in advance!

As with most other embedded devices, wouldn't these remain fairly static at the OS level? I mean, would you really want to try to debug why (all of a sudden) the remote devices stopped functioning because of an errant package emerge?

Well, I do not think we disagree at all. I'm ramping up to support 5-15 gentoo user systems, to get some experience. My real goal is to learn gentoo at a deeper level. When I roll out a new TCP/IP based data-logger (hopefully this fall) it'll take sensor inputs and control a few outputs. No humans will use the devices for anything other than interfacing sensors and collecting data. The experience I gain form helping kids/adults use Gentoo, will help me manage thousands of dataloggers across public and private networks. Besides if I screw it up, no big deal. They can always use a winblows box until I get it fixed. Strict user control semantics will be used to limit what they can screw up. I'm also using jffnms to update and manage all sorts of routers and industrial contols embedded devices. After some time, I'm sure I'll roll my own solution, but for now, managing Gentoo user systems and customizing JFFNMS for router and other snmp devices is enough of to keep me busy.

Esearch shows only the last version, and doesn't distinguish between hard and keyword masking; perhaps emerge -s is the same.

It's a gentoo box using iptables to act as a router. It talks to an adsl modem connected to ISP which, for the last year now, has not offered similar problems. The configuration would appear to be correct in that manually starting dhcp client results in the network card coming up. The issue, from my perspective, is that some failure is occurring during net.eth0 startup that, because of the various script files involved, hides the component that is actually failing. There's no messages in the syslog nor does dmesg show anything of value. So the recently redone base layout update, where net.eth0 was supposed to become a symlink (etc) somewhere introduced a point of failure. And for all of the pieces involved one of them is crapping out but the failure reason is not getting rolled up to a point where it is made obvious. I'm afraid I'm going to have to dig into /etc/init.d/net.eth0 and try to find how it's actually trying to bring the card up. Gotta love bash debugging! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Then you need to up the interface.

But, I have recomplied the kernel (network devices) and configured both the forcedepth and skge drivers as modules. If I unload the forcedepth or rename so it won't start durning boot, the SKGE driver WILL load and be listed in the lsmod and lspci but does nothing - no dmesg anything! Its almost like the driver sees the device but is waiting on something else to load. There's very little information concerning this device - I'll keep digging. Vernon Ok - I managed to get this working, kind of. I installed a fresh gentoo-sources, selected the forcedepth, skge and the sk98lin drivers as modules. Recompiled and booted. Then I downloaded the http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/htm/sk9elin.htm and ran the install. It did detect the network card!! I configued and rebooted. Both network cards did come up - I assigned different ip address to both cards ( both on the same network - 192.168.1.50 (eth0) and 192.168.1.55(eth1). The odd thing is if I plug in the eth0 card, I can telnet to BOTH ip addresses while eth1 is disconnected. If I disconnect eth0 and connect eth1, I cannot connect to either address.

Sure. It's nothing fancy, but does the job. The biggest headache is the gentoo script developers expectation that the only time you're going to call their script is when you're sitting at a color-supporting terminal.

Source-based distributions IMHO would be a huge pain in the neck for those responsible for a large number of systems. Twer it up to me I'd be using a binary-based distro such as suse or redhat; let them work out the kinks so I wouldn't have to. I prefer running gentoo because I have total control over the box. Downtime at home simply means I can't surf or receive email; it also means that I have some good old down and dirty work ahead to get the box back up, which I enjoy. It's also a hassle that only I have to deal with, not a whole floor of workers sitting idle waiting for the problem to be resolved. But to be an admin over an office full of gentoo systems? Not sure I'd like that or that they would pay me what it would take to keep it functional. Unless, of course, all systems were exactly the same (hardware and software installations) and the users had minimal permissions to the systems (i.e. they could only write files to their home directories and nowhere else on the system, including /tmp & /var/tmp). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I'll take this under consideration. My purpose in extending automated updates, is to be able to manage a large number of embedded gentoo devices in the future. Roll-back and Recovery mechanism will be added later. Besides Gentoo needs to leave the laboratory (purvey of experts) and enter the world of normal humanoids. That will force the Gentoo community to make Gentoo a commodity technology for the world's normal folks.gentoo's destiny in my opinion. Using kids as experiments and developing baseline analysis semantics, is of great fun... (Hell, that's what God gave them to us for: to experiment with them and then explain where dad messed up and dad's newest ideas.) Even their friends like the approach of experimental parenting... Furthermore, as an engineer, I often tell my clients that something works with the children or that children understand the new technology, so maybe management can adapt too...)

In the case of distfiles and sync's, you're still using primary gentoo servers for the first fetch; the cached files are used after that. Basically emerge is going to want a file foo.tar.bz2 to complete an ebuild; it builds a url in the form of http://gentoo.mirror.com/gentoo/ that comes from /etc/make.conf and adds the necessary components "/distfiles/foo.tar.bz2". It then calls wget to retrieve the components. Since the http-replicator proxy is in use, when wget calls through the proxy it will see if foo.tar.bz2 is in the cache; if so it returns the cached copy. If not it is retrieved from the url provided by wget so gentoo.mirror.com is used for the retrieval. For sync the primary server handles the emerge --sync against the official gentoo mirror; internal systems sync against the local server, but the data still originates from the official gentoo mirrors. > I still have to run 'emerge -uD world' on the server/workstation > manually each day? Each system is still administrated as if it is a standalone box; so you can choose to or not to "emerge -uD world" on a system by system basis. My primary rsync/http-replicator server is also my mail server, web server, firewall, etc. I try not to "emerge -uD world" on it until I really have to.

Ah, but how long would it take to test out the new package(s) in the quarantine system? When it's something significant (i.e. pam) are you going to test out every system component using pam before deploying internally? In your case I'd probably ensure the kids logins are typical user logins (no update capability). Run the scripts (or similar scripts) to automate the syncing and reporting. Keep ssh running on their systems. Hold off on updates until they run into something that breaks or until a critical package update is released. Then you can ssh in and emerge stuff until it works. Basically it's a question that even windows folks have to face - is it more important to have a working yet somewhat out of date system or a cutting-edge updated system that can sometimes be unstable? In my home I've chosen to keep my boxen up to date but the kids systems tend to lag well behind the curve. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you are using a 2.6-series kernel, the alsa drivers are part of your *kernel* config, and no additional driver package is necessary to emerge (although some people like to, but that's another story). Alsaconf is part of the alsa-utils package. If you are using the kernel's alsa drivers (which are perfectly adequate), you probably want to emerge all the other packages that are *not* alsa-driver in order to get everything working properly under all circumstances: alsa-lib (required) alsa-headers (probably required) alsa-utils (required) alsa-tools (required) alsa-oss (probably optional) alsa-firmware (probably optional) You might also want a systray applet for the mixer if you're using KDE or GNOME: kamix gamix > > I had installed alsamixer (with -alsa ...) earlier and it loads a blank > interface with no controls at all. > > At this stage I'm doing > # emerge --update --ask --deep --verbose --newuse --tree world > as setting alsa on is asking quite few items to want to recompile. OK, stop where you are. Hands off the 'Enter' key ;-) . First, you need to confirm your kernel config. I'm going to assume that we're going for a standard setup with the kernel modules compiled into the kernel, rather than as loadable nodules. Let's look at the output of lsmod and see what modules are already loaded. You're looking for items that start with snd- and also items that contain i810 But don't worry if you don't see them; statically compiled kernel drivers don't show in this list anyway. But it's a pre-check before we check the kernel itself. Now, you could look at the .config file in a text editor, but ... spare me. Especially if you're a genkernel user, that's even more confusing to figure out. Since I don't know if you are in fact a genkernel user, and I furthermore don't know a thing about genkernel (meaning, I don't know squat about initrds), we're just going to look at the kernel the way I know how to do it cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig NOTE: if you are a genkernel user, you can (apparently) also do genkernel --menuconfig for the same effect, and then you'll still get a new initrd if you make changes (and save them). OK, now that we're in the menuconfig, we want to know the following: 1. Is support for the onboard components of your motherboard compiled into the kernel (I am assuming that the soundcard is enabled in your BIOS, which is necessary for it to work at all)? 2. Is support for a) sound, b) ALSA and c)ALSA OSS emulation available, and if so, as a module or statically? 3. Are the drivers for your particular sound card compiled, and if so, statically or as a module? So check these settings: Device Drivers=>ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support=> AMD and nVidia IDE support Device Drivers=>Character Devices=>NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipset support (these are both to add support for what is *supposed* to be 'other'motherboard resources than onboard sound, but-- since I don't know how motherboards are wired, thus 'what is really connected to what'-- I tend to feel that one wants to confirm any and all 'special' drivers for one's mobo chipset. Besides which, next after sound is all straightened out, you may well want to configure support for 3D hardware accelleration for your video card, in which case you'll be happy to already know whether your mobo's agp support is active or not :-) ). But these are the important ones to check: Device Drivers=>Sound=> Sound card support Device Drivers=>Sound=>ALSA=> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Device Drivers=>Sound=>ALSA=> Sequencer support Device Drivers=>Sound=>ALSA=> OSS Mixer API Device Drivers=>Sound=>ALSA=> OSS PCM (digital audio) API Device Drivers=>Sound=>ALSA=> OSS Sequencer API Device Drivers=>Sound=>ALSA=>PCI devices=>Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD/ALi AC97 Controller These are the 'necessary drivers' for your sound card, and the ALSA/ALSA OSS emulation backend. We can argue for a month as to whether these should be compiled as modules or statically, but I have found with both onboard sound and an external sound card that the following config offers the least issues (* = static, M = module): Sound card support M ALSA * (however, if you want to use the alsa-driver package, this *must* be M, or the emerge will fail) Sequencer support M OSS Mixer API M OSS PCM M OSS Sequencer * (no choice) Actual card driver M If any of these are missing, you'll have to select them, recompile the kernel and reboot to the recompiled kernel.

On my boxen I call 'dailysync.sh' from cron.

The emerge --sync wipes the file out so I have to recreate it before updating eix. And the output from the script goes to a log file rather than stdout/stderr (so when run via cron no email is generated). > OK, now I use document (C) to create the proxy entry on each client: > Editing File: /etc/env.d/99local to look like this > http_proxy="192.168.2.9:8080" > instead of this > http_proxy="proxy.server.com:8080" > > I check it on the client by issuing "echo $http_proxy" > which give the correct results: > 192.168.2.9:8080 > > So far so good??? Hmm, the documentation might have changed since I did my setup. My internal boxes have 'http_proxy=http://192.168.0.1:8084' directly in the make.conf file; I didn't make any changes to /etc/conf.d/local.start for the http proxy. > and last run this daily on the server to keep it current? > emerge -uDva world && repcacheman Well if you have the time and inclination you can do it daily. Once you get into maintaining the system you'll realize that this kind of attention to the box is frequently overkill - a working box is a working box and there is no need to fix what isn't broken. Rather than do this on a daily basis I generate a daily email of packages to be updated; if I see one I feel is critical I'll deal with the update otherwise I'll let the system go for awhile. The script I use for this is: cornholio ~ # cat bin/updatereport.sh #!/bin/sh # # updatereport.sh: Script to send an update report to root. # # # Remove the old report file. # if [ -e /var/log/update.report ] ; then /bin/rm -f /var/log/update.report fi if [ -e /var/log/update.rpt.txt ] ; then /bin/rm -f /var/log/update.rpt.txt fi # # Run the command to generate the output file. # emerge --pretend --update --deep world 1>/var/log/update.report # # Put a standard header at the top of the text file. # echo "Current gentoo update report." > /var/log/update.rpt.txt echo "" >> /var/log/update.rpt.txt date >> /var/log/update.rpt.txt echo "" >> /var/log/update.rpt.txt # # Extract a clean text file # strings /var/log/update.report >> /var/log/update.rpt.txt # # Mail the clean text file. # mail -s "Cornholio Portage Update Report" root < /var/log/update.rpt.txt cornholio ~ # > Anything I missed? Well sure. The part I should have mentioned is that if your systems are all similar in that they have the same hardware and same use flags, package installs, etc., then you might want to have one system build binary packages for distribution to the internal systems. That way you only suffer the build once. Personnaly I've got different architectures (PIII, P4, and AMD) mixed in and, as each system has a different purpose they typically don't have similar use flags or package installations, so a binary package distribution doesn't work for me. > Surely parts of all (4) documents belong in one master howto? I'm sure it could but there's probably folks on the other side of the fence that only want a local rsync mirror or a local portage download cache and not both. > Is there a script to update workstation systems, automatically, > say 10 minutes after booting? How best to do this? Sure. Generate a script that sleeps for 10 minutes then kicks off the emerge process. Call the script from /etc/conf.d/local.start (be sure to include the & to spawn it in the background) and you're golden. However, you need to consider if this is something that you really want to do. Automated updates are frowned upon by folks on the list. I tend to stagger my system emerges because I use distcc. The individual boxes have a smaller time impact handling the package recompiles. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Initially dmesg was showing that ifconfig was failing due to some SMP issue so I updated the kernel to 2.6.12.2 and installed and this failure went away. But now any boot results in the dhcp starting for eth0 but then failing completely. When the system comes up I can log in as root and manually start eth0 by running the dhcp command as /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start should be trying to do (although I can't tell that it is doing as I suspect). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] problem with raid1: error while booting
Hi, I'm trying to install gentoo on a small server in full sw-raid1 setup, using info in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-tipsntricks.xml I have a similar setup with /boot / and swap on md. After creating md's I continued with installation using info in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.0/index.xml I recompilled kernel with md-support (no modules), installed boot-loader (lilo, on /dev/md0), created /etc/fstab, emerged mdadm, etc, etc... Everything was OK until 10.d: Rebooting the System When booting into new system (this time from disks, not from installation cd), I got following messages: - ... ... * mounting sysfs at sys ... can't create lock file /etc/mtab1008: Read only file-system (use -n flag to override) [!!] .. * checking root filesystem ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/md1 is mounted fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/md1 /dev/md1: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem.
