Re: [gentoo-user] Hibernate script trying to bring down non-existant sit0
On Sun, Jun 27, 2010 at 12:21:06AM +0100, Mick wrote Check again using 'iconfig -a'. You should see a IPv6-in-IPv4 interface there. Normally, this would not be up unless you have set up some fancy tunnel with your ISP who would be terminating your IPv6 link. My ISP offers this but have not as yet found a use for it. Thanks for pointing out IPV6 to me. Since this is a brand new machine with different components from my other system, I couldn't copy over .config, so I had to configure the kernel manually. In the process, I forgot to disable IPV6. The presence of IPV6 causes sit0 to show up. I removed IPV6, and a regular hibernate works OK now. Thanks again. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org

[gentoo-user] ext4 reserved space and defragmentation?
Hi: I want to tune my ext4 filesystem of NAS data partition to free its reserved space by using tune2fs -m0 partition. By reading the manual of tune2fs, I observed the following words: Reserving some number of filesystem blocks for use by privileged processes is done to avoid filesystem fragmentation It means that filesystem defragmentation need such reserved blocks to work properly, am I right? If so, can I make the reserved blocks a little because the default 5% is too much. My NAS filesystem is about 7x1.5T, then 5% means a lot of space. -- Shaochun Wang scw...@ios.ac.cn Jabber: fung...@jabber.org

It's not meant for defragmentation but to avoid fragmentation in the first place. Simply speaking, as long as there is enough free space on the disk, even if it is not accessible by an ordinary user, the system can put new data in any place it seems fit. If the disk is really near 100% full, the system has to squeeze new data in every small hole somewhere on the disk. If this is done over a longer time, maybe by deleting files and creating new ones, it massively increases fragmentation. Besides, reserving some space for root can save your rear-end in case some user fills up your root partition. As long as root's processes still have a bit of disk space available, he can still log in and clean up the mess. I agree with you that reserving 5% of several TB is too much for these purposes. I think reducing it to a few 100MB is sufficient. Hope this helps, Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I have a 750Gb drive that I put mostly movies on. I have NCIS and some that I got from youtube of old TV shows plus some regular files like OOo docs. I just ran fragck on that a while ago and got this: 72.499201913381% non contiguous files, 2.38433317962776 average fragments. I also have my /boot partition which has a few kernels on it and their config files. I get this for that partition: 78.4313725490196% non contiguous files, 4.72549019607843 average fragments. Both of those have lots of free space still. About half way on the 750Gb drive and 75% free space on /boot. I cleaned it out a while back and got rid of some old kernels and configs. My freshly copied /usr directory comes in as this: 3.52929844927837% non contiguous files, 0.524852607939654 average fragments. That includes the portage tree by the way. However, there is not much difference when portage is unmounted either. Again, freshly copied just this morning and only synced once so far. I just freshly transfered my OS from one drive to another. /boot and the data drive was untouched tho. I don't have a place large enough to transfer my data partition. My question is this, isn't there a point where there will be fragmentation no matter what file system you use? After all, some files are going to be fragmented because of size and some are going to be fragmented because they are edited and such. By the way, resierfs for everything except /boot and portage which uses ext2 and ext3 respectively. Dale :-) :-)

IMHO this should be more traffic efficient than rsync in the long run (especially when syncing often). I sometimes wonder whether I should file a feature request on rsync, to make it offer a mode in which only directories in which it does something are listed on stdout. I shudder to think of the CPU cycles that are wasted daily on scrolling all those directory names up the screen during an emerge --sync. 21293 of them on this box today, altogether. -- Rgds Peter.

Hopefully this will get you far enough back to take a guess. Seems that libpng12.la doesn't exist and indeed that file isn't there. Missing libpng.so? Hah, the dev responsible for that ought to be shot. It wreaked havoc with ~arch a few months back, it's all in the archives in it's full glory. The libpng ebuild has this message at the end, it's in your elogs: Run /usr/sbin/libpng-1.4.x-update.sh to fix libtool archives (.la) If stable is anything like unstable was, expect a long frustrating sequence of revdep-rebuild and preserved-rebuild to fix it all. Personally, this is one of those things that I fixed and forgot all about (that's how frustrating it was). For the true facts, get the list archives. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com Thanks. I'll give that a try in a minute. I found that running revdep-rebuild -i first failed showing the same sort of error and then the second time passed showing now errors: * Messages for package mail-client/evolution-2.28.3.1: * To change the default browser if you are not using GNOME, do: * gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command -t string 'mozilla %s' * gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command -t string 'mozilla %s' * * Replace 'mozilla %s' with which ever browser you use. * * Junk filters are now a run-time choice.

[gentoo-user] vbox gentoo guest mac address issue
Hello, I have running gentoo vbox guest image. I've made its clone using VBoxManage clonehd ... and setup new vbox guest using this system copy. Everything is same except MAC address. When starting system from this cloned image I've got an eth0 failure. It looks like the original MAC address is somewhere cached in the cloned system. I've googled how to reset this cached MAC address but without luck :-( Please, could you help me? Thanks Pat Freehosting PIPNI - http://www.pipni.cz/

Thanks, Mark So it seems that after a couple of times through each of these tools, and along with changes to firefox-bin to take care of new Flash concerns someone is raising, things are fixed and the machine are clean. Thanks for the pointer on the libpng fixer. I don't see why this sort of thing should be showing up on a stable release. Seems more the sort of thing that should be worked out much earlier. Cheers, Mark
