... although closely associated, they are distinct. Linux uses a lot of
GNU concepts and utilities, but Linux describes the Kernel which was not
directly contributed by the GNU organsiation, at least not enough for
them to claim a form of ownership.

this might be a little late, but the suprasonic is two modems in one card. they
are having trouble getting it to PCI because PCI slots only use one irq, this
isa card uses two. anyway, the shotgun software is mainly a monitor for the
existing win95 DUN connection. it activates the second modem when necessary and
with call waiting it will disable it for phone calls to come in. the DUN (1.2?)
uses the MPPP standards that are documented in one of the RFCs. sorry, but I
don't have a url handy... since it is a standard someone might implement it on
the Linux platform. note that MPPP has nothing to do with hardware at all.
anything you can do with the supersonic & shotgun, you can do with plain modems
also. (although shotgun software will only run on diamond modems & it may not be
able to detect call waiting on other modems - since it won't work on linux this
is meaningless...)

Now "I know" why they suggest that you "NOT" install nfs-root clients in
Linux.
After perusing many many megabytes of rpc.nfsd -d fhcache messages it would
seem that a file handle is some number generated by the host. When a client
requests to see a file that resides on the host it uses it's own file name
initially. The host looks up in the cache to see if the file name already has
a handle-number attached to it. If it does and it is belongs to another client
it is deleted and a new handle-number is generated and passed to the new
client. When the old client tries to access it's file using the old
handle-number... I don't know what happens exactly but the result is "STALE
FILE HANDLE" operation aborted. That can be a boot-up operation, a shutdown
operation, or any operation in between when two or more clients reference
filenames similarly.
We have 3 clients 192.168.50.3, 192.168.50.4, and 192.168.50.5 labled
respectively 3, 4, and 5. I am currently typing on 5.
It would also appear that NFS-FILE-HANDLES are defaulted to be removed after 3
minutes of inactivity if unused. That is how I can be typing now on client 5
while clients 3 and 4 are also active.
If two or more clients attempt to run "BOOTPD" or "BOOTPS" or "INIT" or "TOP"
or who knows how many other programs at the same time concurrently on this
system these programs will fail. If you are patient however... 3 minutes at
least, depending on your rpc.nfsd timers, it is possible to get them all up
and running.
Here's the configuration:
Host 192.168.50.1 has hard disk with directories in / named
/tftpboot/192.168.50.3/
/tftbboot/192.168.50.4/
/tftpboot/192.168.50.5/
each of the above directories has the following subdirectories:
"/bin /boot /dev /etc /home /initrd /lib /mnt /net /proc /root /sbin /tmp /usr
/var".
Only the directories "/proc /usr /home" are empty. The others have useful
programs, control files, system specific device files, libraries and other
such phemomena required by a running Linux operating system.
The problem (it appears) is that when two or more of the clients require the
same file name "/sbin/init" at the same (within 3 minutes give or take) time a
"STALE-FILE-HANDLE" situation occurs. This can give rise to a few different
symptoms.
1. On "shutdown -whatever (now/or whenever)" you may get "INIT: PANIC:"
"SEGMENTAION VIOLATION! GIVING UP..".
2. On Boot-up... you may... or... may not! With various disconcerting and
spurious results identified in subsections below.
a). Modules will not load therefore access to File Systems ETH0, FAT, VFAT,
MSDOS, ISO9660, ...etc will not occur.
I). Normally this will only occur following a Kernel compile and a make
modules install thus having the distracting effect of making you think that
somehting went wrong with the Kernel or module compilation. When in reality is
was simply that you booted and ran init up to point where libraries were
linked and the stale (recent) usage by another computer 3 or 4 caused 5 to
miss something. If only I could be patient for just 3 minutes.
b). Various NFS mounts such as "/bin /home /lib /sbin /usr" fail to occur
even though they previously appeared to mount on certain occasions.
I). Normally this will only occur following some modifications to
"/etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/exports, /etc/services, /etc/fstab" or
some other inocuous file that affects the NFS access system. Thus allowing you
to percieve that the fault must lie in the changes that you have just
incurred. Beware... the real reason was because "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network"
initaliaztion script... access's a file called
"/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0" among others and for some reason
yet unknown a stale (recent) file handle got deleted causing the network
initialization to fail "somewhat" and all of the ARP cache is now gone
forever!.
3. On running various programs that require files in the
/tftpboot/192.168.50.x/ file-directory system you can get simultaneous
"STALE-NFS-FILE-HANDLES". Even though they are not stale at all. They are
actually quite recent and have probably just been deleted.
This all seems to occur because RPC.NFSD cannot distingush the difference
between "/var/run/utmp" and "/tftpboot/192.168.50.5/var/run/utmp" and
"/tftpboot/192.168.50.4/var/run/utmp" and
"/tftpboot/192.168.50.3/var/run/utmp". They all look like "/var/run/utmp" to
RPC.NFSD.
I have recently been trying to find WWW.NFS.NET to see if maybe there is some
source code to be had or a patch for this particular problem but "WWW.NFS.NET"
does not now seem to be alive. Does anyone know if there is a mirror site
around?

No, it was faster because the people who performed the tests chose to use
IIS's fastest scripting option and Apache's slowest.
Likewise they went way back in time to find a version of Linux that is not
compatible with the server hardware, but used the latest version of NT,
which is.

that's still much slower than the linux client: my i150mmx does ~40h/block

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I installed Red Hat 5.2 with kernal 2.0.36 and then decided to build
2.2.7 At boot up, it reports that the kernel is still 2.0.36
In /boot there is bzImage (from the build) and also vmlinuz-2.0.36-0.7
In usr/src there is a link linux ->linux-2.2.7
there is the directory linux-2.2.7
and the old linux-2.0.36 directory
In the dir linux-2.2.7 there is a file vmlinux, nearly 14 megs!
This is my lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos

image=/boot/bzImage

read-only
Is there a command like "ver" to indicate what build you are running?
Is there anything obviously wrong with my set up? I can't see why it
shouldn't be running 2.2.7
please reply to the ng, but could you also e-mail a copy

Now for more information that may actually help the guy solve his problem...
I don't generally use the 3com cards on my linux machines, but I know that some
of the 3c509b cards are just plain flaky and don't work correctly. But try
these suggestion first:
Open the file /etc/conf.modules in your editor, and you should see a line like
this:
alias eth0 3c59x
If your /etc/conf.modules has something else for the eth0 alias, then the system
is using the wrong driver. Change this line so that it looks like this one and
type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart" and see if you get a "Delaying eth0
initialization" error message.
If you don't get the "Delaying eth0" message then the driver was initialized ok,
now this is what you should see if you run the ifconfig program and tell it to
display the settings for the network device:

If you don't see something like this when you use the ifconfig program, then
something more serious is wrong. Post any error messages you get to the
newsgroup (or e-mail them to me) and we can go further into the problem.
If the ifconfig program works, but you still can't ping the other box, then
something else is going on. e-mail me for more help.

Normally, a new kernel is built in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot. Check
the dates/times of all the kernel files carefully with ls -l.
Meanwhile, the version is displayed with 'uname -r'.

Well, someone in their marketing group told me back in January that
there was a G2 project for Linux, but not to expect anything this
year. I think their internal communications could be improved.

I should have stated in my previous posting the following:
Aside from the problems mentioned... everything else seems to be working very well.
This only occurs for NFS-ROOT mounted clients. Once a host directory such as/lib is
mounted to /tftpboot/192.168.50.x/lib... the "STALE-FILE-HANDLE" problem disappears.
I am also only aware of this problem occuring on a Linux Host running the previously
mentioned revisions of RedHat and rpc.nfsd.
The client generates the handle "/var/run/utmp" and passes it to the host which looks
for the file in the clients mount tree and assigns a handle number. This handle number
is then used by the client in subsequent file i/o operations to acces the file. When a
second client attempts to access a different "/var/run/utmp" in a different mount tree
(from the hosts point of view) the host gets confused and delete's the prior clients
file handle. This is probably the correct thing to do when two clients are accessing
the same physical "/var/run/utmp" in the hosts directory tree.
Curiously George, and I don't know why?
