It is a bug with the standard Redhat. 7.3 rpms.
The mgetty file in /etc/logrotate.d contains:
/var/log/mgetty.log.tty*
I guess the reason for this is to rotate the modem logs on all serial
ports, but it wasn't well thought through.
I just changed mine to /var/log/mgetty.log.ttyS1 (as I only use th

Dear list,
Sorry about the subject.
A small SCSI drive has gone walkabout and I need to recover the data.
1. Is there a Linux based tool to rebuild the MBR / directories?
2. Can anyone recommend a company to recover the data?
Any suggestions / recommendations?

Richard,
There is a company at Camperdown, I believe, that may be able to help,
but I can't find their details at the moment. I will dig them out and

Agreed. But there's no reason to put it on a partition all its own,
and risk the problems I mentioned earlier. Just let it use some of the

Yes, that's the case. 1 RAID device == 1 partition.
You may however get really tech and use LVM (Linux Volume Management)
