Re: [gentoo-user] Is an Intel motherboard RAID better or worse than software RAID?
Hi, SNIP the howtos on gentoo-wiki worked well for me. I'm working with them, too. Just one question remains: I want to use udev. Do I have to create the md devices or does udev that for me? - Put the root partition on another RAID1 (I thought about putting the root filesystem into my LVM setup, too -- it is REALLY annoying if the root partition get's to small), yeah, but if you have 20+ gb root is always big enough ;) AFAIK lvm kills barriers. You use raid for better data security. So using lvm is a bit.. contra productive. Sorry, I'm neither a LVM nor a RAID export - could you please elaborate on that? I like LVM because of the convenience it adds. - Build a RAID1 partition for the rest of the system (will be a LVM2 container) - Build a last RAID0 partition for scratch data (/tmp, /var/tmp, /usr/portage, scratch data). I have /tmp and /var/tmp on tmpfs - /tmp is so small it is not worth wasting a partition for it. /tmp --- maybe now (4GB ram). /var/tmp - not sure (OpenOffice compile comes to mind here :-) Ciao, Wolfgang

Re: [gentoo-user] AutoFS with LDAP
Yes I also use autofs with openldap.

Because I don't want my users being able to see at other users home directory I use autofs which mount only user logged in home directory on the client.

I like LVM because of the convenience it adds. Write barriers are a feature to allow write caching on the hard disks w/out endangering filesystem integrity. Write caching helps performance significantly, but also allows the disk to re-order write requests - the disk may actually write a write-request that was received later before a write-request that was received earlier, which in some situations can lead to filesystem corruption. Write barriers are a special type of request that the disk is not allowed to reorder around - everything the disk receives before the write barrier must be written before anything received after the write barrier. But in order to work, write barriers need to be supported by every layer from the filesystem down to the actual disk; if your filesystem is on top of LVM LVM doesn't support write barriers, then you won't be able to use them, and if write caching is enabled on the actual disks, you may be risking fileystem corruption. The Device Mapper kernel subsystem (dm-crypt, dm-raid, LVM, etc.) does not support write barriers - but neither does MD RAID except for RAID1, so write caching is dangerous except for filesystems directly on disk partitions or on RAID1 (if the RAID1 is directly on disk partitions). I personally decided against using LVM because from what I read it's difficult to correctly stripe-align LVM, and incorrect alignment can have a very big performance impact. Good luck, Conway S.

I suspect there wb pleas for help from users who run out of disk space: earlier versions needed 3 GB , so this is a big jump, esp as I have 2 GB memory (I didn't check how much it was using).

[gentoo-user] ivman alters /dev/null permissions
Hi fellow gentoo users, I'm not sure if there are many of you that use ivman to automount devices, but I recently started to use it and had /dev/null permissions change to 0600. This broke X login sessions for non root users: -bash: /dev/null: Permission denied The two entries that appear to be responsible for this behaviour are: IvmConfigActions.xml:ivm:Option name=checkOnInit value=false / IvmConfigProperties.xml:ivm:Option name=checkOnInit value=false / (note: these were set to true, but I've changed them to false) I don't understand ivman or udev rules well enough to explain why this behaviour occurs, however, hopefully this post will be some use to others.

[gentoo-user] emerge world failing with No module name libxml2
All,
I am trying to use emerge -uDN world to upgrade from an older snapshot to
20081008 and I cannot seem to get past the issues with module libxml2.
I have tried running python-updater -p and it complains about blocked packages
which are older packages that I have not yet been able to get updated via the

Is it possible to do an emerge -uDN to the latest snapshot on a system that was
built a year or two ago or do I have to do it in stages?
If so what is the correct procedure?

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge world failing with No module name libxml2
2008/10/20 Brian Wince [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
All,
I am trying to use emerge –uDN world to upgrade from an older snapshot to
20081008 and I cannot seem to get past the issues with module libxml2.
I have tried running python-updater –p and it complains about blocked
packages which are older packages that I have not yet been able to get
updated via the emerge world.
Is it possible to do an emerge –uDN to the latest snapshot on a system that
was built a year or two ago or do I have to do it in stages?
If so what is the correct procedure?

RE: [gentoo-user] emerge world failing with No module name libxml2
That may work I will need to give it a shot later today and see if it helps. So the -I ignores the versions of packages installed and just fixes packages broken by a python upgrade, independent of the version? I guess I really do not understand what this means. I understand that slots can be used to install different versions of an app but not sure how that relates to python-updater. Brian -Original Message- From: Arttu V.

Re: [gentoo-user] Prevent sshd from stopping?
One of my Gentoo systems is located in a separate building from the router. The wireless connection always seems to be strong, but periodically the services that depend on net.ath0 stop because it loses the connection. Issuing 'rc' always brings them back. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I'm mainly concerned about sshd. Then let them depend on net.lo. What about sticking 'rc' in the crontab? No good? What's wrong with setting RC_STRICT (?) appropriately, it's what it is for. With the right setting, net.lo will satisfy sshd. Thank you, I do think RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING is what I'm after. - Grant

Nicola wrote: Hi! Somebody out there try to set up the latest xorg server (and all the ~x86 dependency) the latest nvidia driver and compiz? I would like to try, but my latest attempt three weeks ago caused same crazy problems (X didn't start at all), and I am not so crazy to do the same mistake twice in a row, without some prior advices. Well in my latest attempt I used xorg 1.4.2 and 173.14 nvidia drivers (I don't like Marked beta software). After more hours than I like to think about without X, found a warning in: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238969 --- Comment #13 From Dan Coats 2008-10-10 14:47:42 [reply] --- on a side note, nvidia-drivers ebuilds should now warn that backingstore should be set to false or not specified in xorg.conf at all now. kde4 will bail out with backingstore enabled. Commenting out the BackingStore option fixed my problem with KDE 4.1.2 crashing on logging in. Also I was finally successful in using the latest version of HAL, so that was not the problem. The only other gotcha I'm looking into is that KDE 3.5.10 recently disappeared on my system, leaving just KDE 4.1.2 available. HTH, Roy
[gentoo-user] squid with active directory
Hi all, I have a gentoo box that acts as a firewall, router and squid proxy. I've been following a guide[1] to integrate squid authentication with our active directory domain. The guide is a little bit out of date and it doesn't seem to work for me. Authentication is refused to non-authenticated users without prompting for credentials (i want to be prompted) but it is also refused for users logged into the domain. Has anyone successfully got this to work? If so can you supply any tips for my squid.conf? Many thanks Matt [1]http://cryptoresync.com/2006/05/18/installing-squid-with-active-directory-authentication/

I run MAKEOPTS=-j1 on a Core Duo. It takes a few minutes longer than -j3 to update world, but it only takes one crash during a build at -j2 or -j3 to destroy any time that you save. I know I'm being more conservative than the Gentoo handbook, but the smoother builds are worth it.

Re: [gentoo-user] squid with active directory
Let me clarify a little bit: Before attempting this integration, I had an acl line like this: acl internal src 10.194.217.0/24 And i'm allowing that like so: http_access allow internal I'm just not sure how to change this to allow access to authenticated users while prompting for those not authenticated. As far as the guide I have mentioned goes, my kerberos and ldap are working perfectly and samba is joined to the domain. winbind is running and using the ntlm helper tests from the guide it appears that authentication for users against the AD is working. The problem is that squid.conf is a very large config file and I've only ever played with a few options (1 acl, nothing more complex). Any ideas appreciated Matt
