Subject: Creating a spare boot disk
Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 16:37:50 -0000
RedHat 6.1 i386 (2.2.12-20)
Dear All,
I'm setting up a Linux-only PC for use as a web proxy cache.
The machine has 3 disks - a 20G IDE and two 18G SCSIs, with
the IDE (system disk) partitioned as follows (LILO in the MBR):
Name Flags Part Type FS Type Size (MB)
hda1 Boot Primary FAT16 2146.80
hda5 Logical Linux ext2 24.68
hda6 Logical Linux ext2 15611.59
hda7 Logical Linux ext2 838.98
hda8 Logical Linux swap 542.87
hda9 Logical Linux ext2 526.42
hda10 Logical Linux ext2 526.42
hda11 Logical Linux ext2 106.93
hda12 Logical Linux ext2 57.58
hda13 Logical Linux ext2 106.93
What I'd like to do is keep duplicates of the / (hda13),
/boot (hda5), /usr (hda7) and /var (hda11) filesystems on one
of the SCSI disks, in the hope that I would be able to boot from
that disk in the event of a total system disk failure. I do
this sort of thing with IRIX and Solaris; is it possible under
Linux with my configuration?
The "spare" disk is partitioned as follows:
Name Flags Part Type FS Type Size (MB
sda1 Primary Linux ext2 17330.67
sda5 Logical Linux ext2 16.46
sda6 Logical Linux ext2 49.36
sda7 Logical Linux ext2 501.75
sda8 Logical Linux swap 254.99
sda9 Logical Linux ext2 49.36
(I'd use 5-9 for the copies; 1 is part of the cache).
Presumably, having copied /, /boot, /usr and /var to the SCSI
disk (which would also have a swap partition), I could load LILO
from my boot floppy and then tell it to boot from the SCSI disk.
But...
a) Would the SCSI disks be visible at that stage? Or would I have
to do something like build the scsi drivers into the kernel, then
make a boot floppy for that kernel?
b) What LILO command-line would I use to boot from a different disk?
If there are docs/FAQs dealing with these issues, I'd be grateful to
know where they are.
I have another more fundamental problem (with Linux, not personal...)
I tried using dump/restore to copy / to the SCSI disk:
dump -0 -f - / | ( cd /mnt ; restore -xvf - . )
where the spare fs is under /mnt. But, restore seems to stumble over
symbolic links, eg.
Create symbolic link ./etc/X11/X->../../usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_Mach64
extract special file ./etc/X11/X
restore: ./etc/X11/X: cannot create special file: Invalid argument
The restore finishes untidily:
Changing volumes on pipe input?
abort? [yn] y
dump core? [yn] n
and I end up with an incomplete copy.
Again, any help would be appreciated, even an RTFM if you can
tell me where it is...
TIA

Reply-To: "crazy eddie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Dear Linux Users,
I recently acquired a copy of Stormix " rain edition " 2000 ( Storm
Linux - based on the Debian distro. ) My Linux box is as follows:
FIC VA-503+ motherboard
64Mb SIMM EDO RAM
20GB COMPusa / Maxtor HDD ( UDMA 66 / 5400RPM )
Pioneer 32x8 CD / DVD-ROM
SMILE 15" 1996 monitor
Microsoft serial mouse
AMD 450 K6-2 processor
My question is: during installation after selecting and detecting my
hardware / networking / monitor / etc. it continues onto the HD partioning.
It displays something to the affect of arranging INODES. This is where it
hangs up! It will get anywhere from 20% to 90% complete and just freeze.
Other occurances have included completely loading and when rebooting to
finalize the procedure it only says the infamous " LI " at boot time.
I have been to www.stormlinux.com and reviewed their help section pertaining
to such an occurance. They suggest changing the HD mode, testing with LARGE,
LBA, and AUTO. I haven't gotten around to this since i am a student and got
frustrated with it, i had to cool down after buying a few hundred $'s worth
of new parts and i can't even get my OS to work! :>)
Anyone know what could be the cause of such an error? I also get some weird
overflow on the screen. I will be installing using either the text /
graphical interface and then the screen will fill up with awkward text boxes
and information , or what looks like reference numbers to HD locations.
I don't know too much about Linux. I have installed Linux-Mandrake 6.0 last
fall but would like to try this Storm distro. Can anyone help a fella out.

Which windows? I'd expect it be better than NT, probably not better than
Win95. Haven't run Win98 on such a small setup, so I don't know about
that.
Caldera uses the KDE desktop, which is a bit of a memory pig (but very
featureful). Even so, it should run reasonably well for most things
provided you give it plenty of swap and don't expect blazing speed.
Netscape, esp with Java enabled, will probably be a disappointment though.
Also, if you can stand running in 8-bit color that will free up some
memory.
If you used a simpler desktop/window manager (e.g. fvwm), it would run a
lot better in 32 MB (at the cost of some GUI functionality).

Just because you installed JDK 1.2.2 does not mean that
your browser supports JDK 1.2.2. The latest versions of
Netscape and IE do not support JDK 1.2.2 on any platform.
To get JDK 1.2.2 support in your browser, you need to
install the Java Plugin 1.2.2. I don't think that
JDK from Sun includes the plug-in, but the Blackdown
project recently released a port of the plug-in, see:

Subject: Problems with Red Hat 6 on Laptop and System Commander
I've just installed Red Hat 6.0 on my laptop along with Win98 - on a 6GB
drive. I am using System Commander (3.07) to manage booting to either
OS.
If I only boot to Win98, there are no problems. But when I reboot after
using Linux, the computer hangs and won't boot at all. Turning off the
power doesn't help either. I can't even boot from a floppy or CD ROM.
I need to remove the drive and fix the boot configuration on another
computer to get things working again.
What is Linux doing that it corrupts the System Commander boot
information?
Thanks,
Galen

You can't. I suppose you could run 2 or more X-servers on different
virtual consoles, each at a different color depth, but that would require
a lot of memory and such.
>2. How can I resize the virtual desktop?
Huh? Do you mean "virtual desktop" in the sense that KDE and GNOME do, or
do you mean "virtual screen" in that your monitor only displays a portion
of the actual screen and you have to move the mouse around to see the
entire screen? The second case causes problems for people; the virtual
screen is always the size of the largest resolution you have defined in
/etc/XF86Config. Generally, you want to define the resolution you spend

Insert the following lines in /sbin/init.d/boot.local or

/usr/bin/setleds -D +num < $tty

Take that boot disk and make sure that FDISK.EXE is on that boot disk. On
Win98, FDISK.EXE is in C:\Windows\Command\Fdisk.exe so if you can find a
computer with Win98, you can just put that boot disk in the drive and COPY
C:\Windows\Command\Fdisk.exe A:\ ... then boot your machine from that
floppy and FDISK /MBR .
When you decide to try again, don't put LILO in the MBR. Put LILO in the
bootsector of a Linux partition and mark that partition as active. This
is the reccommended approach....

A journaling filesystem keeps a record of pending operations on the disk.
This way, the filesystem is always either in a "safe" state, or if it's
not, the journal indicates the few areas where problems might exist. (Of
course, it's much more complex than this internally; it's not a trivial
matter to implement.) The result is that filesystem checks (the equivalent
of e2fsck in Linux or CHKDSK or SCANDISK in DOS/Windows) are very fast,
even on big hard disks.

guash is a plugin which you can download. I've done it and
installed it, which I think just meant putting it in the
appropriate gimp directory. I'm also afraid I don't remember
where I found it, but I certainly started from the gimp
web site, www.gimp.org. It didn't take me too long to

It works fine by the way.

I'm not sure what you mean by a startup disk. Under Windows,
a startup disk allows you to boot a floppy based version of
a very restricted version of Windows, really just an up to
date DOS. It allows you to do a few basic repair operations
if you can't boot Windows from the hard disk.
Under RedHat 6.1, you can create a boot floppy by using the
mkbootdisk command. See the man page for details, but
the command would take the form
mkbootdisk 2.2.12-20
if the kernel in /boot has the numerical extension 2.2.12-20.
If it has a different extension, use that.
The boot floppy lets you boot the full version of Linux you
have on your system. For example, it can be used to fix
problems associated with lilo configuration. When using this
boot floppy, you may find you have to wait an extremely long
time to boot. Give it at least 20 minutes before concluding
it doesn't work.
The boot floppy also allows you to boot in rescue mode, but
you need a separate rescue floppy not available in RedHat 6.1.
The RH6.0 rescue image does work and you may be able to find
it somewhere. Also, in principle you can use the original
installation media to boot in rescue mode by entering
linux rescue
at the boot: prompt when using that media (installation floppy
and/or CD). But this system is extremely limited and only
real Linux experts would be able to use it successfully.
There is a very good rescue system provided at
www.toms.net/rb/home.html
Rescue systems allow you to boot a freestanding version of
Linux in a ramdisk which is independent of what is on your
disk. If you know what you are doing you can repair many
problems.

Should be:
mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 2.2.12
where "fd0" is your first floppy and "2.2.12" is your kernel version.
You have to be root to do this.
Look for information on mkbootdisk with
man mkbootdisk.
