Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: 32bit session

If you've installed a complete 32-bit chroot installation, with everything you want to run, on a different partition so you can select it with root= on the kernel command line, and if it has been configured sufficiently to boot independently (with the appropriate 32-bit kernel, modules, daemons, and /etc files such as fstab fully configured), yes. Basically, it's effectively a fully independent multi-boot system, where the one boot option happens to be an x86 32-bit Gentoo that's also configured as a 32-bit chroot to your 64-bit amd64 Gentoo. The multi-boot side of it could just as easily be MSWormOS or Fedora or Ubunto or FreeBSD or whatever, but then of course it wouldn't work as a 32-bit chroot of your Gentoo amd64 boot. There's also an experimental and still-broken 32-bit userland profile, I believe, which would be a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit everything else (don't know how the toolchain would work, as a cross-compile or as a 64-bit multilib, but all regular apps would be 32-bit anyway). However, I'd not suggest that except for the EXTREMELY adventurous, those already running ~arch and a whole host of masked packages, and thinking that's far too stable and troublefree for their liking, as it will easily make ~arch+masked look like a walk in the park. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.

The message with Ctrl-D to reboot does also contain a oppertunity to login as root (just type roots password). This is due to the fact that fsck.reiserfs was unable to repair certan problems and needs to be run with optional parameters that you must manually specify; probably --rebuild-tree. A solution would be to boot up the system normaly and then enter runlevel 1 by using the command init 1 as root. Next umount the partition that is having problems and do a chkfs.reiserfs /dev/[your-partition] and see if that helps, otherwise do a chkfs.reiserfs /dev/[your-partition] --rebuild-tree. This helped me after some bad thunderstorms that caused blackouts last summer and corrupted some of my partitions on my file server.

What you want to do is use /usr/sbin/lspic to determine which IDE chipset you have in the system and make sure that you have the correct driver compilied in the kernel. As an example, I have an older Dell with the following IDE chipset (output from lspci): 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801AA IDE (rev 02) So in the kernel config I have the following options: Device Drivers --- ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support --- * ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support * Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support * Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support [*] Use multi-mode by default M Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support [*] PCI IDE chipset support [*] Sharing PCI IDE interrupts support [*] Generic PCI bus-master DMA support [*] Use PCI DMA by default when available * Intel PIIXn chipsets support The last three options are the most important for getting DMA to work on the dirve, and the last option will vary based on the chipset in your system.

I'm running all reiserfs here, FWIW. It doesn't have a compaction tool (defrag, on MSWormOS), but I've not noticed any issues as a result. Fragmentation seems to be a myth for anyone on Linux, and I was enclined to believe that myth until I started to use Gentoo. At first, a brand new gentoo system is fast, but after a few months and a dozen emerge -uDN world, things tend to slow down to a point that is barely acceptable. In fact, the first time I tought that maybe I installed too many things, and that my system was crippled with cruft. But then I had to repartition my hard drive, so I made a backup (tar zcvpf) of my different partitions, fdisk, mkfs, and tar zxvpf. The system was exactly the same as before, just the partition size had changed. But then emerge -S was much faster than before the operation, as well as common portage operations. Since then, I've tried to do the same on several servers, without the fdisk operation, just tar cp, mkfs, tar xp, and I've always noticed an appreciable speedup. The only explanation that comes from this experiment is fragmentation. And I think Gentoo is more sensible to fragmentation than binary distributions because it has to deal with many small files, often changing, during compilation and rsynchronisation. So the directories sensible to fragmentation are IMHO, /var/tmp and /usr/portage, and they are the ones to put on different partitions. Now, I don't have exact numbers to prove my sayings, but anyone can make the test themself, if they already have /var/tmp and/or /usr/portage on separate partitions. I didn't have time yet to sort out what kind of filesystem is more or less sensible to fragmentation, but from my experience, ext[23] is not a good candidate for /var/tmp or /usr/postage. Reiser3 has proven to fragment too, and one of the last system I installed was formated with XFS, which I will defragment in a few weeks. Hopefully I could then come with numbers. BTW, does someone know of a tools to show the fragmentation level of a *nix filesystem ?

Hi, I have just seen your post. I have been using Linux since 96 and used Debian. I tried Gentoo when the eb mirrors were down. Now I won't go back.

Re: [gentoo-amd64] error updating deep world gentoo general
That's valuable info. These dual core amd's are on ebay for 'next-to-nothing', pls tell me more, what are the PPC machines, I have seen PPC to be an option for a Gentoo dist. but didn't know what it is. There's a reason that Itinium was called the Itanic It's probably the biggest waste of effort Intel and HP have ever embarked on. Next to no-one supports it, and it's special features arn't really all that special compared to the average Opteron. If you want the most robust/fastest chipset, Power chips are the way to go. (Not Power PC (PPC), just Power chips). A workstation running dual Power5 chips would more or less obliterate anything you could care to throw at it. If you're strictly speaking of the x86 world of chips (Which btw the Itanium isn't really more then 85% compatible) then the dual core socket 940 opterons are still the best chip, followed by the dual core socket 939 Athlon 64s. If you are running a rack or thirty of blades, the difference between the IA64 and the AMD64 heat output and wattage ingestion more then pays for itself. Performance wise, the Opterons are also far enough ahead of the Intel offerings to make it worthwhile to stick with AMD. YMMV and My opinions are my own. -- Dr Gavin Seddon School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences University of Manchester Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, U.K. -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-amd64] error updating deep world gentoo general
Dear Bob, You obviously know you tech stuff. The number crunching I (we) do is huge floating point calculations used in drug design (quantum dynamics/quantum mechanics). At the moment the fastest results come from the Opterons with 1Gb ram. I'm not sure of their spec. But, we have found calculations to be faster on 64bit machines rather than 32. For imaging we use SGI Octane or Octane 2 however I have found recent Nvidia graphics cards to be as good, here at least I stick to crt SGI monitors; they are cheap and perform. Also, Irix (SGI OS) is awful. For weeks now I've been trying to install ssh. It WON'T. I was debating last night whether to install Gentoo on the Octanes. My fear is, If I do: a. Sybyl, the MOST useful drug design software won't run and. b. I will have to reinstall Irix. I did it once. It's a farce. It took all day (no breaks). You even partition when it's installed. I think SG have had their day. We won't buy any more. Furthermore, the Opterons are faster and cost 1/10 the price. It depends. In general, looking at MTBF numbers, Itanium systems are less reliable than most 2P to 4P x86 servers out there. But more reliable than most RISC based servers, though IBM's Blue Gene blade servers may have an equivlant record or even be better. (Note: Realibility when I use it means 24x7 full time compute load, not shutting it down at night nor the system standing idle.) As to performance, it kind of depends. The bone stock Intel chipset Itaniums have fairly constrained FSB to memory bandwidth. Itanums where companies have used their own chipsets - such as us (SGI) and higher end HP, among others, can deliever some impressive bandwidth to memory and I/O. Thus improving overall computing throughput and high sustained compute power. And depending upon the problem set, an Itanium based system may be faster than amd64 based systems. If your problem set is more integer based or transaction based, the amd64 will perform better. If it's more FP based, memory constrained, threaded, and I/O bound, then an Itainium based system might be better. If you need more than 1 TB physical memory and up to 512 cpus in a single system image, then amd64 solutions won't be there until HyperTransport III, sometime next year, perhaps. Downside - you have to recompile your apps to get the best out of them. Any x86 32bit code will run in an emulation layer, which can be very fast or very slow. Setiathome, 32 bit client screamed on our Itanium's (ran it on a 512P system). Oh, and you'll need Intel's compiler. On the AMD side, figure about 80% FP performance and 102% Integer performance compared to an Itanium cpu. Memory bandwidth tends to match when AMDs are used in 4P or greater configs. I/O bandwidth is a bit constained in some instances, but seems pretty tolerable and really isn't much of an issue until more than 4 PCI-X slots are needed. But a lot of that is based on which chipset is being used. And to get the est out of your apps, you'll need to compile them with the PathScale compiler. If you're interested in an in-office/deskside style system. the AMD solution is probably a better match, especially if your application needs only 1 or 2 Gfx pipes, and fits in less than 16 GB memory. If you need department scientifc serving, then benchmarking your apps on each platform is the better way to find which fits better. If you need serious visualizaton ability, with 3 or more - up to 16, Gfx pipes, then there isn't much choice, no AMD vendor has produced a system capable of doing that, though with some special Nvidia cards, it's possible to get 4 Gfx pipe on 2 PCIe x16 slots. That's not to say it works well, as it's pretty much beta hardware and drivers at the moment. Bob -- - QA Curmudgeon.

The tape drive and cable should be fine (assuming proper maintenance of the tape drive). I personally have moved away from tape for smaller data sets ( 100GB ), as tape has some issues. First, you need to keep the tape head clean and second tape media has a limited useful life span. I have been burned a couple times by defective tape media in a restore situation. If an external hard drive is out, how about removeable hard drives? Remeber, the point of a backup is just to keep the data in multiple places. You can easily add a removeable drive cage to a system and purchase a couple extra caddy's. This way you can alternate between 2 or 3 removable hard drives for backup devices. Some removeable trays support key locks, in case you're worried about physical security. The method I use is the dar program in conjunction with cdrecord-prodvd. I create a full backup monthly, then create a weekly incremental against the full backup, and then daily backups against the weekly. This method only requires me to burn multiple dvd's once a month (as my monthly backup is in excess of 20GB). After that, I get away with one extra dvd per month (ymmv). For a recovery scenario, I may have to go through multiple restores to bring the system current, but thats a trade off I make to save on media. Those are just a few ideas. There are many other ways to backup data. I believe there is even an online service you can sign up for, and back up to their servers. IIRC you pay by the backup size in 10GB increments. Backup solutions are unique to each enviroment and use. Things to consider are; hard costs of backup hardware and media, time required to perform backup and does data have to be taken offline, ease and automation of backup, time required to restore data, ease and automation of restore, and physical storage of backup media (it doesn't do you any good to keep all your backups in the same building as the data if the building burns down). I am sure there are other factors too, this is just to give you an idea of things to think about when trying to come up with a new backup solution.

There are a couple ways of modifying groups;
First you can use vigr, this will load /etc/groups in your default
editor and allow you to change the file. Upon exiting, it will check
your changes for proper formatting and let you know if the file is
not formatted properly. This is the method I use.
To add yourself to vmware group, find the line:
vmware:x:449:
and add the login name of the users after the last colon, using a
comma to separate multiple names:
vmware:x:449:user1,user2
A second method is usermod. This requires a bit more work, since you
have to specify all the groups you want access to with the -G option. If
you omit a group that you were previously a member of, you will be removed
from that group. So you would type something like:
usermod -G wheel,audio,video,
A simple wrapper shell script like this could be used to add additional
groups without having to retype all groups:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Script to add a user to a group using the usermod tool.
#
# TODO: Verify awk and usermod exist and can execute.
ME=`/usr/bin/basename ${0}`
AWK=/bin/awk
USERMOD=/usr/sbin/usermod
# Check to make sure we have 2 arguments.
if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
echo Usage: ${ME} group[,group ...] user
exit -99
fi
# TODO: Additional checking of args, make sure user and groups exist, but
# for now the usermod tool will throw an error if they do not exist.
# Get list of groups user belongs to.
