thank you for your reply,i will try that setup when i get home, but for now the network seems functioning on 100mbps though sometimes it disconnects unexpectedly however it has been stable for 2 days,anyway i was trying to force that setting as instructed from the ISP, though i never had to do that before, so i guess if i'm still going to face problem with the 100 mbps i'll have to force it.

[gentoo-user] ext3 error

2006-06-07 Thread Arnau Bria
Hi everybody,

I'm getting this error in my messages:

EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,54)): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block 

It referes to sd(8,54), but I don't know which device it is refering to:

# df -h
Filesystem
/dev/sda3 
/dev/sda1   
/dev/sdb1 
/dev/sdd2 
/dev/sdd3 
/dev/sdd5 
/dev/sdd6 
/dev/sdc1 
/dev/sdc2 

As you could see, I don't have sd*8...

Could someone help me to find out the disc that the error refers to?

Many thanks in advance.

This is means SCSI disk (major number 8) with minor number 54. 
Type ls -l /dev/sd* and you'll see something like this:

It works fine here. A few packages (mostly GNUstep ones) fails to
compile with GCC-4.1.1 (at least with my configuration), but we are
talking very  few packages.

Just remember to do 'emerge -e system  emerge -e world' and you'll be

That is difficult because you haven't actually told us anything about the

I was running stable with a lot of testing unmasked.  Then upgraded

Then decided to go ~x86 for the system.  That is where the pain was,

update a few more packages, ...  Lesson learned is when upgrading
to expat-2, immediately take the hours needed to do the
revdep-rebuild (in all honesty, I didn't see the ewarn message
because I was upgrading 448 packages).  It really would have been
nice if the expat-2 emerge package died after giving the instructions
to revdep-rebuild...

So far (5 days) the system has been real nice, no problems.  KDE
appears (subjective) faster (with USE=kdehiddenvisibility).  So +1 on
upgrading a ~x86 to gcc-4.1.1.

For those considering stable to testing, the main changes are
pam-logon/shadow (unmerge pam-logon), coldplug/udev (unmerge
coldplug), expat (revdep-rebuild), ocaml (dependent packages must
be manually rebuilt afterwards).

That is some precious info. I'll remember that when switching next week, thanks.
I will not have much problems with dependencies/blocks and stuff
because I already switched the whole tree to ~x86, masking some
blocks, so, now it is just a matter of recompiling stuff. Anyway, If I
switch, do the emerge -e system and world and eventually stop, nothing
will (in theory) be broken as long as I mantain compatibility
libraries right? I'll switch from 3.4.5 to 4.1, dunno if there were
substancial changes like when switching from 3.3 to 3.4. Anyway, gotta
read the gcc upgrade guide again.

AFAIK, the only thing that you need to compile twice is GCC.  And you
don't even really need to do that twice.  The second pass will may
pass on new optimizations that will make it more efficient, but the
code it outputs will be exactly the same.

 It appears somethign isn't configured to allow suExec but I can't tell
 what.  I've made all settings that appeared to be related.  The cgi is
 chmod 755.
 
 The log output seems too skimpy to see how to further debug this:

The details of the error should be in /var/log/apache2/suexec_log

Also, the permission denied error for suexec2 itself is strange. What
are the permissions on suexec? They should be:
-rws--x---  1 root apache 15107 Jun  6 16:51 /usr/sbin/suexec2

It doesn't die. And it usually doesn't do it when I'm around, but when I come
back to my system in the morning there are usually 200 or so crash dialogs
waiting for me, all indicating the application suffered a SIGFPE (floating

Am I alone with this?

On 6/7/06, Bob Young [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

chain. At the end of the first emerge -e system you may have a new compiler,
but that new compiler was built with the old compiler.


This is false.  Gcc uses itself to build itself.  It uses the system
compiler to build an initial version of itself, and then uses that
version to build itself.  And then for good measure, it uses that
version to build the final version.  It's called a 3-stage bootstrap,
and is documented in the file INSTALL/build.html in the gcc sources.
You can also look at /usr/portage/eclass/toolchain.eclass to determine
that Gentoo uses the bootstrap-lean target by default.

Frankly, anybody who claims that gcc needs to be merged twice so it
can be built with itself and produce better object code does not have
a clue what they are talking about and you should simply disregard
anything else they have to say about what is necessary/useful when
upgrading gcc.


happen before glibc is rebuilt are linked against a glibc that was built
with the old compiler.


And guess what difference this makes to the end result.  None.  Nada.  Nothing.

Because for basically every program on your system, they are
*dynamically linked* against glibc.  This means that you can recompile
glibc with different CFLAGS, a different compiler version, whatever,
and they will *never notice*.  Well, unless you use broken CFLAGS or a
broken compiler, but no amount of emerge -e world can help you then.

There are a few statically linked programs that will include glibc
internally.  These are used only for system recovery purposes...there
is no need to worry about them at all.

Again, *anybody* who claims that the end result of a compile depends
upon what version of glibc you have installed, much less what CFLAGS
or compiler glibc was built with, does not know what they are talking
about.


for most people. This page: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-345229.html
is about doing an install, but it shows how to update a subset of the entire
tool chain. Note that the article does in the end, do a double emerge -e
system, so the the value of updating a toolchain subset is questionable for
the article's purposes.


Any article, on the forums or anywhere else, that claims some speed
benefit resulting from doing emerge -e world twice is wrong.



In short:

emerge gcc-config glibc binutils libstdc++-v3 gcc
emerge gcc-config glibc binutils libstdc++-v3 gcc
emerge -e world


There is no value to having glibc or libstdc++-v3 in the first line.
There is no value at all to doing that twice.

Also, libstdc++-v3 is only needed by a few binary-only programs on
Gentoo.  Moreover, it is simply a build of gcc-3.3.6, which as I
already said uses itself to build itself, so I cannot see any point in
ever re-merging libstdc++-v3 due to a gcc upgrade, much less doing
that 3 or 4 times!


To be clear, in order to make sure absolutely everything is updated and the
libraries that are linked against are also updated prior to use, the two
emerge -e system commands, are the definitive solution. For those who don't
want to spend many extra hours of compile time, in order to gain a 0.5%
increase in performance, the above is offered for consideration.


No, there will not even be a 0.5% increase in performance.  Not even
0.1%.  Not even 0.0.01%.

You are correct that gcc's output will be the same, but you don't need
to merge it twice because gcc uses itself to build itself.  It uses a
3-stage bootstrap, where it uses the system compiler to build an
initial version of itself, then uses that version to rebuild itself.
Then for good measure, it then uses that version to build the final
version of itself.  The final result is completely independant of the
original compiler.
