[newbie] device /usr busy? SAY WHAT?
Hey group I just got some weird errors when I went to either shut down or reboot the server. It said something like /usr was busy and it retried to umount again approx 3 or 4 times, has anyone else had this error and know how to correct it so on bootup it does not have to do a fsck of the usr ? Thanks
Re: [newbie] device /usr busy? SAY WHAT?
No Ijust have regular Mandrake 8.0 with nothing but ext2 all round. On Tuesday 12 June 2001 08:05 am, so spoke Michael Leone: I saw this, when loading VMWware in kernel 2.2.18 (it used one of it's SUSE pre-compiled kernels - i.e., NOT a Mandrake kernel). So, since I have multiple kernels to boot to, I use VMWare in kernel 2.4.5. This made it compile it's own kernel modules, and I haven't seen that problem since. Are you running VMWare? And on a ResierFS partition, as I am? - Original Message - From: Chubby Vic [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2001 5:14 AM Subject: [newbie] device /usr busy? SAY WHAT?

On Sunday 20 May 2001 02:06 pm, so spoke Franki: I don't think the PC100 or PC133 thing is the issue,,, Unless your CPU needs PC133 (ie it has a 133 or 266 FSB or front side bus), it will only use 100 anyway, so it doesn't matter what you set it as... One thing to try, is upgrading your bios to the latest version,, Some motherboards don't know what to do with a 256mb dimm, or they do it wrong,, so upgrading your bios is the way to fix it.. Its not that hard to do either... find out your motherboards brand, model, and revision (if applic) then go to their web site, and download the new bios for your board... Make a dos bootable floppy, (with nothing else on it.) then unzip the file you got from the manufacturer, and copy the files to the floppy.. usually the files will be awdflash.exe and a file with the extension .bin the bin file is the actual bios file... boot from the floppy, and when you get to a dos prompt, type: awdflash Then just answer the questions,, it will ask if you want to back up the old one,, and then it will ask for the filename of the new one, enter that, (and the extension .bin) and continue,, and it will write the new bios,, (do not reset the computer or cause a powerdown until it tells you its ok to you can waste your mainboard if you stop it in the middle of writing) If you did that, you will have a new bios (see the new date on the start screen), so then go back into your bios, (hit delete on boot and you will get it.) and set the defaults again,, then change whatever is necessary for your setup, then save and exit,, and you'll be off and running. It may fix your issues... and it can't hurt anyway,, I do it all the time with all my systems. The instructions above are for Award bios's (if you want to know what type you have, cold restart you PC and read the start screens.) AMI and the others are very similiar for updating the bios, and it can often fix alot of issues that you normally wouldn't have attributed to a bios problem. one last thing you can try... is slowing down your memory to see if it helps,,, go into bios as described above, and I think its chipset settings that you want, in there, set you memory for lower performance, (higher numbers generally mean lower performance.) if that makes no difference, all you need to do is select setup defaults to change things back again. hope this helps regards Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Irv Sent: Monday, 21 May 2001 2:33 AM To: newbie Subject: Re: [newbie] Computer Freezes under Linux 7.2 WindowsME - Original Message - From: PENA FAMILY [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: newbie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2001 3:41 AM Subject: [newbie] Computer Freezes under Linux 7.2 WindowsME I just recently added an additional 512MB (2x256MB DIMM PC133) for my video editing needs.

So, I give it a try, just to see what happens, and low and behold, the drive ejects the cartridge whether I umount it first, or not. I knew as soon as I sent my request for help that it sounded pretty lame. I knew I'd get some reply about pressing the eject button, something I knew I didn't have one of. Well... Thanks very much from a newly commissioned officer of the brain dead newbie division. I assume I need to umount /mnt/zip before I eject the cartridge?

Then Rex, I told him what to post and he did not ask anything about "off the record" he just assumed that because I was grumbling about my machine that it was what I wanted posted and took it as dictation, so I kicked him. Now Griffin goes and does the same thing even *after* I specifically asked him to not print what I say until I say the words "on record" and then after I say "off record" he is not to take anything I say as dictation until I say "on record" again, plus he spammed a few people using my computer. -long sigh--- I can't seem to find anyone I can trust to do my e mails while I'm away. While they will pile up, I can do them all myself, but I will almost never seem to get back to anyone or get anything done on here. So thats about once this year and twice last year. Those who have been quoted as saying "good help is hard to find" were not kidding.

Griff, you're fired Re: [newbie] stupid ftp server broken
No Griffin can't be more vague, because he is FIRED, hear that Griff? Get your stuff and get out of my office. Scuse this, Griff is aparently a bunk secretary, so he is out of here. My point that Griff so miserably failed to make was that when one tries to log in to the ftp server here, is all one gets is the error message: Connected to kittypuss.org. 500 kittypuss.org FTP server shut down -- please try again later. ftp Re-installing produces same result. running inetd and in.ftpd produces same result, restarting all network functions produces same result. Resources exhausted, cant go any further, need ftp server, how do I get it back? On Sunday 08 April 2001 05:20 pm, so spoke Fred Schroeder: Could you be a little more vague?

Re: Griff, you're fired Re: [newbie] stupid ftp server broken
I saw both inetd and xinetd running, should I stop one of them? I am trying to use wu-ftpd and yes, when I kill both xinetd and inetd I get connection refused, but when I turn it back on I still get [ntr@kittypuss ntr]$ ftp kittypuss.org Connected to kittypuss.org. 500 kittypuss.org FTP server shut down -- please try again later. ftp then I bang the keyboard in frustration.

Are you running inetd or xinetd? Is ftp configured in inetd and there is already a proftp server running? Try turning off inetd and see what happens (if you get connection refused, then I'm wrong).
Re: [newbie] ftp server broken
Removed /etc/shutmsg it now is operational. Many thanks to David and to you for offering. Please excuse Griff's abuse, I have terminated his employment here.. 3 secretaries in a year, all bad.
