[gentoo-user] noatime option is ignored for /
Hello, I just found out that 'noatime' mount option is ignored on my system for / (root) partition. In /etc/fstab I have entry for /: /dev/sda6 / ext3 noatime,usrquota,grpquota and 'mount' command shows: /dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,usrquota,grpquota) but /proc/mounts does not show noatime option: /dev/root / ext3 rw,data=ordered,usrquota,grpquota 0 0 When I do 'cat some_file', 'ls -lu' shows that its access time _is_ modified. However I can do 'mount -o remount /' and filesystem is then remounted correctly (access time is not modified anymore), I want to ask if this is normal behaviour and remounting / after boot is common solution. The root of problem is probably the fact, that /etc/fstab is not available when / is about to mount. But I did not find it mentioned in any ext3 tweaking guide or so. Everywhere is just add noatime option to fstab and you're fine. In Gentoo Handbook is also nothing about it (and noatime option is used for /). I think initrd could solve this problem but I do not want it. Is noatime for / working for you?

[gentoo-user] Help playing simultaneously splitted videos (sort of)
Hi there, I've been asked something strange. I have to take a video input and split it in three parts, sending it to three outputs simultaneously. The first thing I thought of was creating a pipe, sending there the video and trying to read from there. I did my firsts tests with mplayer, but as soon as I launched the second instance of the video output, the mplayer which was feeding the pipe exited. Does any of you have any good idea to accomplish this in a simple and elegant way? Probably I should be focusing more on the capturing more than doing this rubbish tests, nonetheless, since I still don't have any hardware to do anything proper, any feedback will be wellcome ;) -- Javier Krausbeck [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Could it possibly be related to the readline library and the inputrc file? It seems that some keys are undefined on the machine you are sshing to. In the case of the left arrow (but of course this holds for any key that is not working as expected), try $ bind -q backward-char on both boxes. On my computer, it outputs backward-char can be invoked via \C-b, \eOD, \e[D. Of these, \e[D is the one that corresponds to the left arrow key. If your output for the non-working computer is different, then it means that the left arrow key is not bound to the same function (or is not bound at all). This could be due to a ~/.inputrc file that redefines some keys. See man bash, section READLINE to get more info about readline. (BTW, there are *lots* of things that can be customized regarding readline behavior, and creating your own inputrc file can be a great learning experience - or at least, it was for me when I did it for LFS). Verify that you are using the same editing mode (usually emacs) on both boxes, with the command set -o | grep '^vi\|^emacs' Check whether the INPUTRC environment variable points to some file. On gentoo, bash does not read /etc/inputrc, but perhaps on ubuntu it does. As a last resort, you can try to create your own ~/.inputrc on the ubuntu box and put there all the key bindings you need (using CTRL+V + key to find out the correct values, as suggested in the comments at the beginning of gentoo /etc/inputrc, or copying them directly from the gentoo output of bind -p). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I am not looking for an all in one HOWTO (and don't really expect to find one with such a complicated process) and I am willing to RTFM when necessary. The question is more what sort of setup do you want? Are you setting up just for one domain, for more than one, doing hosting, etc etc? A default postfix install with the /etc/postfix/main.cf edited to make sure that the domain is correct will give you what you want for an email system, but won't really do it if you're doing multiple domains, or want a database backend, etc. A bit more info would help.

2007/5/13, Fabio A Correa [EMAIL PROTECTED]: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Wu, Instead of the commands you posted, you should use echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.8.0/24 -j MASQUERADE I have tried.But still not work. Here is the information after execute your advice: - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# iptables -L -t nat Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination MASQUERADE all -- 192.168.1.0/24 anywhere Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination -- Then in my other PCs,I still can't ping the website outside. Why? Long explanation: The first command enables the kernel to _forward_ packets from eth0 to eth1 and vice versa. To do the actual forwarding, the second command is used: - --table nat : Network address translation table. - -A POSTROUTING for altering packets as they are about to go out, after it is determined that they are to be forwarded by means of the first instruction. - -j MASQUERADE Masquerade the addresses of computer in the subnet with the address of the routing computer. The kernel takes care of the subtle details on masquerading. I hope this helps!!! - -- Fabio A. Correa D.

Personally, I'm a qmail person, and he Life with qmail documentation is pretty good: http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html The package name for qmail has changed recently under Gentoo, so you would emerge netqmail instead of qmail. There are many different mta softwares out there. I would suggest trying a few of them, and see which one seems to fit your thought process the best. For me it's qmail, but you might be more of an exim or postfix or (god forbid) sendmail person. Good luck! -Sean signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
