Subject: mtools & 720 kb disks
Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 15:59:42 GMT
I have a 720 kb formatted DOS disk which I am trying to read/write from
Linux using mtools. I do:
mdir a:
plain_io: Input/output error
init: set default params
Cannot initialize 'A:'
The disk is fine. I thought maybe the problem is that mtools can only
handle 1.44M disks with the current set-up. So I went to a mtools
web page and followed its advice and created
~/.mtoolsrc
drive a:
file="/dev/fd0H1440"
fat_bits=12
cylinders=80 heads=2 sectors=18
mformat_only
drive a:
file="/dev/fd0H1440"
fat_bits=12
cylinders=80 heads=2 sectors=9
mformat_only
Although the mtools web page said that under Linux mtools will handle
any disk... Anyway, this did not help matters at all.
Please tell me how to get mtools to work with 720 kb disks.
Thanks!
Bill

If you read his post he never mentions that it is a parallel port zip if it is
an internal zip than /dev/hdd4 could be the correct device.

Subject: resizing partitions
Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 17:43:10 +0100
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello!
I'm trying to install the Linux distribution of Sybase Adaptive
Enterprise Server on a redhat 7.0 system. Despite the fact that I'm
still something of a newbie in the world of linux, I've got through the
RPM installation procedure and should bee ready to start cofiguring the
database server. During my first shot at the srvbuild utillity that
comes with the Sybase installation I got promted for a "master device
path" which as far as I understand is supposed to be the mounting point
of a raw partition where the master database can be placed. My first
problem is that the system initially has been set up without any "raw"
partitions available and that I need to reduse the size of one of the
exsisting partitions in order to make room for a new one. Hopefully,
this can be done without destroying data on any of the current
partitions. My second problem is that I don't know exactly what a raw
partition is. I've heard about ext2fs, fat and ntfs partitions, but
don't know what type to use when I - hopefully in the near future - am
aboat to define the partition I need for my Sybase installation. However
the installation guide tells me that what I need is a character device
rather than a block device, whatever that's supposed to mean.
In order to make room for new partitions I first had to find out what I
had to work with. This is the output from the df utillity :
[root@ntekrh7 netadmin]# df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0 29229220 2369832 25374588 9% /
===============================================================================================
As far as I can see the system is set up with a two hard disk drives and
a RAID1 configuration:
[root@ntekrh7 netadmin]# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 3973 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 3929 29703208+ fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hda2 3930 3973 332640 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 3930 3973 332608+ 82 Linux swap
=============================================================================================
[root@ntekrh7 netadmin]# fdisk -l /dev/hdc
Disk /dev/hdc: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 59598 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 * 1 58921 29696152+ fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hdc2 58922 59598 341208 5 Extended
/dev/hdc5 58922 59572 328072+ 82 Linux swap
==========================================================================================
What I would like to know is how to resize my excisting partition(s), if
possible without messing up the RAID configuration and hopefully without
destroying any data. As if that was not enough I also hope that any of
you have an idea about how to define a new "raw" partition in order to
make the Sybase installation utillity happy. So far I've learned that
fdisk or parted could be useful tools in this matter, but I would really
appreciate some advise on how to use them.
Regards, Trond

Hello
I have a dual Xeon 550 machine that hangs often, somewhat randomly when
I'm doing some CPU intensive stuff. In the most recent crash, I was
heavily using only one CPU, It doesn't seem to be CPU temp related,
becuase just before it crashed, the temp was 45.5 deg. C. I'm running
RH 6.1, kernel 2.2.14 - configured pretty much the same way as another
dual 650 Pentium III which has no trouble. /var/log/messages contains
little helpful info. I am running all the same daemons as the 650.
Anyone know what's going on? In the meantime, I'm going to put 2.2.16
on there to see if that helps.

OK, I have both Win2000 and Linux running on the same computer, and I am using
the 2000's boot loader for starting them. My "C:" drive (the one the system
boots) is NTFS. Suppose you have the Linux bootsector in a file called
bootsect.lin in C:\ . From within Linux (supposing that that partition is
mounted on /nt) you can rewrite the file without modifying any of the NTFS'
structures (which is the really dangerous thing when writing) like this:
dd if=/dev/myLinuxPartition of=/nt/bsect.lin bs=512 conv=notrunc count=1
If you don't like having rw access to NTFS, mount it readonly, but let ntfs.o
with read/write support, and remount it rw only when you update the file. It is
somehow tricky, but it works!

They do? I use a script (see www.theory.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html)
I find that all these programs can cause more problems than they
solve. I understand the attractiveness for newbies, but if you run into
problems, they impose an extra layer ( about half of all complaints
about ppp are caused by bugs in these "helper" programs, rather than in
ppp itself.)

Once again: A new LILO fixes the problem *only if* the BIOS supports

It's an internal zip, and /dev/hdd4 used to work with the old kernel, so
I assume that it uses IDE interface. It's just not a block device any
more.

I don't think anyone says that multitasking is inappropriate for a real-time
task, only that non-real-time multitasking is inappropriate.
What you are saying, essentially, is that the behavior of the non-real-time
kernel is good enough for quasi-real-time applications, when the machine is not
loaded. In these applications, the occasional hiccup in timing is not
detrimental.
When someone asks about fine grained timing without stating much about the
intended application, the answers have to err on the side of caution, and
assume that the timing is critical.

i.e. the jobs done by init process can't be seen by dmesg after

What about the sched_setscheduler & related functions with a SCHED_RR
scheduling regime? What kind of latencies can one expect with that
scheme? (My requirements are somewhat less strict: my time-critical
process must be able to 'beat' at the 0.250 and .750 millesconds of
every *UTC* second, with better than 10 msec accuracy. This is currently
running on an SGI INDY, with exactly that kind of scheduling, but we
hope.. guess what...)

Hi!
I sometimes have hard times finding linux stuff/docs because of the
overwhelming number of pages on normal search engines, and most of the
times I forget to bookmark useful pages, so I can't find them later
on... As I haven't found a (good) linux-only search engine and/or index,
I had an idea of making one myself...
This is what I roughly had in mind:
A front-end like yahoo, where people can search on text strings, and
browse to certain catagories (like kernel, multimedia, networks, and
sub, subsub... catagories), and for everything the catagory
documentation and software.
People can add links themselves, and links will be rated (and get
priority in the results) according to how much people follow them (or a
rating system...)
The rating system takes care it doesn't get a mess like normal systems.
Anyone around wanna join? Mail me! help is greatly appriciated in the
following things:
- Making a db wich is accessible by both an searchengin and an indexing
system.
- Getting a large linux company to lend us a server, or in any way
getting around the financial part... (ads?)
- making the searchengine
- making a dynamic index engine
- ... you name it

You should find

in the .config file created by make xconfig if you did enable this.
