Re: RAID in Linux (was Re: SCSI and EIDE)
Ricardo Kleemann [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Few questions: 1. can raid0/raid1 be done on either scsi or ide or both? The linux md driver is software, so it doesn't care what the underlying block device technology is. You just give it block-device partitions to turn into a RAID device. These partitions can (at the least) be on SCSI or IDE devices. It dosnt' matter to the md driver. 2. what's the difference between raid0 and raid1? From /usr/doc/mdutils/README: Raid0 does a classic (and rather efficient) striping on disks (i.e. contiguous blocks on the md device are spread across real devices). It gives rather good performances on SCSI disks, specially with concurrent disk access. There's no limitation on disks sizes (i.e. sizes can be different, md will cope with this). Raid1 adds mirroring to raid0 striping. Note that it is not complete yet (no rebuild tools, error trapping is incomplete). It's also known to be rather slow when writing. From the same source: Since MD pre0.31, RAID-[15] have been removed from the main distribution, because of pathological unstability... and for the kernel integration of linear and RAID-0 modes. 4. How does one go about creating an md device? Would it automatically mirror a non-md drive into the multiple devices? Get the debian mdutils package install it, and read the docs. -- Rob

NT and Linux
[cc'd to debian-user since this info may help someone else.] Joe Russack [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: (I'll be running NT in a few weeks, when the full release comes out. If you feel like typing up the info, that might be nice, but it's not critical yet...) I'll save you a few days of aggravation. If you're in the Silicon Valley area sometime you can buy me a beer ;-). Under no circumstances run NT's disk administrator to format partitions. It asks if it can write a signature which will cause absolutely no harm. When it did this, it hosed the partition table and neither NT nor Linux booted afterwards. Therefore, you'll probably be limited to one FAT NT partition unless NT 4.0 fixed these things. Also remember that even if you do get the Disk Administrator to work, you'll want at least one small FAT partition to use as a staging area for exchanging files between Linux and NT. If I read my notes right, the following is a fine distillation of many days and nights of pulling out my hair to get things working: 1. Install Linux (hold off on installing everything until you win the Linux/NT battle). Do all your disk partitioning in Linux, including your NT partition (make it FAT). I was not successful at making more than one NT partition. I also made it the first partition, but I don't know if that is essential or not. 2. Add the linear flag to /etc/lilo.conf, change boot=/dev/sda (I was not successful at installing LILO on the Linux partition--/dev/sda3 in my case) and run lilo. I may have had to use ignore-table along the way. See also fix-table. The LILO HOWTO is your friend. You'll have to use the editor ae. You'll live. 3. Save the MBR with this: dd if=/dev/sda of=/floppy/MBR bs=512 count=1 Use a floppy. Trust me. Also do this each time you change the disk partition table. 4. Install NT, part 1. When it goes to reboot halfway through the process you'll boot into Linux. 5. Add NT stanza to /etc/lilo.conf, e.g.: other=/dev/sda1 label=NT table=/dev/sda and run lilo. 6. Reboot, select NT from LILO, and finish NT install. You'll need the Boot Disk XU, HP Vectra AIC 7880 Driver A.01.02 floppy to install the ethernet drivers and the XU/VT Drivers and Documentation CD (directory video/disk4 if a recall correctly) to install the video drivers for the Matrox MGA Millennium. 7. Back to Linux, run fdisk and ensure you don't get partition doesn't end on cylinder boundary on your Linux partitions. You'll still have this error on the NT partition though, but this seems to be OK. /dev/sda111 322 3293016 DOS 16-bit =32M Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(321, 39, 9) should be (321, 63, 32) Cfdisk reports strangeness, but it seems OK: Unusable 0.04* /dev/sda1 PrimaryDOS 16-bit =32Mb 321.59* Unusable 0.39* If you do get the cylinder boundary warning, you'll need that MBR you saved previously. Clear and restore the MBR (but not the signature) with: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 dd if=/floppy/MBR of=/dev/sda bs=510 count=1 8. Install the rest of Linux. Easy, huh? If you have problems trying to get NT to write the MBR instead of LILO, you may have to resort to the following to clear the MBR first: a) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1 (in Linux) or perform a low-level format with the SCSI utilities. I've heard that a low-level format of an IDE disk is fatal, so don't do it. b) fdisk /mbr (you've obviously already created a DOS boot disk that contains fdisk). c) delete NT partition and create it again in NT install. d) continue with NT install.

Re: [Fwd: Virus Alert]
Robbie Honerkamp: Not true. You can't get a virus from reading an email message. Not true. The Good Times virus is a hoax, but it is possible to get a virus from e-mail, in some circumstances. Some e-mail systems allow the sender to tag the contents as being plain text, HTML, C source code, a shell script, and so on. This is not something that MIME invented -- it existed well before MIME. It's a good thing, since it allows programs to handle mail more intelligently. However, stupid people can also write mail user programs that automatically run a program that comes in e-mail. Even more stupid people use such programs. For example, I've seen a procmail rule that was essentially like this: :0 * ^Subject: runme | sed '1,/^$/d' | sh For those who don't understand procmail's syntax, this takes every letter that has runme in the subject and runs its body as shell commands. Very, very dangerous. I've been told that some Windows mail programs have something similar built in (if you receive a Word document, they automatically run Word and load that document -- Word documents can contain powerful macros that are run automatically when the document is loaded), but I haven't verified it. GNU Emacs had a similar feature (certain magic lines in a file could run any Emacs commands automatically when the file was loaded -- and Emacs commands are powerful indeed). So it's quite possible to get a virus from e-mail, but you have to either be wantonly stupid (if you install a dangerous procmail rule), or just ignorant that the program had the capability (what do you mean you didn't read the footnote on page 481 of the technical reference manual you must buy separately?). For more information, you might want to search the RISKS archive (see the comp.risks newsgroup). Notice that the original post came from AOL.. :) Not everyone from AOL is stupid. I've exchanged mail with an AOL user who wrote C compilers to cure hangovers... Most AOL users are new on the net, and they're clumsy, silly and sometimes irritating, but there's some very shrewd people on AOL as well.

Re: RAID in Linux (was Re: SCSI and EIDE)
Hi guys,
starting a new thread about the subject... ;-)
I'm still trying to get a grip on this...
Few questions:
1. can raid0/raid1 be done on either scsi or ide or both?
2. what's the difference between raid0 and raid1?
3. what exactly does it do? Does it mirror data accross multiple devices,
and if so, how does it maintain the data in all devices?
4. How does one go about creating an md device? Would it automatically
mirror a non-md drive into the multiple devices?
Please read the manpage for the 'mdcreate' utility. It answers all of these
questions. That said, I'll attemt to exlain it in my own words.
raid0/raid1/linear are currently functional raid personalities that can be
used for any block device. floppy+ide+scsi+zipdrive+whatever. I don't know
if you could use a ramdisk, but I wouldn't be surprised. ANY BLOCK DEVICE.
So, for my computer, I have:
/dev/hda hda1(1mb) hda2(90mb) hda3(50mb) hda4(60mb)
/dev/sda sda1(45mb) sda2(265mb) sda3(7mb)
/dev/sdb sdb1(45mb) sdb2(265mb) sdb3(7mb)
Long story on the reasoning behind this, but anyway, /etc/mdtab contains:
/dev/md0 raid0,4k,0,72e5f713 /dev/sdb1 /dev/hda6 /dev/sda1
/dev/md1 raid0,4k,0,7b8942ce /dev/sdb2 /dev/sda2
Which gets me an output of 'df' as follows:
LightHouse~:$ df
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda2 89183 79028 5550 93% /
/dev/md0 149794 13167118123 88% /home
/dev/md1 515289 45853930134 94% /usr
(the 50mb partition on ide is swap).
Notice I am creating a /usr partition that is bigger than any one of my
drives alone, and also am using ide + scsi on the /home partition.
[ a note to those who would suggest I'm crazy to swap on ide when I have
scsi-- my ide is 2x faster than my scsi disks because they are VERY old ]
[ a note to those who wonder about the 2 unused 7mb partitions on my scsi
disks-- the 2nd scsi disk has problems reading the last 7mb of the drive
and causes lockups. So I decided to partition the drives around the 'bad'
blocks. ]
Anyway, raid (or multiple device, md) in linux has 3 personalities availble
at this time:
linear = appending all the block devices together. So if you had
md0 = /dev/hda1 + hdb3 + sda, the blocks would be accessed
in this order:
/dev/hda1 = { block1, block2, block3 }
/dev/hdb3 = { block4, block5 }
/dev/sda = { block6, block7, block8 }
raid0 = software disk striping. So if you had
md0 = /dev/hda1 + hdb3 + sda, the blocks would be accessed
in this order:
/dev/hda1 = { block1, block4, block7 }
/dev/hdb3 = { block2, block5 }
/dev/sda = { block3, block6, block8 }
raid1 = software disk striping + recovery; I am not certain of the block
layout but it is similar to raid0 with not as much physical space
available due to some data redundancies
So, when I was booting off /dev/hda2 on my machine, I simply typed:
mdcreate raid0 /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 /dev/hda6 /dev/sda1
mdcreate raid0 /dev/md1 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sda2
And now, upon bootup, I simply type:
mdadd -ar
Which activates the md devices. At this point in time I am able to fsk and
mount the /dev/md* just as if they were hd*'s or sd*'s. They are a block
device, like any other.
Honestly, you will get the idea when you toy around and start planning to do
your own raid'ing. Especially when you grab the md utils and compile them,
while they compile you can read the man pages and you should have no problem.
It is actually fairly simple to use.

This could be used as a simple 'get-you-up-and-running' install tool, then once the system was set up, the user could use dselect for the more advanced solution.

PPP and kernels
I guess best way to describe my current status with Debian is that I am
still in process of moving to Debian from system that was originally based
on Slackware 3.0.
Anyway. I installed Debian 1.1.4 without too many problems and got
everything basically working (fvwm95, emacs and PPP as most important
pieces). At that point, I wanted to compile my very own kernel and
downloaded Linux-2.0.13 sources and compiled it. All seemed to go
beatifully, but for some reason it broke my PPP.
Reason why I am asking this here instead of some generic Linux groups is
that when I copy that linux 2.0.13 image to my old slackware partition and
boot it, PPP works just beatifully. While on Debian side, only way to keep
things working beatifully is by sticking on boot disk.
To give you more exact view about problem, here is sort of description
about problem and below is configuration file that was used on kernel
compilation.
Quote from my ppp-on script:
pppd /dev/$DEVICE $SPEED
echo Started pppd 12
IP=
while test $IPx = x
do
echo Waiting for IP address 12
sleep 1
IP=`/sbin/ifconfig | /usr/bin/grep -1 ppp0 | /usr/bin/grep inet addr|\
/usr/bin/awk '{print $2}'| /usr/bin/awk 'BEGIN {FS=:} {print $2}'`
done
While running this on Slackware or with boot disk, it usually goes around
something like 3-4 times before information gets into ifconfig. With my
2.0.13 on debian, I wait 25 lines and cancel it at that time. Once I tried
rsh command from other virtual console and got response that network was
unreachable.

Re: Warining from make xconfig ... (fwd)
I got essentialy the same message while preparing to compile a non- Debian 2.08 kernel. I conclude from this that whatever the problem is, it is not a Debian problem. I don't know if the resulting config file is really broken or not, but I did not take any chances. I used menuconfig. It is almost as nice, and does not produce the broken message.

runq zombies
My system's been running for about a week. I've started to notice lots of
runq zombies (from smail, I guess):

I was able to get rid of killing the zombies by killing runq processes
that were their parent(?) processes. Anyone else seen lots of runq
zombies?

Re: how to put ifconfig in startup script?

Hello;
After messing up my XDM and essentially locking myself
out of my system for a while, I have become interested
in setting up my ethernet card from a startup script.
Does one put the ifconfig and route statements in the usual
rc.inet1 and reference it somehow from rc6.d, or what?
I appreciate any suggestions here; the NET-2 HOWTO seems to be
geared toward the Slackware kind of system.
In a Debian system, these statements should go into /etc/init.d/network.
It contains a small script to be customized.
Here's a copy of mine:
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig lo localhost
route add -net localnet
IPADDR=207.104.147.129
NETMASK=255.255.255.248
NETWORK=207.104.147.128
BROADCAST=207.104.147.136
GATEWAY=none
INTERFACE=dummy0
[ $INTERFACE != none ] \
ifconfig $INTERFACE ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} \
route add -net ${NETWORK}
[ $GATEWAY != none ] route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
Note that I have no default gateway (diald sets up its own).
