[gentoo-user] Failed raid
I have a home server using 2.6.15-vs2.1.0-gentoo-r1 kernel. It has several raid arrays. The other day it froze, but I am away, so I had someone else turn it off and on again. After that 2 of the arrays didn't come up. One of them complained about invalid superblock on one partition but I added that back and it synchronized and that work fine again. However another array, md6, had 2 partitions complaining about invalid superblock as shown below. It should use the partitions /dev/hda8,/dev/hdc6,/dev/hdg7,/dev/hdh6,/dev/hde2 Two missing is one too many for raid 5 to just synchronize again. I have looked around but cannot find any information about if or how this can be fixed. Is it possible to fix the superblock or force it in some way. I guess maybe they may be out of sync so the filesystem could be invalid if forced to start anyway. But maybe it would be possible to force it long enough to mount the filesystem readonly for a while to retrieve those things not backed up elsewhere and the recreate the array from scratch? md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: invalid raid superblock magic on hdg7 md: hdg7 has invalid sb, not importing! md: invalid raid superblock magic on hdh6 md: hdh6 has invalid sb, not importing! md: autorun ... md: considering hdh7 ... ... md: considering hde2 ... md: adding hde2 ... md: adding hdc6 ... md: hdc2 has different UUID to hde2 md: hdc1 has different UUID to hde2 md: adding hda8 ... md: hda2 has different UUID to hde2 md: hda1 has different UUID to hde2 md: created md6 md: bindhda8 md: bindhdc6 md: bindhde2 md: running: hde2hdc6hda8 md: md6: raid array is not clean -- starting background reconstruction md: personality 4 is not loaded! md: do_md_run() returned -22 md: md6 stopped. md: unbindhde2 md: export_rdev(hde2) md: unbindhdc6 md: export_rdev(hdc6) md: unbindhda8 md: export_rdev(hda8) ... -- Jesper 17:09:48 up 2 days, 59 min, 25 users, load average: 0.38, 0.88, 0.93 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] usb gadget support
Hi all, I am looking at digital dvd/hard drive recorders for dvb, and I noticed that a lot of them are coming out with usb nowadays.

I would rather not go through two steps - eg. dvd recorder to dvd to computer; or dvd recorder to usb hd, to computer. Or alternatively, are there any recorders with a usb uplink? thanks heaps!

First, we need to know... - what IP address range is allocated to the machines behind the router? - what IP address does the router display to the machines behind it (presumably on eth1)? I've dealt with a multi-port router sitting behind a single-port ADSL modem, and I'm aware that you have to take care that they don't step on each other's address ranges. Thank you very much. That fixed it, I needed to specify the netmask. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] [OT?] Cannot delete symlinks which point to folders on a different filesystem
Hi! I'm having a problem with Nautilus from Gnome 2.16 (I also had this with 2.14.x). On my Desktop folder, I've got a symlink: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/Desktop $ ls -la `pwd`/Bilder lrwxrwxrwx 1 alexander alexander 20 23. Sep 16:07 /home/alexander/Desktop/Bilder - /mnt/HD/share/Bilder When I now try to move this link into the trash (by selecting it and pressing Del or by selecting the appropriate action from the context menu), I get an error message: Fehler: »Nicht auf demselben Dateisystem« beim Löschen von »/home/alexa...top/Bilder«. Wollen Sie fortfahren? [ Abbrechen ] [ Wiederholen ] Error Not on the same file system while deleting /home/alex...top/Bilder. Would you like to continue? [ Cancel ] [ Retry ] (With a different user, I don't get any message at all - ie. there's no message and just nothing happens when I hit Del - but that's a different issue...) Well, the message is correct - the symlink points to a different filesystem. To a NFS mounted directory, to be exact. Am I doing something wrong? How can I delete symlinks to a different filesystem with Nautilus? Thanks, Alexander Skwar -- Misery loves company, but company does not reciprocate. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The above only matters when you're actually running a database on the local server. I'm guessing at one time you tried Mysql out and the directory /var/lib/mysql is still there with db files in it. That's the only reason you'd ever have that directory.

Anyone on this list have any experience with sabayon? It's something like 13g of pre-compiled ~x86 or ~amd64 stuff (your choice) on a DVD. Even after install, it takes something like1 1/2 minutes to boot! Maybe that's because it uses the genkernel crap ? -- Collins Richey If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] {OT} Video cataloging software
Does anyone know of software that will catalog videos like banshee or rhythmbox catalogs music? Preferrably something that can launch mplayer for playback. Does this exist? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Please Help: Major problems with Modular X
On 9/23/06, Chris Walters [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't recall seeing any replies to my original post, so I figured it must have gotten lost. As for the Xorg log, I don't have one to post - if I had, I would have posted the pertinent portions rather than describe the problem. You can see the previous thread and responses here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/170748/focus=170748 Although there isn't much to see...we can't help a whole lot without that log file. So I would suggest to quickpkg the current xorg, try the modular X again, so we can see what problems you are actually running into. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] kernel 2.6.18 : 2 questions
I've successfully installed Kernel 2.6.18 -- is it imagination or is it a bit faster on this desktop ? -- , but there are a couple of simple questions I'm not sure how to answer. (1) I used 'make xconfig' it didn't show me the 'PPP' option: when I used find from the edit menu, it showed up I was able to add it, but it's not under the tree-menu. Is this a glitch in the 'xconfig' interface or did I miss something ? (2) I compiled the sensor items into the kernel, not as modules, but I'm now left with 2 orphan module lines when Init runs: loading lm_sensors modules ... [!!] . I've looked around, but can't easily see where those lines are defined (it's not /etc/modules.autoload.d/ , which is used by the kernel). Can anyone give me a quick pointer to where to find them, so that I can comment them out of whatever file they're mentioned in ? -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
