Re: USB disk fails when accessed after idle for some hours
On Thursday 29 January 2009 18:52:08 Reid Priedhorsky wrote: ClamAV 0.94.2 signatures . All, I have a USB disk (a 320GB Western Digital My Passport) which is exhibiting the following problem. When first hooked up and mounted, it works fine. I've successfully transferred 100's of GB onto the disk. However, if left idle for some hours, it fails when accessed, with a spontaneous USB disconnect and reconnect of the device (log excerpts below). Some hours later, it still gives immediate I/O errors when accessed (e.g. with ls), but unmounting and re-mounting the drive makes it work again. (It might have also needed a physical unplug and re-plug once, but I don't recall for sure.) It is a 2.5 disk with no external power supply, just power from USB. This happens in multiple port group and multiple cables. I have another USB disk, this one a 3.5 IDE drive which I installed in a USB enclosure myself, that does have external power, that works with no problems. Now, the unmount/remount cycle suggests that I could perhaps work around the problem with automount. But, if the disk is just plain defective, I don't want to paper over the problem. I wonder if the computer can't provide enough power to run the device (it exceeds the 500mA/port limit, though that was NOT clear in the newegg description). However, if that's true, why does it only fail after a long idle? Thoughts? Many thanks in advance, Reid This looks similar to a problem I have with a 500G Toshiba drive.

The rogue network provider regained connectivity for about 12 hours on Saturday by making use of a backup arrangement it had with Swedish internet service provider TeliaSonera. During that time, McColo was observed pushing as much as 15MB of data per second to servers located in Russia, according to Paul Ferguson, a security researcher for anti-virus software maker Trend Micro. The brief resurrection allowed miscreants who rely on McColo to update a portion of the massive botnets they use to push spam and malware. Researchers from FireEye saw PCs infected by the Rustock botnet being updated so they'd report to a new server located at abilena.podolsk-mo.ru for instructions.

The user and group are www-data, and iirc the default permissions on /var/www

For example I do the following:

What do you mean by I see the interface changing. does it change with every
reboot? or is it now called eth1 where it used to be eth0.
If it's just that it got renamed, then I'd remove the first interface
in /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules and change the second one
from eth1 to eth0

The eth2 Ethernet device works fine if I add it to /etc/network/interfaces.
I'm running the standard Debian Etch kernel and modules.
Any ideas why the adapter is showing up as eth2?

Roy,
I believe it's doing this because the network card has a different mac address
to the previous machine (albeit virtual)
Have a look in the following file:
% cat /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
You should see lines like the following:
# PCI device 0x14e4:0x1677 (tg3)
SUBSYSTEM==net, DRIVERS==?*, ATTRS{address}==xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,
NAME=ethx
where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the mac address and ethx is the device name
just delete all ethx lines and then on reboot eth0 should be eth0 again...
HTH
PS. I had a similar issue recently also with VMWare and this solved it ;)

Re: OT: Re: Firewalling: best approach?
Greetz, Firstly I'm only top posting to keep with the flow... secondly, I agree with Mark, I've used shorewall and found it really easy to use especially when you are lazy++ like me... After installing shorewall apt-get install shorewall shorewall-docs you will need to set: Firewall:~# vi /etc/default/shorewall Now simply change startup = 0 to startup = 1 save, and exit. Shorewall configuration files are stored in two separate places: /etc/shorewall stores all the program configuration files. /usr/share/shorewall stores supporting files and action files. On the Debian package version of shorewall, /etc/shorewall is rather empty. Luckily, we're provided with default configuration files in /usr/share/doc/shorewall/default-config Since we will need to use these config files to actually make Shorewall work, the first thing to do is to copy them over to /etc/shorewall: Firewall:~# cp /usr/share/doc/shorewall/default-config/* /etc/shorewall/ Now our /etc/shorewall directory should have default copies of all the config files. Next we modify a few of them to get our firewall in basic working order. I'm only going to cover the basic configurations necessary to get the firewall working. Please read the documentation in each config file you edit so you can fully understand what each step is really doing! Taken from: http://www.cyberdogtech.com/firewalls/firewall/ Take a look at that website it has a couple of nice tips... also read the conf files, that should help alot aswell :) Good luck M. Maas wrote: Hi, Listen I don't want to be an ass... No really.. I don't! But would the use shorewall not make it easier? Or even the IPcop distribution? Seriously, I'd like to know the reasoning behind choosing the manual route instead of a easier automated one. Thanks, Mark Bradley Alexander wrote: I am trying to configure a firewall, but nailing down the configuration is eluding me. The box is running Debian stable. I have tried with iproute2 (I'm including a description below), but not gotten the intended effect. I have tried the lartc list, to no avail. A friend of mine suggested setting up a virtual server for one set of interfaces and running the other set on the native machine. Which is the best approach to this? Muddling through the iproute2 configuration, or the virtual server route? If virtual server, which would be the best one? Qemu? Xen? VMware player or server (Free as in beer, but not is in speech)? Basically, I have a rackmount server with six network interfaces (2 onboard and a quad card). eth0 is the internal network, eth1 is a kiosk network, eth2 is a DMZ/wireless network. On the outbound side, eth3 is a DSL connection and eth4 is a cablemodem connection. What I am trying to do is route all internal traffic out the DSL connection (eth0 to eth3), and the two dmzs, kiosk and wireless out the cable connection (eth1 and eth2 to eth4). Thus far as I have been unable to get this to work. For the sake of the discussion, the internal network is 10.1.1.0/24, the kiosk is 172.16.1.0/24 and the dmz/wireless is 192.168.1.0/24. The dsl line is 1.2.3.4 and the cable line is 9.8.7.6. I added the following to rt_tables: 1 internal 2 kiosk 3 dmz then created a script ip rule add from 10.1.1.0/24 table internal ip route add default via 1.2.3.4 dev eth3 table internal ip rule add from 172.16.1.0/24 table kiosk ip route add default via 9.8.7.6 dev eth4 table kiosk ip rule add from 192.168.1.0/24 table dmz ip route add default via 9.8.7.6 dev eth4 table dmz When I run this script, it does not do what I expect, especially after running the firewall rules atop it. I thought I had it nailed, but it wasn't working as expected, and I really couldn't test very well. I'm hoping some kind soul on this list might have a few minutes for an email exchange to help me get this sorted out. If so, please email me off-list. I'm sure its probably something that I overlooked, but I'm at a loss as to what. Regards, --b -- *Clifford W.

Redirect hostname to internal box
Greetings, Firstly I'm not sure if this is the right place but here goes: I'm using Debian 3.1. I have dyndns with wildcards enabled, and I'd like to have traffic to a specific hostname directed to my internal webserver. e.g. phpsysinfo.example.com - firewall intbox.example.com - internal box Due to it being dynamic dns (dyndns.org) and I only have one ipaddress, I can't seem to get it to work with out doing apache redirecting to a different port I hope this makes sence and I hope you can help.
