I remember reading about problems with some of those. It works in Windows with the factory partition/FAT tables because of tricks they do to the addressing that works in Windows, but once you reformat it you can't access the 2TB areas. Something like that... As far as I recall, you could repartition to create a 2TB or smaller partition and that would work, but then the rest of the drive was inaccessible. So on returning to this machine, I see that another USB disk that I have connected to it is also having those messages printed about it. This leads me to suspect that it's either an ext4 bug or the situation that you mentioned above. Both are Western Digital 2TB disks; 1058:1130 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. 1058:1021 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. Elements 2TB There are 42 messages in quick succession for each disk, appearing to cycle through the same list of blocks twice. I'll attach the messages. I'm inclined towards the bad-usb-firmware idea - do you have a link to where you read about the 2TB partition problem ? I don't have much time to deal with this at the moment, so I think that I'll just power them down and wait until I do. The problem I was referring to was for drives LARGER than 2TB (I think the real limit hits somewhere around 2.1 or 2.2TB). So if your drives are 2TB then I don't think it's that problem. I use a 2TB external USB drive myself (LaCie brand, with a pair of spanned 1TB Samsung disks inside), formatted as ext4, and it works fine. However, that was not always the case. I had to replace the USB cable after I suffered a lot of corruption and random USB disconnects. Later on, the drive started going offline and making the click of death, and eventually failed to start up. It turned out to be a faulty power supply. They sent me a replacement free of charge, despite the drive being out of warranty, and it worked perfectly fine with the new power supply. And it has worked fine ever since. Actually, a bit more triage shows that these errors are triggered on mount, and only when using pmount. Mounting manually as root doesn't trigger them. I'll have another look through my logs to see if they've happened at other times, but for the moment I'll stop using pmount and see if it reoccurs.

(There was a nice howto on this ML some months ago). You could try that, which will free those inodes up and ideally leaves you with one used inode for the squashfs image. Plus, if you have enough RAM, you could put /var/tmp/portage into tmpfs. I have 3GB, and this is fairly enough. For other hogs like firefox, LO and java, I use binary packages though. For comparision, I too have one (seldom two) kernel source trees and everything else on / except /home. And while of the 17GB capacity barely 1GB is left free, I still have 480k inodes free of the 1M in total. (I figured that I may have more space for content if I reserved less for inodes). I had portage in a squashfs before too - that was nice :) That's also the reason I had /usr/portage /var/cache/edb and /var/db/pkg on one filesystem - all together in the squashfs :) Because one day my / became full I moved /usr/src onto that partition too (it was now on a reiser3fs). All fine, and other partitions less fragmented... until I moved to ext4. Now I have a SSD, and it's simpler than squashfs'ing and still fast. distfiles is on a HDD (Thinkpad notebook with ultrabay - love it) and compilation on tmpfs (8GB RAM, so no problems). I always have like 8 kernel trees lying around, so there are already like 400k files... For various reasons I like to keep my stuff on separate partitions - my system is distributed over 6 partitions and my personal data over 3 partitions :) That inode-trouble was actually quiet interesting ;) Daniel -- PGP key @ http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de/pks/lookup?search=0xBB9D4887op=get # gpg --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net 0xBB9D4887 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

[gentoo-user] Two issues with OpenRC/baselayout2 migration on a hosted VM
Hello, This is my first time dealing with a VM, and this one is being hosted on Linode... I'm fairly sure they use XenServer, but I'm still waiting for confirmation... 2 issues I have after updating: 1. First question Quoting from the Guide: local.start and local.stop With OpenRC, /etc/conf.d/local.start and local.stop are deprecated. During the migration to OpenRC, the files are moved to /etc/local.d and gain the suffix .start or .stop. OpenRC then executes those in alphabetic order. Problem - on this VM, these files are named 'baselayout1.start' and 'baselayout1.stop', NOT 'local.start' and 'local.stop'... Should I change these? Does it matter? 2. Second question Quoting from the Guide: System sub-types: Virtualization special cases In the early versions of OpenRC, we explictly detected multiple types of virtualization, and used that detection to note when certain init scripts should be skipped, using the keyword call in the depend functions. However, as of the 0.7.0 release, you are required to explicitly configure the sub-type using the rc_sys variable in /etc/rc.conf. The sub-type should be set to match the virtualization environment that the given root is in. In general, the non-empty rc_sys value should be within the virtual containers; The host node will have rc_sys=. Important: If you do not have any specific sub-type, please use the default of an empty string . If the variable is unset, you will be given a warning and we will attempt to use the old detection algorithm. Note: If you do not know what value your system was using with the automatic detection, you should temporarily comment out the rc_sys variable and run the detection command, rc -S. Currently this is set to , but according to the guide, since this is a VM, it needs to be explicitly set. rc -S simply reports: li66-207 etc # rc -S * WARNING: rc_sys not defined in rc.conf. Falling back to automatic detection What should I set this to? Assuming that Linode is indeed using Xen, would it be: rc_sys=xenU ? Thanks, Charles

[gentoo-user] texlive 2011
After realizing that most packages I was installing, I used package.keywords and ~amd64, so I went ahead and jumped---I have started using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS for ~amd64 in /etc/make.conf . I think most of the inconsistencies have been ironed out, but it has taken some days. One glaring problem involves ruby. I need texlive, and I want to install texlive 2011, and I had installed it; however, now ruby is standing in my way. On bugs.gentoo.org, I see some solutions, involving patches. One is a patch for ruby (dev-lang/ruby-1.8.7_p352 ). The other is a patch for glibc 2.14.1 . I'm not sure how to handle this, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to mess around with a personal overlay of glibc. Now, unfortunately, after an emerge -avuD world, I have also run emerge --depclean, which cleared out every package involved with texlive. I think texlive-pictures-2011 and texlive-science-2001, possible also others, are depending on ruby. I could also not find an accessible and up to date explanation of installing texlive. Can any one guide me towards understanding how to proceed? I would rather not spend the next week re-installing my system. Perhaps I should back out of ~amd64 to amd64? Thanks, Alan Davis

The names doesn't matter. Only the extension matters. You can even
rename them to MickeyMouse.start and MinnieMouse.stop :-)
Ok, thanks, renamed to local.start/stop...
The files were named local.{start,stop} but the message you quoted shows
that these are no longer the case. The files you have are your old
baselayout1 local.* files moved from conf.d to local.d and given a name
that shows where they came from. The local part of the filename is no
longer relevant as the directory name makes their purpose clear. Also, it
means you can have more than one file, instead of having to cram several
unrelated steps into one script.
Give them names that reflect their contents, it will make managing them
easier.

Yes, but - I'm no longer on baselayout1, so that name is no longer
accurate...

The name is accurate because it is telling you the file came from
baselayout1. The local.{start,stop} names are the deprecated names used
by BL1. Until you give them more meaningful names (which local.* are not)
baselayout1.* are the best names portage can give them for you.

[gentoo-user] Need help getting portage to email me emerge logs using ssmtp...
Hi all,
Ok, this is also on this new hosted VM...
I need help getting portage to email me emerge logs using SASL auth on a
remote host using ssmtp...
I found this thread that has me almost there (I think):
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/user/217567?do=post_view_threaded#217567
But it doesn't seem to be using SASL auth, because the attempt is being
blocked by my server client_access rule (which comes *after*
permit_sasl_authenticated)...
Here's what I have in make.conf (after reading the above thread):
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI=root@user:password mail.myserver.com:100587
and in ssmtpd.conf:
root=postmaster
mailhub=mail.myserver.com:587
AuthUser=username
AuthPass=password
UseSTARTTLS=YES
And here is the error I'm currently getting:
!!! An error occurred while trying to send logmail:
{'root@username:password': (554, '5.7.1
li66-207.members.linode.com[74.207.224.207]: Client host rejected:
Access denied')}
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Charles
Re: [gentoo-user] Need help getting portage to email me emerge logs using ssmtp...
i would first of all suggest dropping ssmtp and going with nullmailer. if ssmtp fails for any reason it will lose your emails. nullmailer has queue capability.

[gentoo-user] Card is Radeon R200, but Mesa builds Gallium R300; HELP!
Now what? Ignore what you see on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml and http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml about an ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] not needing a binary blob. It does require the R200 blob from radeon-ucode. If the blob isn't there, the bootup will delay for a minute, time out, and then continue. If the R200 blob is in /lib/firmware/radeon, it'll load, regardles of what i put in the kernel setup; e.g. [d530][root][~] dmesg | grep R200 [0.277947] [drm] Loading R200 Microcode notwitstanding that the kernel is set up like so... [d530][root][~] zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i r300 CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=radeon/R300_cp.bin The question is... how do I force Mesa (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so [ 682.172] (EE) AIGLX error: Calling driver entry point failed [ 682.172] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering waltdnes@d531 ~ $ diff d530.txt d531.txt 5,8c5,8 model name : Genuine Intel(R) CPU2140 @ 1.60GHz stepping: 2 cpu MHz : 1596.157 cache size : 1024 KB --- model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz stepping: 13 cpu MHz : 2400.000 cache size : 2048 KB 27c27 bogomips: 3191.35 --- bogomips: 4788.02 31a32 -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org
[gentoo-user] Who can tell me relationship among dri,glx,mesa,xorg?
Now I'm totally confused, I can't find helpful information from Internet. I know mesa is a open source implementation of OpenGL, obviously mesa will afford OpenGL API. DRI is short for Direct Rendering Infrastructure, I have chosen options like: Device Drivers --- Graphics support --- * Direct Rendering Manager --- *ATI Radeon [*] Enable modesetting on radeon by default Does this mean that DRI libraries are built into kernel? If not, who contains DRI? Also who affords GLX libraries? Mesa or Xorg?
[gentoo-user] Please ignore above email; I hit send by mistake
On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 01:12:10AM -0500, Walter Dnes wrote Please ignore the above email. I hit send by mistake. Long story short... the R200 is not supported under Mesa Gallium. So a glxgears rating of 262 fps with the ATI Radeon R200 card gives stuttering useless streaming video while the onboard Intel GPU is OK, even though it gives 60 fps under glxgears. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org
