Subject: Q: ReiserFS or hardware error?
Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2001 15:19:58 GMT
Greetings! I woke up this morning to a console full of errors. I've
got about 275 lines of these errors. Does anyone know if these are
specifically ReiserFS or hard drive/hardware errors.
I've also noticed that the errors occur when 'tar' tries to stat()
certain files. i.e. the errors appear on the console in tandem with
the tar command:
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p2: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p3: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p4: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p5: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p6: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p7: Cannot stat: Permission denied
Can anything be done to repair/correct these? I've got backups, do I
need to go back to ext2? I've been running ReiserFS for 4 months with
no problems until now. Any advise would be great! Thanks!
Tony G.

You also need to post your /proc/pci, /proc/interrupts and
/etc/conf.modules as well as windows ME settings for the card.
Escpecially as you have a completly different motherboard.
my 2 cents worth

When I installed RH5.2, v6.0, and finally v6.2, I uncabled my Win95
drive (the ribbon cable, not the power cable). The worst that could happen
is you'll generate a drive-not-responding error. I've had drive ribbon
cables plugged in every which-way from Sunday and it caused no harm.
Unfortunately, newbie that I was, when I installed RH5.2 the first time, I
only erased the BIOS settings rather than physically uncabling the drive.
RedHat found the puppy *anyway* and totally wiped out my Win95 partition.

Well, when you ask for help, do you ask, "How do I do this in Linux?"
or do you ask, "How do I do this in RedHat?" All I know is, the more
distro-specific changes RedHat implements to their software, the farther
away I get from the Linux community. I've learned my lesson about becoming
totally dependant on an uncaring commercial vendor (aka: Microsoft) for my
computing needs. I don't want to pull a repeat performance with RedHat.

Scott,
I had a similar problem with the SIS5596 way back in '97. However, I *did*
manage to get it working at 800x600 (I think I may even have got it at
1024x768!!!).
One problem: that system of mine is now dead and buried, so I no longer
have the XF86Config file :-(
However, all is not lost. I remember SuSE bringing out their XFCom drivers
for SiS chipsets:

I don't know where it came from, but after upgrading my
machine from SuSE 5.3 tot SuSE 6.3 it suddenly has Logical
Volume Management. Problem is: I don't use it (yet, since I
plan to add another HD and after that I probably _will_ use
it), and it takes about forever to scan for logical volumes
(that are not present). Doesn't bother me to much (still
booting a lot faster than Windows), and I'm too lazy to try
to find out wheter I can do something about it.

Sounds like a route problem. Check and make sure you have an entry
like this
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse
Iface
0.0.0.0 the.gway.provided 255.255.0.0 U 0 00
eth0
where the.gway.provided is something that will look like you own IP, but
have a .1, .254, or .255 after it. Usually, you have a route problem
when you can ping yourself, but not out. This could also be a cable
problem, or a hardware problem so you may look into those as well. Good
luck.

The first thing in anything to check whether you've terminated the scsi chain
properly. Unforunately, the scsi faq I usually point people to
(http://www.ultranet.com/~gfield/gary/scsi.html) doesn't seem to be active any
more. Note, the late 2.1.x kernels and all 2.2.x kernels are more sensitive to
termination issues than the 2.0.x kernel was, at least for the LSI Logic (nee
Symbios nee NCR) and Adaptec 2940 compatible cards I use. For my old Archive
and then new WangDat drives I needed to rewrite the chain, removing the
termination that the last device (the tape drive) thought it was providing, and
using a real active termination connector. Termination is the main reason old
scsi hands insist that you need a blood sacrifice over your scsi chain :-)
The second thing to check whether you've cleaned the tape drive regularly (if
you haven't -- go out and buy a cleaning tape and run it through 2-3 tim
