On one occasion I lost most of an ext3 file system, so I went back to reiserfs and no more problems. I have lost small areas of data with reiserfs (nothing recent though - very stable), but on ext3 Ive lost whole systems (desktops, and the laptop mentioned above). I'm a bit late joining the discussion but in my experience I would say I had problems with reiserfs about 50% of the time spread over the last six years or so. Most of the problems were the result of power failures but I had all sorts of strange things happen like /etc/X11/X11.conf being replaced with /etc/profile or some such nonsense. Data loss happened occasionally as well. I ended up creating a cronjob that ran sync every five minutes and that pretty much put a stop to the problems.. Now I avoid using reiserfs although I do use reiser4 for a squid cache and there does seem to be a noticable speed improvement. Otherwise I'm slowly moving everything over to jfs. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] AIGLX responseness (WAS: libGL issues & AIGLX slowness)
Hi list, the slowness of AIGLX was due to the fact that i was running xorg-server without enabling the aiglx flag. After having enabled it xorg started running with AIGLX (using compiz or beryl). Although the system is quite usable there is still an issue: i thought the system would have relied completely on video card acceleration. However whenever i run an AIGLX effect such as the cube or just window moving the CPU goes up to 80-90% during all the time the effect is running. This behaviour makes the system A LOT less responsive than it is without AIGLX. Is this a known issue? Thanks a lot, MC -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] the most secure shared network system? Coda/NFSv4/others?
Hello. My purpose of using a network file system is to back up my web server. For some special reason the backup application I am using need to directly access a mounted network file system rather then using a SSH connection. For me, security is the biggest concern. The backup script should be able to connect to web server through encrypted TCP connection. Other features like being robust, being able to handle 1000 connections, local cache, offline, flexible ACL ... are not important. In my case, what is the best network file system for me? NFSv4 can use TCP, however I cannot find crypto information about NFSv4, but I do find some info about encrypted RPC on google, probably that means if I use encrypted RPC then I got encrypted NFS? A small advantage of NFS over coda is that I already used NFS for years (is familiar with that). Also NFS has no status, that is, I can mount once, backup every night; if the office network is down and back, as long as it's not down during backup, I don't have to re-connect (re-mount). Our office network gets down and back automatically once several days, it's impossible to maintain a TCP connection for days. Coda seems to be the best choice because articles on the web suggested this file system is created "with security in mind". But I never know any person using this in real life (not used widely) and is not familiar with it, thus I must ask for advice on this list. signature.asc Description: 这是信件的数 字签名部分

So I let it go :-( [SNIP] Ugh..! You've got this completely wrong. As of >=portage-2.1.1 `emerge --depclean` is quite safe (yet you still need to use --ask or --pretend as with any other emerge operation!) and it has always taken the use flags into account. I've never said anything about the reliability of `dep -d` (as I've never tried it and don't plan to try it either) and I think your experience goes to show that it is far from as safe as `emerge --depclean`. I'm pretty sure that `emerge --depclean` would never remove gcc... `equery depends` is what I've said doesn't take your use flags into account (and it doesn't). This means that if `equery depends` says foo doesn't need bar then foo doesn't need bar. But if it says foo needs bar then there is the possibility that due to the state of some use flag foo doesn't need bar on your system... That is entirely unrelated to the reliability of `emerge --depclean`. This only relates to querying for reverse dependencies with equery. And for querying for reverse dependencies `dep -L` is quite reliable. As is pquery from pkgcore and adjutrix from paludis. That says nothing about the reliability of `dep -d`, `dep -w` or `dep -s` etc. I don't know if either of those other options for dep are reliable or not (and quite frankly I don't care as I don't need them). IMO `emerge --depclean` is doing and excellent job! -- Bo Andresen pgpw9uJvImnYO.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hope that you get a more useful response FWIW, I Had precisely these symptoms on my Sony 2200 laptop - and can't tell you why - but it is rock sold now. I think there were two things going on: 1. This might be a "kill" switch? Some of my problems were certainly due to the kill switch. I finally noticed that the little wireless LEDs were off. I had turned them off while using the windows OS - given that it is susceptable to the wonderful new driver attacks - and had failed to turn it on when booting up hardened Linux (which I believe is NOT susectable to the driver buffer overflows). 2. I also suggest a step by step walk-through of the following page (check your kernel config). http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_ipw2200 P.S.

Re: [gentoo-user] BIG reiserfs problem
Dude - I use xfs w/o a UPS for desktops and laptops. I use it on servers with RAID and with UPS protection. I also keep good backups for the servers. I have been using XFS since _just_ _after_ it came to Linux. I have used XFS on several hundred systems (which I have been responsible for). I have, to date, lost two filesystems. a. 2000 - I lost a filesystem when I was running a CVS kernel. *hhahaha* yeah, it was ugly, during the 2.4 kernel of pain days. b. 2006 - hardware slowly corrupted an FS. Some files wouldn't read, and we had wierd problems, (but good backups). After firmware updates problems got stranger, and xfs_repair finished the job. I blame the hardware. I have read the list, and seen the problems. I don' t know what I do that makes XFS succeed, but It really does work well. The first filesystem I ever tried with JFS failed. I had weird errors, and strange messages. I tried the repair tools, but they crashed. Then, I posted to the LKML. No one replied, or was interested. I left JFS, and returned to XFS. I have run into a few strange bugs with XFS, but in every case I found the mailing list and IRC very responsive and I was able to return the servers to operation. Twice those have been caused by either 2.4 or XFS. Once or twice it was several compound power outages. What really kills XFS is _NOT_ power outages - it is out-of-order commits. When the drives re-order the commits, it really can f-up the drive. The data portion of the disk is updated and the journal isn't. Then, if you have a crash, you are in some pretty sh*t. That's why write barriers are so important. Use what you want, but don't misunderstand XFS - as many people here clearly do. It's a good FS, but it is sensitive to hardware problems. By problems I mean: dying disks (which will kill anyone), faulty commit order for data vs. journal (which probably affects all of the journaling FSs as well), silent corruption, faulty RAM, and last but not least DMA problems. If you have a drive that commits out of order, and you are prone to power problems: USE EXT2 - it is , bar none, the SAFEST filesystem in that case. I do use it on a couple systems with those exact problems. (And a couple of low-memory systems, journalling sucks up resources). I have not lost an ext2 fs yet in either of those cases. Sure, the systems occasionally experience some meessed up files, but never the whole FS, and replacing a library or binary is /not/ /that/ /tough/.

Well, I ran it then and didn't lose data or filesystems (very lucky), but I switched to JFS because it was far faster on many things on my system (such as deleting large numbers of files).

I agree with this statement 'cause what I use xmms for I can't do in amarok, and that is to play 'mod' files. I took someone's suggestion and tried 'audacious'. This was because the package database said something about a 'pending removal' which I interpreted to mean that xmms was being removed from the package database. Despite the fact that I built audacious with 'modplug', which I assumed (maybe wrongly) had something to do with playing 'mod' files, I couldn't get it to play mod files. So, I removed 'audacious' and reinstalled xmms. I unmasked (by commenting the line out) xmms-1.2.10-r15, which is what I had been using since approximately mid-August, with no problems with what I use it for. Granted, this version was masked by ~x86 keyword when I originally installed it in August. Anyway, with respect to the subject line, if my interpretation is correct and xmms is being removed from the package list, what can I use to play 'mod' files?

Re: [gentoo-user] BIG reiserfs problem
Yeah, I will try JFS again some day. Not today, but someday. XFS slow deletion is my personal pet peeve. I have been using XFS for so long, so successfully, that I am hesitant to change. Plus, I have a large number of existing installs. Last year, I setup a JFS system on a dual-opteron. I have no idea what went wrong, but binaries wouldn't load, shit would crash, sig 11, etc, etc, etc. Finally, with now clue what was up, I reinstalled using XFS. There are a number of significant differences. I am not /blaming/ JFS, all I can say, it yet another JFS attempt went bad for me. So, XFS works, and I keep using it. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] How to troubleshoot ISP connection
Hi All, I find myself in Geneva for the weekend, where I am using a WiFi connection. The ISP is bluewin.ch and the speed is quite low. On average I have seen max download speeds of 448Kbps, while a stream download from e.g. apple trailers soon settles down to around 93kbps. Trying to emerge fails to establish an rsync connection. Trying to stream internet radio fails every time and as if this wasn't bad I cannot connect to www.britishairways.com to book online for my return flight!

[gentoo-user] Can MAKEOPTS be changed on per package basis?
Howdy,
I was installing djmount (from b.g.o.) and it kept failing. Looked like
a parallelization issue, so tried changing MAKEOPTS from -j2 to -j1,
which let the package compile. I'm running a hypterthreaded P4 and
this is the first package to have problems with -j2 in over a year.
Is there anyway to specify a MAKEOPTS on a per package basis?
TIA,
Roy

[gentoo-user] Re: Grub problems
I am trying to bring up a new Linux unit (my old desktop died on Thursday). My hardware is an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard, running an Athlon X2 3800+ Dual core processor. I have a serial ATA 250GB hard drive which I am attempting to install my OS into. The hard drive maps in the bios to SATA4, and maps within Linux to /dev/sda. I also have two other parallel IDE dard drives, connected via a raid controller (though not configured for RAID) to Drive numbers 0 and 3 on the RAID controller. These drives map to hde and hdh respectively, with a DVD writer mapping to both /dev/hda and /dev/dvdrw. The bios is configured to boot first from the DVD (primary IDE master) then from the 250GB SATA hard drive. swapspace is on /dev/sda2, /boot is on /dev/sda1, and root is on /dev/sda6 I am running genkernel After I configure grub, and install grub to the mbr using grub-install, the reboot fails, with GRUB doing nothing but display the text 'GRUB'. Evidently, either I am doing something wrong at the grub-install stage, or there is a problem with grub. I have had a similar lack of success with Fedora Core 6 and Mandriva installs (same problem). The boot partition is an ext3 filesystem My grub.conf file is as follows: default=0 timeout=30 splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.17-r8 root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2,6,17-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda6 udev vga=0x318 video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap doscsi initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 When I run grub-install /dev/sda, it reports no errors.

[gentoo-user] Problems with usbnet
Hi!I want to connect my xda 3 to my gentoo box. I have familiar (GPE) on the xda. I found that I need usbnet for connecting. I tried to compile my kernel with usbnet support but when I try # modprobe usbnet I get:FATAL: Error inserting usbnet (/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r9/kernel/drivers/usb/net/usbnet.ko): Invalid module formatWhat does this mean and what to do?

I just let it compile with the defaults and/or what was in make.conf. Anyway, now I'm happy. No xmms, but I can play my mod files. Only complaint I have is that I liked the blur-scope visualization which I got from xmms. Funny think is according to package.mask, xmms-blur-scope isn't even dependent on xmms. Thanks again.

Re: [gentoo-user] Grub problems
Unfortunately, no prompt appears. It just hangs at the boot-up screen, repeatedly adding 'GRUB' to the top line of text. I tried installing Mandriva Linux 2007 using Lilo in text form, and that also failed (repeatedly adding '99' to the top line on the screen. It also crashed when I tried to install an old Windoze 98 SE installation, hanging at the point at which it tried to format the drive for the OS. I'm going to borrow a Windows 2000 or XP OS and see if that will install.

There is some more message in terminal now: ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) ** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1) ** Message: plugin_get_value 2 (2) I guess during the 10 minutes,firefox was checking the plugins. But the time is too long and there is no any tips! ? -- Bo Andresen -- wcw -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Why does it happen? Isn't XFS journaled? Yes it is journaled but it also allows data to be very aggressively cached. Make that VERY aggressively cached. With the result that data can be held in a huge cache somewhere and the kernel can be convinced it has been written to disk. Consider XFS's pedigree - SGI wrote it for their graphics machines. These were big monsters backed up with high grade UPSs and such - the logic was that if you spend a brazillion bucks on hardware, a mega UPS is part of the deal, along with the wages to pay the army of admins you also need. And, when doing video rendering, it turns out that it's easier to simply re-render a frame when the filesystems does something odd with the data rather than go to the effort of writing an FS that is 100% reliable. So SGI sacrificed something that doesn't actually matter for their use case to gain a significant performace increase (which does matter a great deal) alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] The current flash beta and freezes
I have done some searches and cannot find anyone else with a problem like me. Basically when ever I try to use the new flash beta it will work for 1 to 10 minutes on various sites and then just stop. The system does not hang the processor usage remains normal. Whatever I was playing with the player just stops. The other flash controls around it still work. For example, at pandora.com, it would play several songs and then stop all of a sudden in the middle of a song. I could skip to the next song but it would not play and all of the controls in the player still work. Does anyone have a suggestion to make it work. When the beta is working it is much better than version 7. Thanks, Andrew PS yes i know it is unstable and I am playing with closed source beta software, so that probably means that I am killing kittens. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Your average psu uses around 5000 - 15000 uF caps on the mains side. That lasts about 3 mains cycles. I suppose you *could* rig up a 25F array but the caps will cost more than an average desktop machine (!) Batteries = much cheaper. The main reasons no vendor builds a UPS into the power supply: 1. Weight 2. Extra cost 3. Lead/acid battery = presence of sulphuric acid = bad news for motherboards alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
