Subject: Backup scheme for RedHat 7
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 18:57:15 GMT

I just purchased a P3-800 Dell and I am getting ready to put RedHat 7
on it.  I am trying to decide on a good backup scheme and would like
input.  The two scenarios I'm leaning toward are as follows:

1) Get an IDE tape drive and make a bootable backup (is this possible?)
2) Get another hard drive and somehow make a bootable backup from this
as well.

I would like to point out that I would like to do this backup once/week
and I would like to backup my system files as well as my data files.  I
would prefer something within RedHat so I don't have to go out and buy
any more software or at least something relatively cheap.  Thanks in
advance.

Hello,

/etc/resolv.conf should look like:

search <.your_local_domain_if_you_have_one>
nameserver <IP of primary DNS server>
nameserver  <IP of secondary DNS server>
nameserver  <and so on>

For more info lookup man resolv.conf

Good luck

Subject: cdrecord needs ROOT permission
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 19:28:08 GMT

I've previously had success with X-CD-Roast 0.96e and cdrecord
1.6.1 on Redhat 5.1.  Now I'm trying to use the same X-CD-Roast
with cdrecord 1.8.1 on Mandrake 7.02.  I get these errors unless
I set the SUID bit on cdrecord, which is owned by root:

prompt> cdrecord -v speed=4 blank=all dev=0,03,00

Cdrecord 1.8.1 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 J�rg Schilling
TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM
cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot do mlockall(2).
cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns.
cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set RR-scheduler
cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set priority using nice().
cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns.
cdrecord: Operation not permitted. shmctl failed to lock shared memory segment


So, what's the RIGHT solution to this problem?  SUID is
potentially bad for security reasons.  Certainly nice() needs
to be root.  When burning a CD I can see the need to increase
the process priority to keep the FIFO full.  So, maybe root
permissions are justified.  Is there a more secure way to
implement root permissions than the SUID bit?

Thanks....

You can try Mandrake 7.02 version compiled for 486. It should work.

I use my Mandrake 7.2 with an AMD K6-2.

Yes, that's easy.. but most Access databases are not just data but a lot of 
other good stuff as well. Like VB for Access code. This doesn't run on Linux.

But then he isn't running off Linux but Windows. In my experience when somebody
ask for something "Access-like" they aren't asking to store data but for the 
whole enchilada.

For me, yes. I've tried 7.0, 7.02, 7.1, 7.2beta, 7.2 and it's always
have been a nice experience.

Easy to install, "RedHat-friendly"... but more polished (I think).

> AND is there something wrong with RH7 or is it just me?

Looks that they left some "undesired features" that never shouldn't have
gone with a non-beta release. But nearly all X.0 RedHats have been a
little "crincky".

Try it. You will not be disapointed. Check their web site for a tutorial
on the installation process (quite simple, even the "expert mode" is
quite simple.... so I install it with expert mode). Lots of stuff
greatly configured (got a CD-RW? you'll love it then). It cames with
some USB support (they kernel has been patched woth usb-backport patch).

Also, try the Mandrake Users Webring for specific help:
http://www.mandrakeuser.org/ring.html or the newsgroup

Subject: How I can do this?
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 19:45:00 GMT

Bonsoir � tous,

For installation of Oracle on my machine with 512 meg of RAM, on RH 6.2,
I must change "#define SHMMAX 0x2000000" of
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/shmparam.h file, rebuilt my kernel.
1- what is the value I must set instead of "0x2000000" corresponding to
512 meg. of RAM?
2- I'm confused about the recompilation process!
Suppose I want to maintain my actual kernel 2.2.14, when building
recompilation steps using e.g. "xconfig, menuconfig,...": what I must
select, activate or answer by "YES" in the rebuilt process to allow
changments in "shmparam.h" to be take into account in the new kernel?
3- If I want by this occasion upgrade to "kernl 2.2.18, how this will
happened? I must search "shmparam.h" in the new untar "kernel 2.2.18"
and set in it my new value, recompile, or what to do?


Thanks

I ran across this too. What is happening is that X is looking at the
XF86Config-4 instead of the XF86Config.

Delete the XF86Config-4 and X will then look at the XF86Config.

Both files do the same thing. It is just the Mandrake happened to
release with the -4 file in place.

Hi there!
It's 05:15 in the morning so the "thoughts?????" are not yet awake.
As to your second question - good for WHAT????
If you sit by single user box and have it perform the functions that you need,
that is why you invested in computer for starters, right???
If you want to chase advertisements wars of the kind "I am the best
OS/Distro/Software" and try them all
then you have a lifetime project.

But either way Linux is fun.

I am running Raid 1 on a Dual Pentium II 400 with 2 IDE drives and
have a few questions for anyone that knows. The distro is Mandrake 7.2
and I am running the stock 2.2.17-21 kernel that came with the distro.

Should I upgrade the kernel to 2.2.18? If so, does it require raid
patching? 

What is the best way to change chunk sizes in a raid array?

Are there other parameters that can be changed for tuning purposes?

What is the best benchmark tool for ata harddisk io testing? i.e. is
bonnie good or should I use something better?

What are the best ways to recover from a power failure where the
filesystems do not unount cleanly?

If I am booting raid 1, which I am, how can I unmount /dev/md0 and
/dev/md1 in order to run e2fsck on harddrive partitions?

Thanks for any answers to the above.

More information is probably needed. Are you using g++? What linux
distribution (Redhat 6.2, Slackware, etc)? Did you #include <iostream> ?
Does the error occur at object compile, or linking stage?
