Re: ext3 on root partition question

I've had the experience where a root system running ext3 was so clobbered that it had to be accessed via a boot floppy. The only rescue floppy I had on hand did not have an fsck thas was able to recover the ext3 system... Bingo... a big problem, yes? After upgrading the utils on the floppy, I was able to fsck.ext3 the partition in question and all data was recoverable.

The only hitch with using it is the long wait for fsck on large partitions. If you don't mind the wait, then this is probably your best choice. If your server isn't running on a UPS, then using one of the journalling file systems is probably a smart idea. XFS would be my choice, followed by ext3. Beware though... no matter what you hear, concerning how good the performance is with a journaled fs, there is definitely a performance hit in using them. In particular I can cry like a baby about how slow nfs runs across ext3. It really is that bad. ;') I'm not a linux guru by any measure, but my experience would recommend the following. Use ext2 on the server with a fully implemented UPS and run samba for file sharing. While NFS has been around for a long time, it comes no where's near samba in performance. On the other hand, samba can be a nightmare to setup if you don't have prior experience, while nfs is almost a breeze to setup.

Here's what I've been using to compile LPRng source code. Beware that you need the LPRng source as well as LPRng-tools to achieve max utility. The current source code tree is up to 3.8.5...

As a side note... I've had all sorts of weird problems with cups in the workstation 3.1 distribution. Sometimes cups works, most times it fails. It seems to me that this is more beta code than user code... but then that's my personal opinion. LPRng on the other hand always worked well and that's what I'm going to use on my personal lan and the production lan at work. However... upgrading ws 3.1 to LPRng is not as clean as Caldera thinks. An LPRng rpm is provided in the 3.1 distro, but atempts to install it result in dependencies being reported. It appears there are a few file names that LPRng and cups use. This sucks. What I've been doing is this... I remove all cups related rpm's using the -nodpes option then go about building LPRng and LPRngTool from sources. If upon executing lpd you see the "can't bind to port 515" error... reboot your machine, there's cups stuff still in memory... Going into the various LPRng config files (printcap, etc) is beyond this simple message, but it's all covered in the lprng how-to and faq.

Another upgrade path from ws31 to ws311...
I have had no luck in getting the workstation 3.1.1 ISO's that so many have been getting. I keep getting turned away because the iso server is full up with users logged on... However, on one of the mirrors I found the WS311 rpms and srpms and grabbed those. The ones I actually used to upgrade my ws31, were the 3.1.1 RPMS. After carefully removing the ones I didn't want... I simply issuded: rpm -Uvh --replacefiles --replacepkgs --force and after a bit of wait for the packages to install... I eventually got my console back and did a: shutdown -r now When the macine came back up... I had WorkStation 3.1.1 running. :') The packages I didn't upgrade were the kernel and xfree.. I already had updated stuff running, no sense in overwritting my hard work. I had to go around and do a little clean up. My custom compiled copy of samba 2.2.2 was in a different location than WS311, all I had to do was move smb.conf to the caldera location and restart smbd. One other note... the ws311 provided acpi daemon fails to work correctly on the compaqs I host. Over-writing the caldera copy with the one from acpid-20010510 fixed it. Shutdown with either -r or -h now works as expected. All in all, fairly painless. unsupported upgrade of Workstation 3.1 to 3.1.1.

Workstation 3.1, what's it all about?
I just finished ftping and burning a copy of the freely available Woprkstation 3.10 images and here's what I think... Caldera... I don't know what all the hoopla was about?! I haven't installed it yet, I will probably do so on a test laptop, but from what I can see browsing the cdr's... ...it's not that earth shaking. Yeah, it has a new 2.42 kernel, yeah it has updated glib's... but what the hey... it has an old version of lilo, xfree 4.02, etc.. About all I didn't have on my eDesktop 2.40 was a later build of netscape. It installed perfectly off the workstation cdr... Thank you Caldera.

CDRW IDE?
Hello all... As some on you may know, I'm in the market for a new CDRW drive. My old an trusted Yamaha 4416s finally turned belly up and... I'm looking. The one thing I noticed while surfing for a good deal, IDE drives far outnumber scsi and quite frankly, they're cheap as hell when compared to their scsi counterparts. Since I'm nearly 100% scsi here... I'm a bit confused what to do... I've never had the IDE CDRW experience and so I here asking: Is anyone here using an IDE cdrw? I'm curious how well it's working and if you would recommend your particular model. My main area of concern is being able to do "on-the-fly" cdr generation, like I was able to do with my old scsi drive...

The CDRDAO package works great like this. CDRECORD will do the same madness... you pipe the output from MKISOFS to CDRECORD... no files written to harddisk.

win98 hell... (OT)
I hate to ask this here... but I don't know of a better source of information I've got a clients win98 box that she wishes to place on a lan and share internet connections, with other users... Everyone else on the lan is setup perfectly. This one win98 box refuses to see anything outside of it's own box. That is, I can ping localhost and the host name and it works perfectly... ping into the rest of the lan and it times out... no connections. I've done EVERYTHING except change the version of OS. I really mean that too... I even ran a new ethernet cable... swapped her nic for known good nic, her nic worked in another box, the one swapped into her computer didn't... I even tried moving the connection on the switch box end... all manner of twiddle and tweak in the network setup, etc... ipconfig shows the nic setup as eth0, winicfg look like everything else I've ever ran it on... The led's on the nic indicate good connect at 100baset I've done this type of setup a 1000 times before, but this one machine is dead to the net. Here's the kicker, Swap out her harddrive for one of mine and within a few moments I'm browsing the inet and local samba shares like heaven... WTF? Rotten windows 98 install? Pop her harddrive back into the machine, backup her most important data, make a bunch of notes about where and what is in here install and reinstall windows using her copy of 98... after sitting though all this shit... SAME EXACT symptoms! Physically move another computer into this ones space... no problems. Now, this leads to my question Was there ever an edition of win98 that had a brain dead tcpip stack on the cd? I think I've got one! The fix was to "illegally" use a co-worker's copy of 98se and... bingo... it's doing what she wanted! While I'm here... what is the last version of 98 called and does anyone here have a copy they'd like to sell or make a copy of? -- ** Registered Linux User Number 185956 http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&safe=off&group=linux 12:05am up 39 min, 2 users, load average: 0.08, 0.14, 0.09 ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
Linux on COMPAQ PRESARIO 7360...
I just installed linux on a COMPAQ PRESARIO 7360... Linux installs, all the onboard stuff (vid,par,ide,serial,usb,sound) works, but it's not a good box to use for your linux projects. The BIOS is totally braindead, does not setup with discreet irqs. For instance, it insists on video and sound to use the SAME irq. it works... but when you drag some text while playing sounds... you get the dreaded "motor-boat" sound effect. It'll make a great work box, but not for most people... Conclusion... trash the motherboard and install something else. :') One other thing... this is a amd k6-2 compat board, which Compaq claims a top speed of 500mhz... they're wrong, it does 550 no problems and works very well with pc100 simms... ** Registered Linux User Number 185956 http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&safe=off&group=linux 11:40am up 12:14, 2 users, load average: 0.16, 0.06, 0.01 ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Stock market...
Well... A tough day for wall street. Right about now, all those nice certs in my stock protfolio are about as worthless to me as a 12 pack of toiletpaper... but too rough to enjoy... Say what? ;') Thank GOD, I converted most all of it to other investments earlier this year. I actually listened to my wife for a change and stopped being greedy and exposed in the market. My losses hurt, but at the least I still have something left to think about. It's hard watching your hard earned dollars slip into nothingness. As I left work this evening, my normally cold-as-ice-asshole-boss simply looked terrible. I stopped and we talked a bit... probably the first time I heard him speak from his heart in over 5 years. It was all about money and BOY was it heart wrenching... his retirement is all but gone. Talk about a lost soul. I know and work with people that have lost 100's of thousands of dollars in the last year or so... My god, what have we done? I gotta' tell you guys and gals... my heart of hearts is predicting doom. Where it's comming from I'm not real sure. Is it NAFTA? Cyclic changes in the market? Who knows. Just be sure you're ready for it, though. It's gonna' be tough.

What I was using, before it died a miserable death, was a Yamaha 4416s. It worked flawslessly for a number of years, perhaps making thousands of copies of various flavors of linux distributions. :') I did at one time own a 6416s that died shortly after putting it to work... Both were scsi devices. Would I buy another Yamaha? Maybe, but it'd have to be listed as 100% CDRECORD compatible and priced very cheap. That said... I'll probably be buying an IDE interface cdrw this time around. Something that sports the "BURN PROOF TECHNOLOGY" tag... like for instance a TDK VELOCD line of drives... TDK sells one that supposedly writes at 40x... Wow... If true, it'll be alot of fun. Basic advice would be... if your computer is totally IDE, then go with an IDE CDRW device on it's own IDE channel. If you're able to use scsi devices, then scsi is the way to go. Over here, when the 4416s was still alive, I was able to stream from a Toshiba 40x scsi cdrom drive to the scsi burner at 4x and never made a bad copy. All the while I was running kde, netscape, you name it... I've been told that ide writers were good, but I have my doubts if they can do that kind of activity because of bandwidth limitations, etc .

COMCAST@HOME files chapter 11
I got this one this morning ---quote on--- Dear Comcast @Home Customer, On Friday, September 28, Excite@Home, the Internet service provider for Comcast @Home, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to allow them the opportunity to restructure their financial situation with their creditors. As you may know, financial restructuring allows companies that have declared bankruptcy to continue to operate their business successfully. More than five years ago, Comcast committed to the high-speed Internet business by partnering with Excite@Home, and we continue to be committed to providing high quality, reliable service. We are confident that Excite@Home, whose major shareholders include AT&T, Cox and Comcast, will maintain all e-mail and web space services for our customers. Comcast will continue providing its customers with the best high-speed Internet service both now and in the future. We are doing everything possible to ensure that the 950,000 customers we will serve by year-end will continue to be served well while Excite@Home restructures its financial situation. ---my comment--- That's almost 40 million dollars a year and they can't pay their bills?! Cut me a break. ---my comment off--- Comcast views high-speed Internet as one of the most important products in our portfolio and we remain committed to this business and to our customers. We thank you for choosing Comcast and look forward to continuing to provide you with the best high-speed Internet service available.

They're equiped with ess sound chips. Caldera 3.1 will install on them without problems and even detect the sound system. It loads the right chip driver along with the ac97_codec driver. Since the onboard sound chip sucked for VOIP, I did a shut down, turned off the box, plugged in a soundblaster value live (PCI) sound card and rebooted the machine. After I got to a console, I rmmod the maestro3 sound driver, modprobe or insmod (whatever you like) the sb live driver emuk10k and bingo... the ess stuff is disabled, my sb card is running like a champ. VOIP works pretty good on this compaq stuff too. On the PCI bus, the irq's are passed out to the various cards so as to not cause any conflicts. Since I don't load the driver for the ess chips, they are more-or-less cut out of the system. I'm not real thrilled by doing this, but there's no way, short of removing the chips off the motherboard, to disable them othewise. Is that good enough for disabling the onboard hardware? Seems to be. There's no unusual problems or anything out of the ordinary. > Can anyone shed some light on this?
