Subject: Network Block Device; File Size = 0?
Date: Tue, 7 Sep 1999 17:04:34 -0400
I have two machines. Both are running 2.2.12.
I want one to serve as a nbd-server for a device that's about 500MB. (I'm
just doing a test)
I want the other one to serve as an nbd-client for that device.
I installed the latest nbd-server and nbd-client on both machines.
(nbd.12.tar.gz) I compiled the client machine's kernel with NBD support. I
did a:
mknod /dev/nd0 b 43 0
On the client to create the network block device.
I'm running the nbd-server from inetd. When I use the nbd-client from the
client, I get:
Negotiation: ..size = 0
And nothing is logged. On the server, this is logged to the info.log and
daemon.log (RH6.0 systems):
Sep 7 16:21:10 nw02 nbd-server[18803]: connect from 216.69.192.201
Sep 7 16:21:10 nw02 nbd_server[18803]: connect from 216.69.192.201,
assigned file is /dev/sda1
Sep 7 16:21:10 nw02 nbd_server[18803]: size of exported file/device is 0
When I try to write to the /dev/nd0 on the client, it reports that there is
no space left on disk.
Why is by server /dev/sda1 ...
/dev/sda1 1 64 514048+ 83 Linux
being exported with a file size of 0?
Any help? Thanks so much. All the best --
Ted

Yup, too bad tar doesn't have something like the -C option that tells it to

The point of putting it in /bin is that the root filesystem is available
before /usr, so you can use any tools you put in there for system recovery
if something really bad happens.
Besides, /opt and /usr/local/src are, as you said, conventions. People
don't have to follow it (and I rarely do).

Because you have no guarantee that X is running an capable of displaying stuff.
Having it on console lets you debug it, just as logging in from another
system and starting X remotely to view the output in a shell. Useful.

You should try Midnight Commander. cd'ing into
ftp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] you can select multiple files or
directories and copy, move, delete like in an ordinary file-system on
your system!
And this ftp-client can serve as a great file-manager as well :)

Yes they are compatible. You can use rsh or telnet to go from
one machine to the other (either direction). You can also run
X11 applications (graphical stuff) on one machine and have the
windows show up on the other.
NOTE: Some IRIX X11 apps use a propietary SGI graphics protocol
called GL. GL apps can't be displayed on Linux. OpenGL apps
can, but you have to buy an XServer that supports OpenGL. The
run-of-the mill X stuff (netscape, xterm, whatever) will work
fine in both directions. GL and OpenGL are for 3D stuff
generally.

I have two cd rom drives in my SuSe system, the first one is a generic
40x IDE device which is attached to the primary slave channel. and my
second one is a Acer 2x6x CD-Writer, it also works on an IDE interface
and is attatched to my secondary master channel. My problem is I can
only use my 40x with linux, by using mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom, how do I
get Linux to reconize that I have 2 CD-Rom drives, and how do I mount
the second one? I'm pretty sure Linux can access my CD-writer drive
because it works in the Yast linux setup program. And is there any
special thing I need to do to use the CD-RW with my Linux CD creation

I think I broke a few of my libraries. When I try to compile Glib 1.2.3
(for Gtk), I get a lot of undefined reference to a lot of things
starting with _pthread. When I try to compile WindowMaker, I get
undefined reference to something in libX11. This all started after I
installed glibc2.11 (i'm using slackware, it only came with libc 5) and
gcc 2.95.1 (i compiled gcc right after installing glibc2.11, and it
compiled fine). Help me!

Is there any way to easily recreate the entire /home/ftp/ directory

At the time, libc5, was the only stable libc available, so once
it was created, Real saw no other reasons why to update it, I believe.

Only problem with this, is that G2, is linked against glibc-2.0.
It tells you to re-link, and dumps core, with glibc-2.1.1. Going to try
glibc-2.1.2 later, as the announcement for it, states it should be
compatible with glibc-2.0.

At the risk of looking really dumb, are you sure that you have a console
defined in your /dev directory? After my first install of Slackware from a
really old CD that I borrowed from a friend, there was no console defined in
/dev. Why, I don't know, but once I did a makedev for it, things looked a
lot more informative during the boot process.

Could also be running out of file descriptors. I had a server that was
also running named (bind 8.1) and it was opening a couple of file
descriptors for each virtual interface. There were over 150 of
those...ouch!
Telling named to just listen on one IP got rid of that problem.

Yes, none of your old (libc5) libraries -- e.g., the X libraries --
are useful with glibc-2.x. You should read the documentation in the
source distribution; the FAQ is also online at
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/glibc/glibc-faq.html .

OK, that's fine for NULL pointer de-references, what about (the more
typical), invalid pointer de-reference, one that points into the middle
of a PTE for instance ?
The point is not that there are ways in Linux that a driver might not
corrupt the kernel. The point is that in QNX there is practically no
way that a driver can corrupt the kernel (the exception being a
protection violation in the interrupt handler of the driver). As you
mention, interrupt handlers are usually small (on the order of 20-40
lines of 'C').

Again, "depending on what happened..." you might be able to re-start the
driver. In QNX you can almost always re-start the driver (the above
described exception applies here also).

but personally, I find dejanews[etc] extremely useful as a research tool.
So to anyone who does not make a habit of flaming newbies into dust, I
would recommend and request that you do NOT have an x-no-archive header.
It greatly reduced the value of your post to people who just happen to
read the newsgroup 2 weeks after you post, instead of 2 days after you post.

What really pisses me off is that most software continue to use /tmp or
$HOME/.app-name instead of $TMPDIR. $TMPDIR isn't even "standard" on
lynx. It has $LYNXTMPDIR, which can be set to $TMPDIR in the lynx.cfg
file.

I've been considering chmod'ing /tmp to 0 and seeing what breaks, but the
amount of time that'll take is daunting. Hopefully, people will get around
to doing that before I do and start submitting patches... *hint,hint* :-)

Are you hoping or just being insulting?
Look, if you want to invest in Linux IPOs, then you have to keep in mind
that Linux is not yet mature, it is still developing and changing. You
want to look at companies that have track records (keeping in mind that
past performance does not indicate future performance) of making
advancements that are accepted by the Linux community, that can keep
abreast of events in the community and can fill some niche or need in
the real world without overextending themselves. You might think of
other qualities, but surely these are things a business admin student
can handle.

Hi,
Does anyone know of a solution for using ATI 3D 128 under XFree86? I don't
care about speed. Just make it work in any mode.
Thanks,
Guy.
