Subject: Booting Software RAID5
Date: Fri, 11 May 2001 17:14:19 +0100
Hi.
I've followed the Software RAID HowTo as much as I could on my setup, and
it works fine, but I cannot boot from it.
Here is the setup:
4x 2 GB SCSI disks
RAID partitions of equal size have been prepared:
sda1
sdb1
sdc1
I have installed RedHat7 on sdd1, set up a md0 raid device using raid5,
which works fine if I boot sdd1, and then try to mount it.
Then, I copied all of the contents of sdd1 (bar /proc /boot /lost+found) to
md0. I added an entry to lilo.conf that would allow me to boot the RAID
setup. (root=/dev/md0)
I also modified the /etc/fstab file on the md0 file system to say that md0
should be mounted as /.
However, when I try to boot it, I get the following error. The kernel
panics, because it cannot mount root.
md: md0: raid array is not clean -- starting background reconstruction
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k md-personality-4, errno=2
do_md_run() returned -22
...
...
bad md_map in ll_rw_block
I have tried adding:
alias md-personality-4 raid5
to /etc/modules.conf and rebuilding the initrd.imgm but there was no change.
Any suggestions with regards to where I should be looking for the problem?
Thanks.
Gordan

Short and to the point. This works for me:
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/iptables -t nat -F
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.x.x.x -j MASQUERADE
(where 192.x.x.x) is the IP you want to masquerade.
this seems to work the same as:
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.x.x.x -j MASQ
This should get you Masquerading. You can play with the other options.

Which version(s) of Pmagic can actually resize ext2fs? AFAIK, it only
recognizes them - maybe can create them - but not resize.
This is actually of more than passing interest to me, b/c I am about to do a
resize on some partitions (shrinking a FAT one to make more room for the
ext2fs one), using Pmagic, but I was assuming I'd have to backup and restore.

Hi David,
I'm expecting the "ServerName" to get sent back to the client as the name of
the machine when they send in an http request.
If I've set the ServerName to www.mydomain.com and somebody types in
http://demo.mydomain.com (which is a valid DNS name for my machine), then
I'd expect the title bar in their browser to *change* to be
www.mydomain.com. This isn't such a big deal, except that I am using SSL,
and I don't want their browsers complaining about the fact that my server
name doesn't match the certificate.
I'm using the ServerName outside of any other configuration elements. It's
a very simple setup, really... After things weren't working, I also entered
another ServerName in the SSL Virtual Host, but that doesn't seem to work
either... :(
Any ideas?
Thanks.

What do you see when you mount the CD's? you should see an entire file
system and if so, the disc should all be bootable. You shouldn't just see
.iso files on the CDROM.

I purposefully avoided moving hardware or changing BIOS settings because I didn't want
to disrupt my "stable" windows system on the same box.
Some motherboards allow you to configure the IRQs per slot.
Some BIOS's allow you to disable ports you aren't using and that can shift IRQs
around.

A few comments (feel free to comment/correct anything I say that in any way
moves you to do so):
1) Partition Magic should *not* be re-writing your /etc/fstab - that
to me just sounds way too hinkey. Nor should it be trying to fix
up your vmlinuz file (or LILO) (*).
2) I think you have to assume that the user has a rescue floppy and
knows how to use it (to edit the fstab file and re-run LILO).
3) I'd like to know what bugs and features were added to PMagic
between version 4.0 (the last version I have) and whatever is
current? Is it worth upgrading? (And don't give me the stock
answer of "yes, you should always use the latest version of
everything")
4) Is it safe to use version 4.0 (build 4.0.102) to resize/move a
(relatively small) ext2fs partition?
(*) Can anyone comment as to whether certain versions of PMagic *do* try to
fix your fstab file (automatically) ?

You're probably running out of space in the /var directory somewhere.
Look for old copies of logfiles in /var/log (usually old copies have a
number appended to them like foolog.1 foolog.2, etc.)
Just be careful not to delete something unless you know you don't need it
or an unhappy system may result!
I would then add space to / as soon as you can or perhaps even split /var
off into its own partition.

Thanks for the advice, those who have responded.
The above was basically what I'd tried, that and variations thereof.
When all is said and done, I think it just can't work in a Gateway
machine with the network adaptor on the motherboard, at least using a
2.2.x kernel. I tried it on another Gateway in the same office -
different IRQ (9), same result. But in a third (non-Gateway) Linux box,
the 2977 is quite happy. So that's where it will stay.
Probably I'll end up picking up an external modem for the first machine.

First, to answer your questions:
1. The working and non-working installations have the same kernel.
I tried both of them with the following kernel versions:
2.2.4 2.4.0 2.2.16
The kernel version did not have any influence on the problem.
I changed between both installations with chroot but this did not
solve the problem.
dmesg | grep Serial returns:
Serial driver version 5.02 (2000-08-09) with MANY_PORTS SHARE_IRQ DETECT_IRQ
SERIAL_PCI enabled
the following two lines might also be interesting:
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
thost values are ok I think.
The wvdial version is 1.41 and it works perfectly on the working
installation.
2. cat /proc/pci prints the following:

4. It is a standart serial modem. A 3Com U.S. Robotics 56K Faxmodem.
It works perfectly on the working installation, but I wanted to get
rid of the working installation since it is a slackware bigslack
installation and takes 2.1 GB on my FAT32 filesystem and it makes
scandisk run sluggish with its thousands of files.
5. setserial -ag /dev/ttyS* :
/dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte

closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte

There were some more results returned, but I want to keep this answer
short. And I am sure my modem is on /dev/ttyS0.
6. wvdial is not using any port so far since wvdialconf does not
find any modem. It should find /dev/ttyS0. This port is being scanned,
but it returns:

But you said you were able to fix this problem with a kernel upgrade and
some
utilty files needed along with the new 2.4 kernel. This sounds interesting
and
this might actually solve my problem. I am sure that the problem is not the
kernel driver but the utility files might help.
What were those files and where did you get the hint and/or the files from?
I would be really grateful if you could tell me

You didn't burn the CD properly. Programs like 'cdrecord' take the iso
image and use that image to create a bootable CD with the complete file
system.

Yes. One possibility would be to use chronyd -r -s when you boot up
after you have synchornised to a net ntp source withe chrony while the
system is up. chrony will correct for hardware clock errors. (Howver I
have never tested if it will work for a system whose hardware clock is
years out)
chrony keeps a log of how far off the hardware clock is from real time.
Note that the system clock is independent of the hardware clock, so once
the system clock is set (eg using date) the hardware clock is
irrelevant. It is only used on bootup to set the system clock (whichis
what chronyd -r -s but correcting the time at the same time.)
