Subject: NFS problems under 2.3.99-pre9 kernel
Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2000 12:43:35 -0500
I have recently upgraded my RH 6.0 nfs server machine to use the
2.3.99-pre9 kernel but still at RH 6.0 . I am exporting with knfsd a
file system to a number of other RH 6.0 boxes and a few SGI boxes.
Everything functions fine with the mounting and creating or modifying
files on the client. However when a user tries to mkdir on the nfs
mount from the client, both the client and the server (2.3.99-pre9
kernel) hang. Both systems become unresponsive and the server does not
even shutdown properly from the reboot command. I do have NFSv3 enabled
on the server but the clients are told to mount using v2.
The logs indicate a kernel error
kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual
address 00000008
kernel: printing eip:
kernel: c01729a5
kernel: *pde = 00000000
kernel: Oops: 0000
kernel: CPU: 0
The same error occurs regardless of the OS of the clients. I have tried
knfsd 1.3.2-1 and 1.4.7-7 with the same results. I have not
encountered anything like this before and a search of various Linux
(likely not all) comes up empty. Has anybody seen and fixed this
before?
Thanks for any pointers to solutions.
Todd.

Subject: Re: MTU speed
Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2000 12:49:47 -0500
Larger would be better, but the media and protocols require a
max size. Now if you set the MTU too large, the system may have
to send more packets. You can find your systems sending twice as
many packets as with an optimal MTU setting.
The reason not to just use the max (1518 for Ethernet I think) is that
new technology adds extra headers or encapsulates an entire frame
(packet) within a frame, thus increasing its size. If the original
frame was already the max size, the system would have to split the
frame into two. IPSec, ISL, VPN are some technologies that add to
the frame size. Knowing that the technology you're using adds X
bytest to the frame, and the underlying network supports a MTU of Y
you should change the MTU from Y to (Y-X).
Tricky, isn't it?

I have been pulling my hair out for two days trying to figure out what
was causing raid errors when trying to create certain devices. I have
finally figured out what was doing it and am posting this message as
help to anyone else encountering a similar problem.
The error was such:
mkraid /dev/md2
mkraid: md2 active -- run raidstop
raidstop /dev/md2
raidstop: md2 no such device
The raidtab was such:
...
raiddev /dev/md20
...
raiddev /dev/md40
...
raiddev /dev/md50
...
raiddev /dev/md2
...
The mdstat BEFORE the creation of md2 was such:
md20 : active raid0 ...
md40 : active raid0 ...
md50 : active raid0 ...
The problem was such:
There is some kind of a FEATURE in mkraid that looks at /proc/mdstat to
see if the metadevice exists before it attempts make the devices which
is good. But the search is done as 'md2' instead of 'md2 ' and a match
is found because md20 does exist in mdstat.

Why, then, does the RedHat Linux 7 Reference Guide give the Warning in
Appendix D:
To create a dual-boot environment on a system that currently has NT,
you must install LILO on the first sector of the root partition,
not the MBR.....you will either need to use the boot disk, or
configure the NT system loader to boot LILO from the first sector
of the root partition....

Just remember to do rdev, depmod and lilo. That's all I can think of.

Does dmesg show that both were recognized? If yes, create
a mount point for it and mount it as the device that was

My guess is because of the number of ppl who write in
saying that they have deleted Linux but when they reboot
they still get lilo. Using NT's bootloader alleviates (spl?)
this problem.

Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2000 19:02:10 GMT
I'm _trying_ to build a firewall/router on an old 486/100 with 32MB of RAM.
It has an NE2000 clone card, which has been working perfectly. I added a
3c509 as 'eth1'.
On boot, the 'ne' module is loaded, and all is fine. The '3c509' module
doesn't get loaded, so the card is not initialized. I've been through the
scripts, looked at the HOW-TOs, and still can't figure it out. I _can_ get
it working if I log in as root, 'insmod 3c509', and 'ifconfig eth1 up'.
I suppose I could modify the scripts to do the 'insmod' step explicitly.
However, isn't that being done somewhere else? I'd prefer to understand the
problem and fix it "The Right Way(tm)", rather than use a brutish kludge.
Any ideas?

Unless 2.2.17 fixes a problem you are having, or has a feature that
you need, there isn't really a reason to upgrade.
My motto is: If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
(It took me a long time to learn that, though.)

I think this is a fundamental DNS issue that MS Proxy can't and won't
handle. I had a similar problem in my home lab when I set up Proxy
Server and tried to bring up a Linux machine.
I remember reading somewhere (maybe Proxy Books Online?) that in order
for a Unix system to "see" past the Proxy, you need to have a local DNS
server up and running.
Well I didn't have another machine for DNS so I scrapped the Proxy
Server and set up a router running NAT. This fixed the problem.
Also, I was experimenting with VPN's through the Proxy Server as well
and could never get them to work until the Proxy was gone.

I'm using KDE. I'll check dmesg when I can. I'm not going to have a
chance until this weekend probably.
I'm a bit confused on how to create a mount point, and mounting a
device to it. Is it as simple as creating a directory
mkdir .../dev/fd1 ("fd1", since I already have "fd0")
and then using
mount .../dev/fd1
or something like that?
I haven't quite grasped the "mounting" concept.

Actually, you almost have it.
You create an empty directory, typically /mount/devicename
and then mount the physical device in the /dev directory to it.
Edit your /etc/fstab file to have all the information required so that you can
just use the command;
mount /mount/floppy2
instead of requiring root to use
mount -t msdos /dev/fd1 /mount/floppy2

Mind to edit your /etc/fstab, otherwise linux will try to mount /home on

Subject: sound issue
Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2000 16:00:43 -0500
i just noticed that i no longer have sounds in gnome. i can play audio
cd's and us xmms for mp3's, but there are no system sounds anymore. i'm
not sure when it happened exaclty. i checked the sound configuration
and have checked both 'enable sound startup' and 'sounds for events'.
but, when i go to the 'event's tab and try to play a sound file...
nothing.
i even re-ran sndconfig and i can hear linus and the piano, but still no
sound in gnome. i created a sybolic link from /etc/sysconfig/sound ->
/etc/sysconfig/soundcard as suggested elsewhere, and still no luck.
i have system sounds in kde, just not in gnome.
any ideas?
