What is 'it'? The examples? Some webapps you make? All JSP pages??
to get the examples into /jsp :
cd $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps

Subject: Dell 120T DLT-4000 Autoloader w/Robot - Control?
Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 03:16:00 -0500
We've got a Dell 120T DLT-4000 autoloader which was purchased with a Dell
Poweredge 2450 dual-Pentium server (very recently) preloaded with RedHat
Linux. So far, we've found no reliable way to utilize this tape drive.
Dell has not been able to help, either.
The Arkeia software originally selected had the annoying habit of crashing
the server during backup operations. Hardware was ruled out by Dell tech
support... so the problem is in the software. So Arkeia was ditched in
favor of simpler backup methods, since our needs are modest. The unit was
placed in sequential mode, and loaded with tapes for daily backups using
cpio or tar or an fbackup-type program. However, this necessitates
resetting the sequence (to the beginning) manually every Monday. Management
wants this automated...
So the one remaining problem is how to control the DLT autoloader...
specifically, how to reset the sequence under software (or command-line
script) control. Does anyone here know how to do this simply? Or does
anyone know of a *reliable* and *cheap* backup package that can handle this
DLT autoloader properly?
Our management is annoyed that they've purchased a $6000 tape unit and
cannot utilize it... and they aren't willing to shell out thousands more
trying to find software to run it... *sigh*

Hi there
I am running RedHat 7.0 with VA-Research kernel 2.2.18pre11-va1.1smp
on an SMP box with 2GB of RAM.
All memory is available but the second Gig stays unused all the time.
I would expect that it would be used by disk cache buffers
when a disk-intensive DB application is active.
(The database size is about 7GB.)
So: is there some way to to make Linux use all avaialble RAM?

The driver for IDE is probably compiled as a module. It should be in the
kernel, in order to be able to access any IDE-device at boot-time.

I'm using RH 7.0 in the same way as you on a mixed Win/Linux/Apple network
(nightmare) The machine i'm using as server is an intel BX440 etc with 2
PIII 750 and o/b SCSI but to save money I have an IDE CD-RW from Samsung.
The whole setup works pretty well. Don't be afraid to save money!
As far as backups go i've written a script that 'tars n gzips my files then
invokes mkisofs and finally burns the CD with cdrecord. Seems to work
alright. I haven't tried integrating with backup packages coz i like to
hack things myself!
Hope this helps

Thanks. I am REALLY going to have to learn Perl. Here was my shell kludge
(I worked out how to do this today):
for file in *.*
do
strings -a -f $file | tr -s '\n' '|' | sed -e
s/[Cc][Oo][Pp][Yy][Rr][Ii][Gg][Hh][Tt].*[Mm][Ii][Cc][Rr][Oo][Ss][Oo][Ff][Tt]/XXXXXXXX/
| tr -s '|' '\n' | grep -B2 -C2 -i 'copyright' >> output/fulllist
done
strings -a -f $file strips the strings out of the binary file. tr -s '\n' '|' converts
all line breaks to a dummy character "|" (this is so sed can operate over
multiple lines). sed then finds any occurances of text such as Copyright
... Microsoft and renames that text as XXXXXX. The line breaks are then
reconstructed. grep then processes the changes to determine if copyright
notices remain. They will remain if Copyright doesn't match with
Microsoft.
:-)

Has the kernel been compiled with High Memory Support:
'If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
possible.'
...
'The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
kernel at boot time.)'

Subject: configuration problem with 2.4.2 and reiserfs
Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 11:51:22 +0100
Hi group,
I'm trying to compile a new kernel 2.4.2. My hard drives
are formated with reiserfs, so I try to compile reiserfs into
the kernel. I'm using xconfig to do that.
But there is a problem. In the menu 'File Systems' the
item 'Reiserfs support' is grey. It doesn't give me the
possibility to choose y-m-n.
On my hard disk there is a directory /usr/src/linux/fs/reiserfs
full of *.c files. So xconfig should find it.
What did I miss? Is there an option I have to check first?
Can anybody help me, please?
Thanks in advance

Hello Mike,
I experienced more or less the same thing when I first tried it in ATAPI
mode. It tries to mount, but it hangs for a long time and says bad
superblock or device already mounted, bla bla...
I don't think it's a motherboard problem, but a question anyway.
My mainboard recognizes the drive as Pio Mode 4, is it the same on your
system?
I guess the burner just doesn't mount normally under 2.4 kernel. BTW, have
you tried it under 2.4.1 or 2.4.2?
I will write to Plextor support. Let's inform each other about this when we
get to somewhere.

Bora

Ah, I see. Well, your usage pattern is not one for which minicom is
designed. Talk to the author (michaels?) and ask him to unlock the
device definition in the config menu. That should be a one-liner,
although some other frilly changes might be necessary to move it into
the user config instead of the admin config file .. but there's no
need for that.

The argument is over compartmentalization. I say it's good

No reason. I do it because I don't want to go to the trouble of
refinding all those hard to get utilities, or refixing all the authors
errors I corrected once. Someone who has invested no effort need not
protect it. They'll lose about 2days work. I'd lose several years

You want /usr on a separate partition just so you CAN easily replace it
from the distro. If you kept a list of yoru installed packages, it
should be easy. If the /usr and / partitions are mixed in with /home,
then what happens when you get to the bit about "do you want to
reformat the partition"?

These are two major functionalities yes. They also importantly serve as
"version control". You can restore a change. But I am not too much
bothered by backups here. That's only one thing that partitioning helps

Because of what's discussed in the howto. You want as small a root
partition as possible, thus decreasing its chances of damage in ANY
circumstance. You may think it's easy reinstalling a distro, but belive
me, it's miles easier reBOOTING you root partition and selecting
"update" or "check and fix" from your distros setup utility.
That implies separate / and /usr. (a 64MB / is way big enough if
/opt is somewhere else). Then we get to /usr/local which will
contain your "extra" software - the stuff that didn't come with your
distro. If no haveee, then no worree.

Errorrrrrrrrrr.
There might be a boot param for activating only one cpu of two in an
smp kernel. Have a look in the BootPrompt HOWTO. Personally I'd
boot a UP kernel. Note that you second CPU is number 15! Shume mishtake
shurely. Take the mobo back ...

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi,
a small part of the local network here looks like this:
REST OF LAN
|
| (router eth1)
|
masquerading
router (kernel 2.2.14)
|
| (router eth0)
|
desktop (private IP)
box (kernel 2.4.2)
I wish to have broadcast traffic from the desktop box go out to the rest
of the LAN and vice versa however I seem to be coming up against a
problem that I believe may have been discussed previously.
Sending icmp broadcast echo requests out from the router will go
correctly to the external interface however doing the same from the
desktop box results only in a reply from the router and itself, even
with explicit host entries in the router for 255.255.255.255 to go via
eth1.
It would appear a discussion along these lines has come up before
however I am not able to find the eventual resolution which was given
previously. Basically I want to do some kind of transparent proxying but
only in this specific case.
I expect someone will point out that this is all due to some idiocy of
mine somewhere and that it's easily fixed but either I'm too tired to
see it or it's not as easy as it seems.
Sorry to bother people,
--jcm
