Can someone tell me who sets up the /net directory on a Mandrake 7.0
system. I have a good feeling it's the inet daemon - but I need to know
specifically. I've just recently turned off all inet services (telnet,
ftp, etc)and the "/net" directory began to hang. Whereas before, I was
able to list the root directory and the /net directory, after the inet
daemon was turned off, any execute action on the root directory or /net
directory will hang the terminal. I'm guessing something tried to mount
a non-existent device to the /net directory.
What I need to know is who tried to mount what device to the /net
directory and how do I prevent it. Does anybody kow anything about this
problem?

Subject: Only 8.4GB can be used on 40GB disk
Date: Fri, 09 Mar 2001 23:59:00 GMT
Hello,
I have a old Slackware machine of unknown version running on a Dell
Workstation 400 to which I've upgraded the kernel to 2.2.18. We've needed
extra disk space to augment the several SCSI disks we have in it. To cut
costs I bought a Western Digital WD400 IDE drive. I'm quite sure the BIOS
recognized it, because it shows up on POST.
I fdisk'd it, and made it one huge partition and used mke2fs to format
and make the filesystem. Afterwards, it shows up as approximately 37 GB
using df. When I start writing data to it, it hit about 8.4GB then
complains about 'no space left on device'.
I'm aware of some of the limits that IDE drives are known for. And I read
the Large Disk Howto, and the page on problems with 33.8 GB limits
(http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Large-Disk-HOWTO-12.html#ss12.1)
It noted that the problem should of been fixed with kernel 2.3.21. I'm
sure that if 2.3.21 fixed the problem, it would be fixed in 2.2.18,
right? Or do I need to compile the 2.4.x kernel to support this? Or is
it something else?
Thanks in advance,

As far as I know, the "/net" directory actually belongs to the automounter
(autofs). This is where file systems can be automatically mounted onto and
off from the system in question. Certainly, under the Solaris environment in
a networked situation, the /net directory is used quite often. I am quite
sure that Linux wouldn't need to use the /net directory for anything connected
to the "inetd" daemon.

Well, mount operations can only be performed as root, so if you actually
remove the "autofs" package from your system and you don't give out the root
password to anyone, then no one can mount a file system onto the /net
directory. However, if memory serves me correctly, the /var/log/messages
should contain a list of successful mount commands.
See ya

Subject: Re: Can LILO boot windows MBR on /dev/hdb?
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 01:14:39 +0000
Have not had your problem Laurent as my kit is too old but think I can
help. Terminology is often confusing here. I got an ooooold Slackware
distribution from a demo CD from 1996 or sometime and that had lots of
documentation about LILO that came with it in .tex format in the
/usr/doc/lilo directory (sym. link to /usr/lib/lilo on mine), using the
makefile makes .dvis and then dvips makes Postscript that I viewed with
Ghostview in X. It was really interesting, nicely laid out and
helpful. Can poss. email to you if needed.
Basically MBR is just one of the different types of boot sector. They
are all a bit like the one you get on the first sector of a floppy (even
"blank" or "data" floppies have one but it usually does nothing but
print the message "Non system disk" and hang). Most (all?) partitions
on a HD have a boot sector, also the disk itself has one. This last one
is the MBR. Many of these boot sectors also contain a partition table
in their second half on top of the bootable code in the first half.
Different OSes have different stuff in the boot sectors. The DOS MBR
code looks to its partition table and looks for the active partition
then loads that partition's boot sector and executes it. This is why if
you have left the "normal" DOS MBR on your main drive you have to use
either DOS or Linux fdisk to change the active flag if you want to "boot
from another partition".
So basically the MBR is only relevant on your main disk but if it's a
DOS MBR then it can't boot something on the second hard disk which is
where lilo comes in. As I understand it you've got Linux somewhere on
your main disk and Windows 95 somewhere on your second disk? If this is
the case then leave the DOS MBR on the main drive and have it boot lilo
on your linux partition. Then configure lilo to either boot Linux or
Win95 from the 2nd drive. It will be irrelevant what is on the MBR of
the second drive. If you are paranoid and want to set it back anyway
then proceed as Steve suggested then when Windows 95 is running from the
second drive you should be able to use FDISK /MBR to replace the DOS MBR
on that disk. I haven't tried this myself though because my second
drive contains only my WinNT with 100% NTFS so I can't do it!
Good luck.

You upgraded the kernel, how about upgrading e2fsprogs, fileutils
and all the other pkgs that deal with files. Your
/path/to/linux/Documentation/Changes file should help
you out.

Subject: rebuilding kernel broke my CDROM drive!!
Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2001 17:27:38 -0800
I'm using kernel 2.0.36, and have had no problems in the past, mounting and
reading CDROMs (Joliet format). Recently, I had to rebuild the kernel; I
didn't change anything in the configuration scripts, I just rebuilt it.
Now, I can no longer mount CDROMs... first of all, isofs.o isn't getting
loaded at bootup, and even when I manually load it, I still get:
> mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
I've tried comparing with a second machine that I *didn't* rebuild on, which
can still read cdroms, but I can't see any difference between them (once I
load isofs.o). I know it's not just a bad drive, because ALL of the
machines that I loaded the new kernel on, all have the same problem.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong??

Have also done similar myself and it worked. Thanks to all yooz for
your help on this stuff.
Next problem is that whilst NTLDR menu is nice I can't now reset the
default! I've got the same sort of boot.ini you describe below but when
it runs it has another mysterious line that appears in the run-time menu
below all the others called "NT (default)" or somesuch which is *always*
the one highlighted, no matter waht I set the default= option to! It
doesn't correspond to any of the lines in boot.ini as there are two
perfectly normal, bona-fide Windows NT 4.0 lines in there just like your
example below. Final insult is that if I let this mysterious option run
it hangs with the error "following file is missing or corrupt
...\WINNT\SYSTEM32\NTOSKRNL.EXE" !!! In order to make *anything* work I
have to quickly use the up arrows and select either Linux or one of the
bona fide Windows NT 4.0 entries which then work as expected.
Can anyone suggest what's going on and how to fix it so I can get back
to (at least) a default of Windows NT 4.0 !!

>Does anyone have any idea what's wrong??

You use mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom and so /etc/fstab is being ignored
and the default filesystem type is (usually) ext2fs ...
mount -t iso9660 [...] /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
... now since a CDROM is usally read only you need to specify ...
mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
... and no, I'm not going to believe you it had been working just that
way until you re-compiled your kernel.

The dell 610 runs Linux quite well. Most likely the raid controller is not
supported. Dell preloads Linux on these systems, BTW. I have one at work
with two processors, a gig of memory, and lots of scsi disk real estate
running redhat 6.2. We also have one in a lab which runs SuSE 7.0 and I
have used debian 2.2r0 on one before.

Considering that its choking at 8.4GB, that makes me think it is a BIOS
limitation. Does the BIOS show its correct capacity? Is it set to LBA
mode? How old is the BIOS on this machine anyway?

I can hook up my compaq ipaq (still running wince; but soon to have linux on
it), to my home network using a CF ethernet card and cruise the web, get
newsgroups via a tool like inkspot, or telnet to other systems on my home
network. If you mean synchronizing to a linux box, you could do that if you
are running something like VMware. YOu can sync pocketpcs using ethernet if
you have setup the partnership with the pocketpc using usb/serial first. I
also can plug in my orinoco wireless card and be on my dsl line quite
easily.
I don't think that there is a way to sync the contents of your calendar
since the outlook component on the pocketpc wants to sync with outlook.
There are lots of other things possible though that can heighten the use of
pocketpcs without a windows system to sync to.
I like my ipaq very much. The screen is quite beautiful and its very fast.
I also have a TRGpro (palm OS) which I can sync to my linux box quite
easily.

No guarantees here :) I think you can move on to debian prime or you may be

Try to logon to single mode or emergency mode;
reboot your linux box, then at 'Lilo Boot:' prompt enter 'linux single' or
'linux emergency'.
try also 'linux single initrd='
If none of the above works, there is always a backdoor into lilo.
