Have you run e2fsck. It sounds like you have files of
zero length. You have to run it from an unmounted file system
aka boot single or rescue disk. Check the man page
but I use force like 2efsck -f /dev/hda or whatever disk is screwed.
Reiserfs shouldn't do that but it's in module form so you need a
2efs for boot.

Subject: Re: Is nfs incompatible with proper use of a UPS?
Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2001 11:27:42 +1100
Okay Peter, I will try again. Indeed I hope it is an 'administrator error',
that way with your help I may be able to fix it.
First of all, I may be confusing in my use of the terms nfs client and
server. I mean these in their normal sense, namely the nfsd is running on
the server. What may be confusing is that our key nfs clients are our
central servers, protected by the UPSs. The 3 nfs servers are local linux
(and in one case irix) servers, assigned to specific user groups, and
containing their (rarther large) home directories. These are unprotected by
UPS. Same goes for the switches between them and me.
Now these home directories are needed on our main central linux servers for
a number of reasons, the two most important being that they have web
material and are often accessed by the users with ftp. We run ftpd and httpd
only on the central servers. This is solved by simply nfs mounting the
remote filesystems which contain the home directoies on one of the central
servers. Hence it is an nfs client.
All very good, and it works okay. But what happens in the event of a power
outage. We get these from time to time in Melbourne. The whole network loses
power. All computers go down, except the central servers protected by UPS.
If the outage is prolonged, they will then try to shut down. But, they stall
at the point in the procedure when they try to unmount the nfs drives. They
try to contact the nfs servers, but get no reply. So they wait. Eventually
the battery power runs out and they die, still not properly shut down.
(My comments about our previous difficulty are not totally relevant. In this
case their was no power outage - in fact the main problem was an
intermittent fault in a power supply on the server. I think problems like
this will in future be simply dealt with by a manual interupt now that I
have put intr into fstab.)
The power outage scenario problem remains. It could be solved if I could
configure the system to undergo an 'emergency shutdown' instead of the
standard one on UPS signalling. In other words, to break any hung nfs
connections as part of the script. Sould be possible as we have the intr
option enabled. But I am not really a programmer.
I do not see how IP aliasing can help here. Perhaps you could explain.

There is no problem with nfs clients going down before the server! It is nfs
servers going down before the client as above.
(A longer term solution would be to physically move all home directoires
onto the central servers and share them out to the remote machines.The main
problems here are political - I don't even really think those systems are
needed, but having bought them, they want to store their files on them!! I
would simply moves the hard drives).
Thanks for any help you can give.

See section 7.15 of the manual for the following, as well as
more detail:
FIELDS [OPTIONALLY] ENCLOSED BY controls quoting of fields. For output

I don't know what advanced editor is, but I have no problems
copy'n'pasting between X apps, except for GGI-based ones.
Left-button to highlight/copy. Then middle-button (left&right) to
paste it wherever you want. (Sometimes when cutting and pasting

The US _government_ thinks it can issue patents on algorithms. They,
unfortunately, are not crazy. Anyone else in the US who understands the
issues and does not have a vested interest in the IP cartel infringes such
patents whenever possible as a matter of civil disobedience.

Decryption keys are numbers. Even US IP law does not allow anyone to own a

He is dealing with a _source_ tarball. From the alien man page:
Do NOT run alien on tar files with source

If he wants to use alien he should compile the package, build a

Because Slackware does not ship the most recent versions of the bin86/dev86

release.

The problem is not LILO; the problem is booting beyond cylinder 1023. Add
"lba32" to you lilo.conf file. If your BIOS can handle the EDD bios calls,
then you will be able to boot.

The confusing bit is that you refer to your "central servers" as
servers, whereas they are indeed NFS clients, as you say. It would
be less confusing if you avoided the word server completely when
talking about them!

I.e., your clients stay up, servers go down?
That's backwards. One normally expects the servers to stay up.
What will happen in this case, undeer NFS v2, is that the clients will
suffer badly from "stale file handle" when the server comes back up.
In addition, if you are running default NFS options, then the clients
will also hang uninterruptibly during the outage. If you don't want
that, just use the appropriate mount options (you know what they are:
you've had it mentioned repeatedly in this thread!).

There is no very good reason for you to configure them to wait if the
network connection between them is reliable.

It's perfectly possible. "Man heartbeat" (install it first).

To unmount an nfs server that has died, alias for the nfs server first.
Then umount it (you need to run an nfs server and portmapper, but only
trivially).

now i did, and now it works.
i was just confused about why
the 2.2.16 kernel worked even
when it was not in /boot.
i guess 2.2.16 just happened to
be below 1024, and 2.2.18 above
even though they were both in the
same partition.

I have a disk part of which contains some OS2 (HPFS and DOS) partitions and part ext2
Linux
partitions which I am putting into a computer with dual boot OS2,
Win and Linux. Those OS2 partitions on that disk of course totally
mess up the drive labeling in OS2. I do not at present want to
destroy the data on those OS2 partitions on that disk (hdd). Can I
just retype them for now as ext2 partitions(which hide them from
DOS/Win.OS2) and later if I want the data back, rename them as HPFS
and FAT types.
Ie, does changing the type in the partition table do anything to the
data? So that if I change the type from HPFS to 83 (ext2) and later
back to HPFS, will the data on that partition have been altered in any
way?

They're looking for people who are running news servers. These scans began
when @Home was threatened with a UDP (Usenet Death Penalty) last year for
allowing too much spam through unauthorized servers on your network.
Other types of servers (www, ftp, etc) don't seem to be picked up on these
scans. While they're still against @Home's AUP, you only get in trouble if
someone reports you to @Home.

The common view would be some combination of a) and c); something
along the lines of:
- It is _impossible_ to objectively define the characteristics of an
"objectionable" site, in much the way that censorship laws have had
difficulty coming up with criteria to define what "obscenity" is.
- Software products that _claim_ to block porn sites either do so
"successfully" by using such a vague definition of "porn" that
they'll block a whole lot of other legitimate material or try to use
things like IP addresses, with the associated dilemmas of:
a) Blocking sites that have OK stuff because the site hosts some
people with both "legitimate" and "illegitimate" material.
b) Them deciding to censor material that the "censor" objects to,
independent of whether it has any inappropriateness.
In effect, anyone that _claims_ to have a good product is probably
being 'economical with the truth,' and if they're not being honest
about that, this calls into question whether you can trust their
product to do what they claim it can do.

The notable program to do "blocking" of material on Linux is
Junkbuster, available in prepackaged form for many Linux
distributions, and findable at <http://www.junkbusters.com/>.
It stores lists of "things to block" in a text file, and changing this
requires _no_ "coding in procedural languages," but rather adding
lines like:
playboy.com
penthouse.com
xxx*sex*.com
to the "blocklist" file.
It may not be the perfect answer, but you should _not_ stay in the
mistaken belief that managing this requires "procedural coding" as it
most certainly does not.
<http://www.waldherr.org/junkbuster/> has some further relevant links,
and has a sizable sample "block list" listing a whole bunch of
patterns to block images that various people found annoying:
<http://www.waldherr.org/blocklist>
That list isn't oriented towards "sexual censorship," but rather
towards getting rid of "annoying ads."
You can find other sample blockfiles by searching Google...
<http://www.google.com/search?q=junkbuster+blockfile&num=10>
See also the link:
<http://proxys4all.cgi.net/archive/junkbuster2.txt>
It lists a whole lot of sample block lists.

If you are using ipchains as a firewall just get it to block ports
