cheap linux box ?
hey, my NSLU2 just died ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSLU2 ) I can replace it with a new one, however i was thinking - it has been long time since nslu2 showed up, and there must be a more powerful device available for a similiar price... I am actually looking for a cheap linux box, with usb2 and lan, which I can install a general purpose linux distribution on (e.g. debian and such. not openwrt which is good for routers, but not for other things like hosting a mail server etc ...) anyone knows of such a linux box ?

How can I grab the filesystem from corrupted lvm (help recover data from lvm with one pv missing)
Hi,
Yesterday my harddrive had an inconvenient event: when I was using a d-i
from testing I accidentally overwritten on of the pv's connected to the lvm.
I started to panic and found myself making more damage by running vgreduce
--*remove*-*missing* since in one of the rescue files it noted this is the
way to fix it.
the config was :
/dev/sda7 pv0
/dev/sda8 pv1
digging in the parrtion i found the lvm declaration :

Do you want small or cheap? There are several motherboards with dual core ATOM processors on them that fit in a standard case. You can buy a complete system for 800 to 900 NIS, including motherboard, powersupply, case, hard drive, etc. The price varies from vendor to vendor and model to model, depending on which ATOM chip is on it, what hard drive, amount of RAM, etc. They all have a low grade (GMA 950 or 3x00) video card on the board, audio in and out, USB 2 ports, (2 or 3), 10/100 ethernet, one DDR2 RAM slot, an IDE port and 2 SATA ports. I think (I have never really looked) they may have PS/2 keyboard and mouse, and a parallel and serial port (or not). They usually include one PCI slot for expansion. By the time you buy a $149 cheap ARM system, pay for shipping and VAT at customs, the price is pretty close, and you are getting an Intel system that will run just about any standard distro (maybe not UBUNTU this week, but that's their fault) is much faster than anything with an ARM processor and has a lot more IO options. The downside is that is the size of small PC motherboard, sold in a PC case and has a fan cooled PC power supply instead of a brick. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Thanks erez. If you're willing to trade small for cheap, in my view a (very) low-end PC is a far better option. (At the expense of bigger foot-print and higher power usage). Of the top of my head, two options: 1. A dual core ATOM combo box can be found at under 800nis. Add a case, PSU and you can stay under 1100nis. 2. Low end dual core AMD machine: CPU: ~250-300nis, board (Low-end nVidia based board): ~300nis, case+PSU: 300nis, memory: ~200nis. Total: ~1100nis. Needless to say, such a machine is far more capable (and far more serviceable) compared to custom made ARM or PPC machine. For my use, I chose the AMD route. This low end machine (beefed up with 4GB of RAM a and a software RAID5 based on cheap SATA drives) is currently used to house 3 different CentOS VM's using Fedora 13's qemu/KVM, and according to the UPS monitor, this machine rarely tops 60-70w. Keep in mind, that with some effort you could further reduce the power usage by using 35w or even a 25w 2x0u-series CPUs (instead of the usual 55w). -- Gilboa Davara http://www.wirex-systems.com ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

If you fail, and still want to resurrect specific files, you can also try MagicRescue: http://www.itu.dk/people/jobr/magicrescue/ looks promising thank you And i was dding file by file :-( from the disk .. Just take notice that sequencial logical volume (partition) may be not sequencial on the physical volume (There's a logical extent to physical extent mapping). However, there is a good chance most/all of your partition is sequencial, especially if you created the volume group and the logical volumes when the disk was empty (e.g: during installation) without requiring a striped logical volume (it's not the default).

Ivory's cheapest is 945 NIS, but it has a different ATOM processor and a different brand of motherboard. Both are dual core.
