Re: [gentoo-user] Re: python-2.7 update: re-emerge of cracklib failed, how can I fix it?
Apparently, both methods work. But I agree your way is easier...
BTW, when we are at the subject, is it possible to switch to python 3.x,
and get rid of python 2.x completely? I noticed there are still both versions
of python installed: 2.7.1 and 3.1.3...

Re: [gentoo-user] How can I find all "orphaned" files?

Oh, thanks, now it is clear. I think man-page is a little confusing:
"qfile -o" does not find orphan files, it only checkes if the given file
is orphan, or not. But first I have to prepare a list of files which
will be used as arguments for "qfile"...

Re: [gentoo-user] the best filesystem for server: XFS or JFS (or?)

Knowing nothing about "barriers" I tried to find some info and came accross this article: http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/tip/Deciding-when-to-use-Linux-file-system-barriers It says, barriers can not work with device mapper (raid, lvm). If it is true (?) then because of having all partitions in raid1 (md), I need not worry about barriers. Whatever filesystem I picked out, I could not use barriers... Jarry
Re: [gentoo-user] the best filesystem for server: XFS or JFS (or?)
Thanks for replies. As I had expected, they brought even more uncertainty then I had before... :-) ext3/4: I excluded them because as I understand, they do not support snapshots (only with lvm, which I do not use, and I've hreard snapshots in lvm are not very effective, or something like that). Next minus-point, I tried resizing of ext3/lvm once in the past and remember it was a real pain in a**... reiserfs/reiser4: Future of these fs seems to be somehow vague, at least to me. And I do not know if it can handle snaphosts and resizing. xfs & power-off: I have always thought, journaling is there to prevent data loss during unexpected power-off. And now I read I could loose data even with journaled fs...? jfs & power-off: the same. How is it possible, I could loose data with such a mature journaled filesystem during power-off? btrfs: never heard of it. Is it stable enough to be used? I just checkt man-page of "mount", and it does not show btrfs as supported filesystem... Jarry
Re: [gentoo-user] SPF & sendmail: howto?

For ~10 years I've been a satisfied sendmail-user. Does it count for a legitimate reason?

Thanks, but I'd prefer to stick with sendmail till the end of its days. Or at least till the first usable sendmailX/MeTA1, whatever comes first...

I will try to make an ebuild. Maybe there are still more "real unix admins" using old'n'good sendmail. But no flame over "which MTA is better", please. (anyway, we all know Sendmail is the best! :-) Jarry
