my boss rememebres reading a very indepth article in one of the msdn 
magazines.  i could scan the articles in and compress them and send them to 
the developers. i want to help the ntfs movement on linux.  would somebody be 
willing to teach me the ropes of reverse engineering of software.  i am a 
faster learner, and very interested in reverse engineering of software.

i have access to the msdn library and maganzies and have lot of free time for 
dedicated ntfs code hacking.

 It's dangerous because NTFS is a proprietary format, and the full
 rules for updating it (including journals etc) are known only to
 Microsoft and those that have signed Microsoft NDAs.  If you update it
 incorrectly it gets corrupted and you will lose data.  It's certainly
 possible to reverse-engineer these rules, but very difficult and
 time-consuming.

nating on linux

2001-04-12 Thread Lee Leahu

i have two network connections.

one is to my company with the lan useing the 192.168.0.0 subnet,
and the other is to a client using the same subnet.

i wanted to know if it was possible to setup some kind of nating on my laptop 
in such a way, that will translate the client's entire 192.168.0.0 subnet 
into a 10.168.0.0 subnet on by laptop.

i printed the man pages for ipchains, but i'm not sure how and where
to start.

if anyone can help, that would be appreciated.

i'm runing SuSE 7.1 2.4.0-4GB kernel on my ibm 600E latop.

module problem with new kernel

2001-04-06 Thread Lee Leahu

hello everyone!

i recently installed suse 7.1 kernel 2.4.0-4GB on an IBM 600E laptop.
it runs execellent!
but i wanted to also have sound, so through make xconfig i added
the sound module, then i found out i had to enable reiserfs (that's what fs i use)
and pcmcia.
now it's complaining that it can't find the modules - suse installed the modules in
/usr/lib/modules/2.4.0-4GB and the new kernel is the plain 2.4.0 and is looking
in /usr/lib/modules/2.4.0

can i make a symling from 2.4.0 to 2.4.0-4GB or is there a twist in it?

is there a way i can tell from somewhere what all the options where used to complie 
the 
original kernel from suse where?

Re: Kernel panic: VFS: LRU block list corrupted

2000-12-16 Thread Lee Leahu

In response to David Weinehall's reply:

sorry - i forgot that i needed to include more info, i'm new to mailling lists.

We recently upgraded our server to kernel 2.2.16 because there was a bug in 
2.2.14
and the new sendmail required at least 2.2.16.

We built our computer from Abit BE6-II motherboards, Pentium III 550 MHz, 
512Kb cache,
256 Megs ram,  3com 905c nics, 3dfx Vodoo 3 3000 video cards
maxtor 30G hard drive,  standard floppy drive, decend CD-ROM drive

i'm not very familiar with klog, but i'll go with klogd.
do i append a '-x' to the line that calls klogs in the startup scripts or
is there some other better way of preventing klogd from destroying
the Oops information.

Then i guess ksymoops. decodes the oops info
