NFS mounting delays w/ 2.4.x kernel?

2001-02-14 Thread List User
I've seen reference to this before (I think on this list) but didn't pay attention to them at the time. I am now running into this problem myself. I've just upgraded one of my NFS servers here from 2.2.17 -> 2.4.1 ). I'm running the user-space server nfs-server-2.2beta48 (tried beta47 as well)

Mailing lists for Linux on OS/390?

2001-02-07 Thread List User
We are starting to look at setting up a test environment for Linux on OS/390 platforms (probably using VM/VSE). Does anyone know of any good mail-lists or usenet groups et al that would be specific to this type of porting/running on this platform? Steve - To unsubscribe from this list: send the

Any reason why we can't auto-start LVM (vg's) in the kernel?

2001-01-31 Thread List User
Is there any reason why we can't auto-detect/bring up volume-groups in the kernel instead of creating a ramdisk volume to do a vgscan and then mount a rootlv? Just trying to see if there is a way (or would make sense) to skip the ramdisk stage in mounting a root logical volume. Steve - To unsub

2001-01-31 Thread List User
I am running kernel v2.4.1 (gcc2.95.2/glibc-2.1.3) and have been getting the following errors sent to the console. I saw reference to this to a BP6 MB but nothing about the Tyan S2505 (Tiger 200) MB. I've tried two different MB's so far and both exhibit the same problem? APIC error on CPU0: 00

If it's any consolation from (this American) I'm glad it's 'disc' (always thought that 'disk' was just for those marketing dweebs who couldn't spell right in the first place). Steve - Original Message - From: "Alan Chandler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, Jan

He's probably sending it to the list the same reason why most in tech circles do. To cut down on the amount of work required. Personally I would love to have all my custom changes put into a 'standard' distribution that way I wouldn't need to keep as many custom notes for x,y,z platforms or what-

Just wanted to 'chime' in here. Yes this would be noisy and will have an affect on system performance however these statistics are what are used in conjunction with several others to size systems as well as to plan on growth. If Linux is to be put into an enterprise environment these types of st

I run a small ISP for my local community and have read some reports about hotmail not supporting it et al. I don't want to be in a position where MY site doesn't support this if it's the correct thing to do. Is there anything special that needs to be done (cisco router config, firewall (ie, chec
