What it means is that Beagle has serious problems, something which several people on this list seem to have a very great difficulty in understanding. I'm afraid this may be independent of whatever problems beagle may have; I suspect a hardware problem, maybe (and if so, hopefully only) bad RAM, though I ran memtest for seven hours (15 full passes) without getting a single error. Still, it might be helpful to find out why beagle is eliciting these messages (and continues to do so). These appear to be file system errors. If they are indeed related to beagle its probably because its trying to read something on the filesystem that is corrupt or has dangling symlinks . Its noticeable that the errors show up 4 minutes after the beagle system wide index process starts, not immediately. Possibly you want to try fsck (and maybe back up your data).

Save the contents of /home, /opt, and /etc on DVD or something. If you have a /usr/local, save that too. I save everything :-) Do a fresh installation, subject to the following advice: For ease of upgrading in the future, put /home and /opt on their own partitions. You can make /usr/local a symbolic link onto the /opt filesystem I believe in linux, or in suse, /opt is not required for that purpose, as it is only populated with files from rpms. But instead, /usr/local is not. kde3 and gnome both install in /opt, as wll as some other software. On all future upgrades, do a fresh installation, making sure to NOT format the /home and /opt filesystems. It's also advisable to put /tmp on its own filesystem (to minimize the chance of corruption on the root partition). Have you noticed that opensuse 11, and probably most distros, will only allow us to use up to 15 partitions? It is a side effect of libata using the scsi device name convention. I've heard about that...but until 2003, my Linux desktop machine was 100% SCSI, and my laptop here is SATA, which I understand follows a lot of SCSI conventions, even on non=Linux machines. I've never come close to 15 partitions on a disk So, no, I've not personally noticed it, but on the other hand, I haven't had a reason to notice. In the past, even two weeks ago, having a disk divided into several partitions, has saved my butt, by limiting unrecoverable disk damage to a single partition. Yep. If the root partition has to be fsck'ed, I'm already on Plan B..and it's very easy for it to quickly progress to Plan C (root partition repair) which can easily turn into Plan D -- reinstalling the whole OS... And if the original fsck were caused by a corrupt file in a directory that doesn't need to be on the root filesystem, well then, I've gone from an easily manageable problem to Plan B, C or D for...no good reason at all. That's why I keep as little as possible on the root partition -- if the OS or its configuration isn't being modified, then I don't want ANY writes going to the root partition (except /etc/mtab).

I would have expected 75 MB/s or 225MB/ s ie. For normal non-full stripe i/o, it should be 75MB/s * 4 / 4. Where 75MB/sec is what I see for one drive typically, the first 4 is the number of drives that can be doing parallel i/o and the second 4 is the number of i/o's per write. ie. When you do a non-full stripe write, the kernel has to read the old checksum. read the old chunk data, recalc the checksum, write the new chunk data, write the checksum. Out of curiosity, on the dd line, do you get better performance if you set your blocksize to exactly one stripe? ie. 3x 256KB = 768KB stripe. I've read the Linux's raid5 implementation is optimized to handle full stripe write's. ie. Writing 3 chunks produces: Calc new checksum from all new data, Write d1, d2, d3, p so to get 3 256KB chunks to the drive, the kernel ends up invoking 4 256KB writes. Or 75 MB/s * 4 * 3 / 4 = 225 MB / sec If you have everything optimized, I think you should see the same performance with a 2-stripe write. ie. 6x 256KB. If your optimization is wrong, you will see a speed improvement because the alignment between your writes and stripes will be wrong. With the bigger write, you will be guaranteed at least one full stripe write.

[opensuse] cleaning the system
Hi List! I was wondering what do you do to clean up your system? When I reinstall the system (once so far), I select the previous user list, so that when I log in into freshly installed system, I have the same everything, which is good. But I also have the files which I don't need anymore like folders for google-earth and the stuff I probably even don't know about (installed packages, etc.). So what I need to do is kind of reset of the user's account so that it comes to the fresh state.

Besides it's all screwed with the dependencies in yast, for couple of packages it somehow shows that there are _older_ versions available for packages (in red) and it is impossible to install anything because of the dependencies (I have all the repos added).

[opensuse] GRUB will not boot up second windows partition
I had something go drastically wrong with a Windows XP partition on a dual boot system (with SuSE) which is preventing it (Windows) from booting up properly. So I decided to purchase a second drive and create a new partition on this disk drive and reinstall Windows XP there. To accomplish this, for some darn reason only Microsoft knows, I had to disconnected my original drive in order to reinstall Windows XP on my new second drive, only when it was in the first SATA port position (I suspect this has something to do with the fact that I have an OEM reinstall disk for Win XP but that is only a guess...). I then reconnected the original drive into my second SATA slot. That much was successful and with the new XP I was able to at least read and start recovering files from the old XP partition. As I MOSTLY use SuSE 10.3 I decided to switch the order of the drives so that my original drive was again the first drive on my system and boot from it. As the boot menu was still referring to the original broken version of Windows XP, I booted up SuSE and attempted to fix GRUB (via YaST) so that it would also let me boot up the new XP partition. This is where I ran into troubles. Even though I am telling GRUB that the new XP partition is on my second drive, in the first primary partition, /dev/sdb0, it will not boot it up when I select it. Instead it continues to try an boot up the original broken XP that in now located on my first drive /dev/sda0. I even let the YaST boot manager find and suggest the possible operating systems and build a GRUB boot menu, and it properly found both XP partitions and made entries in the boot menu for each. BUT booting either still results in only the first Windows XP partition trying to boot up which as I said fails. If I unplug the drive that has this broken XP and SuSE on it, and reconfigure the SATA cables appropriately, then the new version of Windows XP will boot up fine, so I know there is nothing wrong with it. So I am lost and confused... Can anyone offer me advise on how to get this stubborn boot loader to do what I want it to? (That is to allow me to boot up my new second Win XP?) I REALLY do NOT want to have to reinstall SuSE as that would be a LOT of work for me!!! Marc... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In other words is grub passing correctly to XP, but the XP boot process is failing? If you have installed XP onto the first disk, that is where it expects to find it. When you move it to the second disk, as far as XP is concerned, in its own boot.ini file, it still tries to boot the 1st disk. I forget the actual config in boot.ini, but a bit of trial and error should fix it...

The latest 10.3 kernel has an update to that driver with many bugfixes, Andreas How do you get the iwl3945 driver? I have the vanilla 10.3 system with complete updates (according to opensuse-updater), and I have the ipw3945 driver. And last time I looked (a couple of weeks ago), Intel said the ipw3945 was the stable version, and iwlwifi (no iwl3945 mentioned) was not yet recommended. ...Well, I just looked at the Intel site again, and now they say iwlwifi 1.0.0 has been production since 8/13/2007. So why isn't it in suse now? Or doesn't production mean stable? John Perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ignore filesystems on other partitions and you are on your way to solving the problem.

RE: [opensuse] GRUB will not boot up second windows partition
The long and short of it is that one needs to get grub to fool windows into thinking the 2nd drive is actually the first one. windows *only* boots off the first drive in a system. it's even documented as such by m$, though why they would choose to criple their product is beyond me. here is what you want in the winblows section of your grub.conf: map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) -Original Message- From: John Bennett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 30 January 2008 4:31 p.m. To: opensuse@opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse] GRUB will not boot up second windows partition On Jan 30, 2008 1:08 PM, steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Marc Chamberlin wrote: | | So I am lost and confused...

In other words is grub passing correctly to XP, but the XP boot process is failing? If you have installed XP onto the first disk, that is where it expects to find it. When you move it to the second disk, as far as XP is concerned, in its own boot.ini file, it still tries to boot the 1st disk. I forget the actual config in boot.ini, but a bit of trial and error should fix it... For example the following entries (out of boot.ini): [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS=Microsoft Windows XP Professional /noexecute=optin /fastdetect will boot the second partition off the first drive. (I believe disks count from 0 and partitions count from 1) This may fix your prob. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi.
I wonder if there is some black magix involved to build Virtualobx on
x86_64. To my understanding it needs bin86 or dev86 to build but those
packages don't exist as x86_64 packages. So how should this be handle
in the build service?
Short answer, this is not possible yet.
Longer answer, to reuse packages from another architecture, the schedulers
need to talk to each other. We need this anyway in the next 2 month, to be
able to fullfill our next mileston, so you shouldn't need to wait too long
for this :)

Thank you very much for clearing that to me.
Then I will sit back and relax waiting for you guys coding this stuff up.
You are doing a great job!

Well, it was just a general topic, but while we're talking on this specifically: by definition there can't be false positives for -Wstrict-prototypes. And the reason for them being turned on is (iirc) that the incorrect prototypes cause ABI issues (parameters passed incorrectly) and crashes. Therefore if we support an architecture where is indeed an ABI problem (think SLE), then we should weed them out of the source. Note that I'm not advocating to do that now - evaluation of the fallout has to happen first (in BETA IMHO). I just said that rather than implementing the failure in the autobuild check, it should be triggered by using the right gcc option for it.
