Iomega Ditto 2GB (internal).

1997-08-19 Thread Felix Almeida

  I'm a sysadmin of a small network at my college and I'm going to buy a
new tape drive in order to do the back-ups. Some friends told me that the
Iomega Ditto 2GB (internal model) is a good choice. So, I'd like to know
if this drive works fine under Linux. Are there any problems with it? Does
the kernel recognizes it? Does anybody use it? Please, help me! ;-)

Thanks in advance.

  Try to compile a new kernel image with the right drivers and put the
following line in your /etc/lilo.conf: 

append="tmc8xx=0xca000,11"

  Where the first number is the address used by the scsi interface and the
seconde one is the IRQ. Use the correct values for your hardware.

  I hope this work for you.

  Did you install the package that contains the file command (its name is 
file too)?

  Ok. I know that. I'm starting rpc.rquotad in my netstd_misc script (on
the server), so it is not the problem... When I mount the filesystems on
the clients, via NFS too, directly in the fstab (not in AMD) the quotas
are shown normaly (if I didn't have started the rpc.rquotad it won't
occur).

Thank you anyway. :-)

Quotas & AMD

1997-06-19 Thread Felix Almeida

  Does anybody know how I can configure my network in order to let the
users know their disk quotas? The problem is that the quota command
doesn't show the quota values, it only shows them when the user is logged
on the server.

  I'm using the AMD to mount the home directories by NFS on the clients.
I've read all of documents related to quotas, but with no success...

  Also, I've noted that when I mount the home directories by hand (without
AMD), using NFS of course, the users can see their disk quotas normaly,
but I really don't know why. 

  Please help-me. :-)


Thanks in advance,

  Put a line like this in your .bash_logout (if you use bash):

clear

  This numbers are used to identify a device in the system. Every device
has its own major and minor numbers.

  Check if your /dev/hdd has the following major and minor numbers (ls
-l):

brw-rw   1 root disk  22,  64 May  8  1995 /dev/hdd
  ^^   ^^
major  minor

  If not, you can use the MAKEDEV command do correct this (see the man
page).

  This error means a problem with your memory or with your cache (try to
look the GCC FAQ). You can try to disable the cache in your BIOS and
compile again to check if this error is caused by it or by the main
memory...

Problem on mounting CD... (SOLVED)

1997-04-11 Thread Felix Almeida

Hi folks!

  Thank you very much! You're right about the symbolic link, it was the
problem... >-(

  I only changed my fstab to point /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/cdrom and
everything works fine now. Thank you. :-)

PS: Special thanks to Riku, Andrew and Bob.

Problem on mounting CD...

1997-04-11 Thread Felix Almeida
Hi!

  I've been tried to allow the normal users in my system to mount a CD-ROM
but with no success... I even put the following line in my /etc/fstab:

/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user,unhide 0 0

  Where /dev/cdrom is a symbolic link to /dev/scd0. My /cdrom directory
has the following permitions: 

drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 1024 Apr 11 10:23 /cdrom/

  The problem is that the users can mount the CD but cannot umount it! The
"mount /cdrom" works fine but "umount /cdrom" gives the error message: 

umount:  /cdrom mount disagrees with the fstab

  I don't know if this can make diference, but I have CD-ROM support as a
module in the kernel (sr_mod and isofs).

  Please, help-me! :~(


Thanks,
Felix Almeida.


TWAIN driver.

1997-04-10 Thread Felix Almeida

  I would like to know if there is any twain driver available, so maybe I
can use my handy scanner in my Linux. Does anybody know anything about
this?
