I don't know which distribution you are using but on Fedora I do the following: 1.

Just for information sake I bought a Linksys WRT54GL wifi router recently and would recommend anyone who is looking to purchase a new router for SOHO use to go for it. Other than the fact that it boldly says open source inside and actually running a Linux kernel I am currently using it for the following setup. 1. One VOIP phone wired connection. 2. One work laptop wired connection running VPN 3. Laptop on wifi running skype, bittorrent and usual surfing. I am basically using the advanced QOS feature of DD-WRT which is the opensource firmware I have flashed the router with. The basic priority list is as follows: 1. MAC priority premium to VOIP phone 2. MAC priority express to office laptop 3. Bittorent traffic bulk priority 4. HTTP/HTTPS with standard priority Therefore I have actually called people to solve work related problems on the VOIP phone while working on the office laptop while my bittorrent download was going on with no bandwidth throttling configured on the application level. To compare I had initially run the router with the original Linksys firmware and I found that no amount of tweaking the parameters could stop my bittorrent traffic to not gobble up all the bandwidth.

Re: [ilugd] Repartioning LVM and installing windows

I also see another problem - you have only one partition which is completely dedicated to the LVM installation. A better way out is usually to create lots of small partitions and then setup LVM over it. It wont help your current situation but for future reference - what I did was created 10 partitions of 4GB each and merged them under LVM. This way I can always pull out any partition if I need it for non LVM use later without having any headache. Mithun __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I believe there is something we can do with the below commands [EMAIL PROTECTED] simon]# man lvresize [EMAIL PROTECTED] simon]# man dmsetup As i don't have a seperate media to take the back up and repartition the hardisk to install windows, i can not take the risk of loosing data by using above commands and hence looking for the expert advice. To begin with I would recommend you read the LVM howto http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ being a good starting point. Next to summarize there are three major sections in a LVM namely extents, volumes and volume groups. To understand them more clearly you could think of Physical volumes as hard disk or a software raid device, logical volumes would be equivalent to a partition on that device. These volumes would be internally split into chunks of data which would be called physical or logical extent depending upon what type of volume you are splitting. Using these volumes you create Volume groups which is where you start looking at it from outside the LVM therefore your filesystem sits on the volume group. Any resize activity you do should be supported by the volume group and the filesystem sitting on it and everything else will happen transparently. Now to free space from LVM and have it usable for Windows you need to have a logical volume freed from LVM. If you dont need to pass the whole space to Windows you could ofcourse resize the partition and put part of it back into the LVM. Therefore to resize (shorten) a filesystem on LVM you need to do the following 1. Run pvdisplay on the partition or device you wish to remove and confirm it is not being used (check for Free PE). If it has data in it - you need to have spare space in other extents in the VolGroup and then run pvmove. 2. unmount the filesystem 3. Resize the filesystem 4. Run vgreduce to remove the volume from the volume group. 5. Mount the filesystem on the updated volume group. I would recommend you read the HOWTO thoroughly and understand the commands I have mentioned. Since I donot know the structure underneath your volume group and since I dont want you to blindly copy my instructions I have not mentioned the exact syntax to use. I do believe I have mentioned all the steps but dont blame me if I missed any step - it is your data after all :). Mithun __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Do a 'cat /proc/mdstatus' and check whether md still thinks you have two hard disk in the raid setup. 2. Assuming it shows three or more hard disk with one in failed status. Run 'mdadm /dev/md0 -r /dev/hdd1' which should remove the failed device from the RAID array. 3. Run 'mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/hdd1' which should add the new hard disk back into the array. 4. Regularly check the output of 'cat /proc/mdstatus' to see the Raid array being recreated. If possible try not to shutdown the server till the array is recreated. Following command might be helpful 'watch -n 10 cat /proc/mdstatus' 5. RAID devices dont necessarily have a filesystem therefore you can't mount the device/array itself. Assuming your filesystem didnt get wiped out you should not have to mount anything. RAID will recover itself and become healthy in the background without your intervention. Ofcourse system performance would go for a toss meanwhile. Do note I have made assumptions as to what your devices and raid setup are.

Firstly put it under /etc/fstab - you have better control over the mounting and unmounting process including unmounting shares while shuttign down. Secondly I think your problem stems from the fact that smbfs like nfs will retry indefinitely if a share becomes unavilable - this can have serious implications on the server. The way around is to understand how the hard and soft mount options works. Read the details under the nfs section in mount and decide which one is more important.

Re: [ilugd] Publishing UTF-8 encoded multilingual XHTML documents on web
--- à¤à¤¶à¥à¤· शà¥à¤à¥à¤²à¤¾ \Wah Java !!\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am not sure which HTML specification you are looking at but the W3 page says quite opposite of what you are claiming I'm also looking at the same HTML v. 4.01 specification. http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html above URL also says, this: -- begin quote -- To sum up, conforming user agents must observe the following priorities when determining a document's character encoding (from highest priority to lowest): 1. An HTTP charset parameter in a Content-Type field. 2. A META declaration with http-equiv set to Content-Type and a value set for charset. 3. The charset attribute set on an element that designates an external resource. So a Meta declaration will override the Content-Type header since ContentType could possibly be a servier configuration whereas the META tag is controlled by the person maintaining the page who idealy should be a better judge of what the document is actually in. In addition to this list of priorities, the user agent may use heuristics and user settings. For example, many user agents use a heuristic to distinguish the various encodings used for Japanese text. Also, user agents typically have a user-definable, local default character encoding which they apply in the absence of other indicators. I believe this is very iffy and behaviour may change with even a small patch to whatever browser you are using - basically no standards on this behaviour. This kind of interaction is great, but it is not the only kind of interaction we have. I mean, it works when you have document in multiple encodings, and depending on user agent preferences, you respond. And, also there has to be someway, by which we can inform our webserver that document.html, document.utf8.html, document.iso-8859-1.html are same docs in different encodings. But, my thing is (explained with an example): What you are asking for is already implemented in the apache web server http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_mime.html The majority of the problem starts now. The standards say that the content-type specified by the server is a recommendation or a guideline and not an overriding instruction. The browser is supposed to accept the data in good faith but is supposed to use it's own judegement in handling the data. This is the reason why all browser give you an option to change the charset being used to render the current page. BTW, which standards says it and where ?? Cant recall specific standards but a nice discussion on similar topic is available here http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/www/content-type.html Do note I couldnt locate any reference to the fact that Content-Type can not be overridden at the broswer end. So, in other words, browser should not trust server. In a hostile network I would prefer not to. I am not sure of the specifics but bottom line is it is a matter of trust - would I trust a unknown server to decide how I treat their data or should I be the best judge of it. I would rather let applications I trust decide what to do with anything. http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec7.html#sec7.2.1 -- begin quote -- Any HTTP/1.1 message containing an entity-body SHOULD include a Content-Type header field defining the media type of that body. If and only if the media type is not given by a Content-Type field, the recipient MAY attempt to guess the media type via inspection of its content and/or the name extension(s) of the URI used to identify the resource. If the media type remains unknown, the recipient SHOULD treat it as type application/octet-stream -- end quote -- I think we have deviated a bit from Charset to Content-Type Charset is not as strictly enforced as Content-Type. Yes there are sufficient broken webservers out there who say rpm is a real media file to give me headaches. Coming back to http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html My interpretation is 1. Check for Content-Type use it if available. Go to item 2 for text contents 2. Check for META tag use it to over ride server side Content-Type 3. Check for element charset and override the charset for the specific element Maybe my interpretation is wrong but I think that is what happens currently. Also as I mentioned before we are discussing two different topics here. Content-Type is a superset of charset as in in most scenarios Content-Type is sent without a charset involved which is why META tags play a lot of role. Mithun __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

If I know a system has linux installed but don't know what flavor, how can I tell which it is (ie. Suse, RedHat, Debian, etc.)? A distribution is just a collection of packages. It doesn't have any specific technical information which needs to be standardized across distributions. What every distribution does have is to consistently inform the release of that specific distribution which will be consistent across versions of that distribution. Mithun __ Do You Yahoo!?

[ilugd] NAS idea
I have this brewing in my head for quite sometime and was wondering whether anyone was ready to try it out. I currently cant due to lack of resources but if it works you could probably earn some glory/money whatever. Basically I am looking at a Linux based NAS solution. Unless I am mistaken most NAS systems are costing 5-6 times the cost of the hardware involved. If my understanding is correct a simple NAS is: 1. A storage space available over the network 2. Fault tolerant 3. Expandable 4. Transparent 5. Compatible across OSes The way I see it is I need the following to get it going 1. Gigabit network 2. RAID 1/5 3. LVM 4. RAID and LVM can be configured to handle hot swap 5. Share disk space using NFS/SAMBA Of course it runs Linux or I wouldn't be talking here. There are two things currently lacking off the shelf. 1. A cabinet to hold/expand hard disks at least 4 hard disks to begin with 2. A web based application to manage the RAID and LVM setup. I am hoping I am making sense here and would like to solicit feedback as to the viability and interest in trying out the setup. Mithun __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Most SOHO users probably can survive without qouta's - assuming there is absolutely no way to maintain it across platforms. To think about it quotas need to be implemented at the Linux end - so would there be an issue if a web based interface is provided to manage quotas or am I looking at the problem differently ?

Re: [ilugd] NAS idea
--- Manish Verma [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i would like to add few more points while designing a NAS solution 1.writing of data on to HDD should be fast enough, at time when you are mounting central storage on multiple server the concurrent NFS operation makes it very difficult and the write on the box slows down e.g netapp uses wafl filesystem (or for that matter all NAS storage uses the same way of writing through cache) which does the writing of data from cache. Your solution should be based on using the cache to the maximum for both read and write. I have seen xfs,ext3 going down in the load condition. I guess corporate customers would like SCSI disks, even home users shouldnt go for anything less than SATA disks. I do recall NFS having lad issues that definitely needs to be looked into. Guess we will have to develop a proper set of test cases based on your feedback :). 2. You will have to check the boot time of your NAS box and it should be under control there are NAS boxes ( i would not put the name here, but you can easily find it out) which takes 15-20 minutes to boot. The box should be able to boot in 3-4 minutes even if it a abnormal reboot. I have used pretty simple installations of LVM over RAID5 on Fedora Core 3 and it did come up in a few min. I do agree complex LVM and RAID installations need to be tested. 3.you should benchmark your NFS box for NFS operation not I/O operation on disk. You may get good I/O on disk but may not be able to get good NFS operation. 4.The redundancy of storage array should not be limited to RAID5 because now the storage capacity of individual disks are going high (500GB SATA, 300GB SCSI and FCAL are in the market) you should be able to handle dual disk failure in the same RAID group lets say you have 14 disk RAID group and your one disk failed and rebuilding is going on (which will take some time as the capacity is more) and during that time if your second disk also fails then your whole of the RAID volume will go offline, you should have dual parity kind of solution. Well isnt the concept of spare disks in RAID meant for these purposes ? 5.NAS solution should be modular i.e i should be able to add storage and processing both e.g if i am handling n NFS operation using one NAS header today with NTB storage and tomorrow if i want to increase my NFS operation i should be able to add more processing (NAS header to the same storage) and lets say i don't want to increase the NFS operation but i want to add more storage i should be able to do that as well and that too on the fly because if my box is in production i cant shut it down. Adding disks would be limited by the enclosure holding them. A highly modular system I am afraid wont be there in a first cut we would probably have to set up a research lab or something where CPU and hard disks both are modular and are being used efficiently. Also if I add a CPU does it contribute to a existing box or creates a new box. There are various degrees of modularity which could be achieved but definitely not everything in the first version. May be there are other things also can be considered and included but that is all i could put down off hand. When ever you are ready with your NAS solution i could be a good customer Haha as soon as I get someone interested in coughing up resources you can be the beta tester. Unless ofcourse you have some spare cash and the knowhow to make cabinets suitable for housing hard disks with proper cooling. I wonder how temperature could be measured in the cabinet over a period of time - anyone has any thoughts on the same ? for you :). also read on onstor while designing the solution.

Extensive filesystem damage - you are better off with the backup disk in any case then 2. Power went off before lilo could write to the boot sector - only valid if you were playing with lilo and only if lilo couldnt write before power went off. 3. If you use grub then /boot/grub folder or /boot/grub/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.1st on Debian got corrupt. Do note if power wasnt the culprit then either the kernel was non standard or the motherboard is dying on you.

Re: [ilugd] 17 plasma/lcd monitor recommendations
I have a DELL UltraSharp 1704 which gives me 1280x1024 @ 32 bit color according to windows .. I dont think you will find a 17 TFT which gives you 1400x1050 resolution. Also this LG of yours is a TFT or a CRT ? I am surprised to hear you are getting 1400x1050 on a 17CRT - arent they equal to a 15 display area ?

[ilugd] Configure windows to use CUPS
Hi, I am trying to configure a CUPS based print server on windows using IPP. Windowx XP does seem to have the facility to enter a printer using a URL.

My question is - what exactly is the URL I am supposed to provide to windows to be able to print using IPP ? I gave http://192.168.0.100:631/printers/DeskJet but Windows doesnt like it even though I can see it using a browser on the same machine. Mithun __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [ilugd] How to create a new linux user on the fly
Couple of things that can be done are as follows : 1. You use suexec and take let AMS have fun with his bots. 2. You do a sudo and have the same problem as above. In both cases you just hope there are no bugs in your implementation which would result in your system being hacked or made useless long before you realized what has happened. 3. You use the web front end as a queuing mechanism and allow a separate superuser process to implement the creation process. Better in the sense that your application is modular and each module does what it is good at. Throw in a authorization step and the whole thing is a little more secure. 4. Do you really need to change the system setup ? Most requirements can easily be fulfilled by implementing a separate authorization and authentication mechanism which is independant of the system accounts. This can only be answered by you and the answer would probably be valid for your specific case. Look at what CVS and Vpopmail does to handle situation where they have multiple users accessing the server but dont necessarily have anything to do with a system account on the server.
