 (4th comment, root NOT on raid but booting into initramfs)
 How have others Linux RAID experience in recent Linux distros  been?

created raid1, hdd-crashed, failed the bad disk, array running in degraded mode.

I can't recall clearly if Feisty busyboxed me when I rebooted after
the hdd-crash. The behaviour documented in the bug seems to be crazy
from the point of view of people who do not have KVM / physical access
to their servers. I would be interested in knowing when this bug
manifested itself for the first time, maybe we should pin mdadm to the
last sane version, until this gets resolved.

Kenneth,

Please do NOT abuse the Wiki culture by asking questions and raising 
issues through public Wiki document editing.  If you have questions, 
raise them in the appropriate forum (either of the mailing lists this 
is CCed to).  If you want to amend something in the document, just 
amend it (and let someone else un-amend if if s/he feels fit), or send 
a mail to either of these lists asking for amendment.

In any case, defacing a document meant for public consumption is an act 
of vandalism.  Since I'm guessing vandalism wasn't your intent, I'm 
letting it pass this time.  The next time this happens I shall 
definitely don my ``heavy-handed suppression'' hat (aka grabbing the 
LART-stick) and push strongly for your registration on the ILUGD and 
Freed.in Wikis to be revoked.

 I have been having some terrible time with Linux RAID recently on
 Ubuntu. I dont like major changes being done on such critical components
 without testing.

 Now I am having serious doubts on using RAID on Ubuntu atleast, and am
 thinking of moving the server to either Debian or better still
 FreeBSD(better because I suspect the Ubuntu issues might have some
 influence from changes in Debian unstable).

 How have others Linux RAID experience in recent Linux distros  been?


Running raid1 on Debian unstable for past 4 months.  No issues.  Worst
I have had to face was a general system slowdown for sometime after
some power failures while the array synced.

Running a server with Debian Etch (stable) with 15 RAID-5 volumes with 6 
partitions in each volume + 2 RAID-1 volumes for the past 3 months.  No 
issues so far.

Of course, this isn't counting the thousands (OK, I exaggerate -- 
hundreds ;) of client machines I have scattered over the world with 
Debian and RAID-1, some running for over 3 years with that 
configuration.

Blame Ubuntu if you like, but Debian certainly doesn't seem to have any 
issues with software RAID.

[ilugd] GNOME Desktop File Appearance

2008-01-04 Thread Vijay Thakur
Dear Exoperts,

i am using Opensuse 10.3 Gnome Desktop.  Whenever i save any openoffice writer, 
impress,spreadsheet or mpeg,jpeg file on the desktop, this is showing the the 
very big picture of that file or text of the file.  Which is giving a very ugly 
look to the desktop.  Just tell me that what settings are required to change 
this view.

Probably something to do with the automatic preview settings.  Not a 
Gnome user, but at a guess I'd say edit the generic mime type 
properties for the files you don't want the preview of.
