AFAIK the Sandisk Cruzers are U3 Sticks and i think the U3 System is shown as a CD-Drive and the storage as usb drive. There is a Tool from Sandisk to disable the U3 functionality and use the sticks without this software, but it's a windows executable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've had a similar issue some time ago and my solution was to add a file to the usb storage root directory called ".is_audio_player". inside this file you can configure the folder for the audio files, for example: audio_folders=music/ folder_depth=2 Songs will be synchronized to usbstorage/Music/Artist/Album (folder depth 2 will create the folder 'Artist' with subfolder 'Album' hope that helps Cheers Peter -- Wer die Freiheit aufgibt um Sicherheit zu gewinnen, der wird am Ende beides verlieren. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

preseed with USB-Stick and RAID on internal disks
Hi guys,
I'm trying to create a preseed file on Squeeze for a HP Proliant NL36,
which should boot from USB and use all four internal disks with RAID 5:
internal 8GB USB-Stick:
/dev/sda| -- atomic partitioning -- |
internal 1000GB HDDs:
/dev/sdb| - RAID5 - |
/dev/sdc| - RAID5 - |
/dev/sdd| - RAID5 - |
/dev/sde| - RAID5 - |
But I'm stuck at the beginning - what do I need to choose in my preseed
file ? Do I need to define the partitions on the USB stick ? In my
opinion it's not needed because I choose "atomic". But then it's a
little bit confusing because I choose an expert recipe too. Something is
wrong in my config with this configuration my system will be
installed to the USB the way I want, but no RAID is created.
8< 8< 8< 8< 8<
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm_span boolean true
d-i partman-auto/purge_lvm_from_device boolean true
d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-auto/method string regular
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
multiraid ::\
64 1 10 \
method{ raid } \
. \
64 1 10 \
method{ raid } \
. \
64 1 10 \
method{ raid } \
. \
64 1 10 \
method{ raid } \
. \
d-i partman-auto-raid/recipe string \
5 4 0 - - /dev/sdb#/dev/sdc#/dev/sdd#/dev/sde \
. \
8< 8< 8< 8< 8<
Is it possible to do an atomic _and_ raid setup at the same time ?
Or shall I just use "d-i preseed/late_command string in-target" to
create the RAID array with "mdadm --create --verbose --force
--assume-clean /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sd[bcde]" at the
end of my setup ? This way seems to be much easier than using the recipe.
Regards
Peter

RMS never liked Skype: Skype is a special exception: it is worse than most nonfree software, because using Skype to talk with someone else means that other person must use Skype too. Even supposing my host has Skype already installed on his computer, my using it briefly would not be harmless — it would constitute encouraging my interlocutor to have and use Skype. My conclusion is: never use Skype even for a moment. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

clone LVM disk to a larger disk
Hi guys, I'm using two HP Microservers with a Heartbeat1 cluster, drbd and kvm. On one of these servers the systemdisk is a 160GB disk with LVM configured, on the other node it's a 1TB disk. I'd like to have both nodes with the same disk sizes (easier to configure imo) Now I've got a 1TB disk which I would like to use instead of the 160GB disk. My question: Can I just clone the small disk to the new large disk and then resize the LV on it ? Does that work ? I would say yes, but I've never done that, so I am not sure... ;) Is there any advantage to use dd instead of Clonezilla[1], ReDo[2] or whatever ? Maybe dd is slower than the other tools, but other than that there shouldn't be any issues, correct ?

You don't need to resize any existing partitions, but you can of course grow the LVs and the filesystems afterwards, if you want to take advantage of the additional space. Hi Jochen, and this will also work when the operating system is running on this lvm ? Downtime is no issue because it's my "home cluster" and the resources will switch to the other server anyway, so no "real" downtime. the other problem is - there is no free slot for the new disk, so i think I'll stay with dd'ing or something like that. I'll write back if it was working or if there were issues with that. Thanks and best Regards Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

After installing cups-pdf you can change the PDF-printer settings defaults to print 2 pages on one (Settings - Job Options - Pages per side).

I am using squeeze with 2.6.32-3 and having similar issues on my Thinkpad T42p. While hibernating there is a message "failed to thaw - error -16". After resuming the screen stays black. I found out that compiz was (is)my issue. I can ping my machine and connect via ssh. If compiz is stopped while hibernating everything seems to be ok and resume is working just fine.
