 Yes, it is mission critical, as critical as if data is not available,

 But it is not on RAID0, as I said experimented for the example
 shake.

OK.  I get it.

  So in theory it appears like expanding the array with new disks
  works, with no data loss and you require a reboot into Linux. My
  OS was RHEL 4.0 ES
 
  The reboot in your case was necessary since you were adding the
  disk to a hardware RAID system which needed to rebuild the raid
  array.

 if I am not wrong the disk is already added into the array while the
 system was online, the moment you add the disk, array expansion
 started stating - expanding.

 It the scsi kernel module which required to be reloaded.

OK, glanced through your OP.  Is the module part of standard Linux 
kernel or a binary blob supplied by HP?   I don't know much about the 
behaviour of the HP driver.  To the best of my understanding, one just 
needs to give time to complete the expansion and then it should be 
useable.

  if you have spare disk partitions you can add them to an LVM w/o
  rebooting, you may have to go into single user mode though.

 single user mode -- to add the partition into LVM?


No, not to add partitions to the LVM but to resize the fs after the LVM 
is expanded.  As a standard practice I use single user mode or LiveCD 
(e.g. Knoppix) whenever I am messing around with disk partitions, LVMs, 
fs resize.

Look up how to set up a transparent proxy. That's probably your best solution.

If this is for just one machine then why not define local network in
your browser. Normally all browsers allow for local networks to be
accessed without going through proxy. Firefox does this under
Edit-Preferences-Advanced-Network-Settings

In the field No proxy for: define your local machines or network

Hey,

Its not at all a problem if u loose a password. U cant retrieve it ..thats
for sure because its encrypted by a Trap-Door Algorithm which is one-way
encryption. but u can always change it.
Wat u can do is ..in ur grub menu while booting .before u boot into linux
press 'e'. to edit the menu. In the boot sequence first line u append
init=/bin/sh
then u boot.! after u r in , u get a prompt like sh#
there u write
# mount -o remount -n /
u then give the passwd command..like
# passwd
simply change ur password by giving new one.

Another trick is ..!
when u get sh# prompt ..simply in next prompt do # vim /etc/passwd
n from the first line ...erase the 'x' beside root.! ur root is passwrodless
now..!

You should append 1 to the end of your kernel boot line in the grub 
menu. 1 is single user mode (run level 1 ) and will boot you directly 
into a root shell. You can then use passwd to change your password. Then 
reboot or type init 5 and you system should come fully up.

[ilugd] Unrestricted Internet telephony?

2008-08-18 Thread Raj Mathur
Wow, looks like all those crappy restrictions on Internet Telephony 
(VoIP) are being done away with in on fell stroke!  Now TRAI is 
recommending that any ISP be allowed to provide VoIP services and the 
air gap between VoIP and PSTN equipment is not mandatory anymore.

I'm wondering, is this (at least in part) motivated by GoI not having 
the capability to monitor existing VoIP services like Skype, Yahoo, 
etc.?  Note that call interception equipment is a requirement for 
ISPs :)

Unfortunately not, unless you happen to be an ISP :(  Confirm with your
