Tip: Make a link from /dev/tape to /dev/nht0 and loose the
"-f /dev/nht0".
I don't know "dump", but the "mt" stuff looks OK. Maybe try
"fsf 2" or "eof".
I find "afio" does a good job, allowing your multiple usage and
compressed archives.
I use something like
find . -xdef | afio -ozZv -b 32k -c 64 -L /var/log/afio tape_host:/dev/nst0
Play with -b & -c for best speed.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To the best of my knowledge, you cannot resize an ext2 partition.
What I have done is create a new filesystem (partition). I called it
/drive2. I then put a symlink as a directory from /opt to the
corresponding directory in /drive2. For example (as root)
1. mkdir /drive2/opt
2. mkdir /drive2/opt/communicator-v451
3. cd /opt
4. tar c communicator-451 | (cd /drive2/opt; tar x)
5. rm -R /opt/communicator-451
6. ln -s /drive2/opt/communicator-v451 /opt/communicator-v451
Now the data is actually in /drive2/opt/communicator-v451, but I can
access it via /opt/communicator-v451. If you are installing a NEW
package, which will be at /opt/package, then you can simply do:
1. mkdir /drive2/opt/package
2. ln -s /drive2/opt/package /opt/package
Now do the install. This, to me, is easier than backing up the entire
filesystem, creating a new one somewhere else that's bigger, then
restoring the data.

Subject: Why was I so lucky ...
Date: Fri, 16 Apr 1999 11:23:08 +0100
Can someone explain what happened?
This is the story. I have been getting sporadic instability from my
Linux box. The PS/2 port "died, and the one serial port "died". Other
things "happened", and this all led me to think there had been a power
spike or something which had trashed my system. After a few weeks
debugging I determined that the PS/2 was definately broken, the Serial
Port was definately broken, and it seemed my SCSI CDReWriter was
misbehaving as well. I could not determine whether it was a controller,
device, or other problem.
Anyway, I decided that the motherboard had to be replaced, and if it
fixed the CDRom and Scanner, then great.
So, I bought a Gigabyte mobo yesterday, got home, powered off the box,
stripped it, and then mounted the new board, popped all the cards,
memory, and CPU in.
Wired up the switches, power, and LED's. Plugged it in, switched on, and
hey, presto, it started booting.
But ... it could not find a bootable device.
I realised, Oh Shit, that I boot off an ide hd, hda, which has /boot on
it, and some swap space, and another small partition. / is actually on a
SCSI disk ... I could not remember what I had set up as the ide disk
geometry.
So, in the BIOS I AUTODETECTED the IDE HD, and chose LBA from the LBA,
LARGE, and NORMAL choices it provided.
Reboot, and no luck.
Choose NORMAL, and No Luck.
Choose LARGE, and NO luck.
Now, I think, Shit, I can't boot, and the error messages look really
bad, Have I trashed /dev/hda?
I put the SuSE 6.0 CD1 in the CDRom, make BIOS boot CDRom first, and
choose the load current installation... (Basically a rescue disk...)
fdisk /dev/hda
there is no active partition! Toggle the partition, reboot, and no luck!
Shit!
Re-load off SuSE CD, and at command prompt, I just type "lilo", and it
wistles off with the four or so boot setups I have ... all OK.
reboot ..
and presto, the whole thing winds up perfectly.
So, the question is, Why was the MBR trashed?
Why did lilo fix it?
What could I have done to avoid it?
Otherwise, all things considdered, it went perfectly! CDROm is
"responding", PS/2 mouse works again, serial ports work, CDRom now
reports an error ;-) Haven't worked on Scanner yet.
Cheers, guys. That must be the easiest upgrade I have done, even though
I did get a fright.
By the way, I am very impressed with the Buslogic SCSI driver writers.
My CDROm is now showing a diagnostic which says "... Error 28000002:
CDRom Spindle Servo failure". Funny, if it was MS Windows, it would say
"Hardware Fault", and I probably would not believe it. With Linux it
says exactly what is broken, and I believe it.
Time to exercise a warrantee ... and buy a UPS...

Rich,
Wow, that's a tall order. Here are a couple comments based on my own
experiences.
First off, I don't think the stardard XFree86 supports any sort of dual
display functionality right now. Check www.xfree86.org. You may be REQUIRED
to run a dual headed version of Xi's X server to take advantage of your card.
I'd also check with them to see if their card has the support you're looking
for.
Further, I think you'll be fairly challenged in finding a motherboard which
supports more than 2 ISA slots these days. Most people buying new ATX
motherboards seem to value 5 PCI slots, 2 ISA, and 1 AGP slot. If you're
building a new machine, then I suspect you don't plan on using a lot of old
legacy hardware in it. Just about anything you might want to plug into such a
board these days will be PCI based, except for cheap PCI cards and possibly an
internal analog modem.
Stay away from PCI modems. It sounds like you're going to have an ISDN
connection in which case you may not need an analog modem anyway. Go to
www.dejanews.com and search comp.os.linux.networking for stuff about ISDN.
When I looked there and in the kernel documentation for ISDN it seemed that
most of the internal ISDN modem support was for European based ISDN.
Here at work we use an ISDN router. It's a Netgear RT328. You plug it into
your ISDN line, and then plug it into your twisted pair ethernet network. Set
it up and you magically have a LAN that's connected via ISDN to whatever is on
the other end. They're pretty affordable too - might make more sense than the
hassle of an ISDN "modem".
I hope this helps a little. It doesn't directly answer your questions, but it
may give you some additional insight on choosing some hardware.

This is covered in the Printing HOWTO. In short, with lpd there are
three queues: "raw1", "raw2", "raw3". With the ten-cent TCP port bit,
there are three ports: 9100, 91001, 9102.

if you have kernel 2.2.5 compile install (decompressed) (I think you might

Help...... I can't install redhat 5.2
the problem is, after I choose fdisk then I get to choose between hard
disk and jaz drive (where I want to install)
the problem:
after entering "/jaz" as mounting thing (???), the when I press OK,
it says "need to have root (/) directory in linux native format ext2 to
continue installation" or something like that.
I haven't got a clue on what this meant.
If anybody sucessfully installed red hat on jaz disk, (also for bootable
disk), or knows how to do it, PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO.
thank's
