Re: [gentoo-user] Migrating a system
Hello Daniel Pielmeier, Is it really necessary to back up /sys and /proc? What about /dev? I don't think it is necessary but it will consume almost no disk space so I don't worry. /proc/kcore can get rather large. You are not only using the disk space when backing up, but when restoring too. If you have 4GB of RAM, you will waste 4GB of your root partition when you restore /proc/kmem, which could be a problem if root is only a few hundred MB. The --one-filesystem option would be useful here. I prefer to back up each filesystem separately, since the main planned use for them is a hosed filesystem I would hope to need only one of them (at most). -- Neil Bothwick We are sorry, but the number you have dialed is imaginary. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

It's really easy to add entries and change the config and whatnot. another great thing about grub is that it has a limited command mode that you can enter at boot time. If your grub config contains a typo or error, you can still boot the computer without reaching for a CD.

Re: [gentoo-user] nfs server problem
The error you are receiving indicates that you already have a service occupying the port that the nfs server wants to bind to, however only one service can bind to a port at any one given time. So you must find the service that is occupying the port nfs server wants to bind to and either disable that service or configure it to run on another port.

[gentoo-user] insatiable revdev-rebuild
An emerge (of openssl, I believe, but am not sure) a few days ago triggered a request for me to run # revdep-rebuild --library libcrypto.so.0.9.7 # revdep-rebuild --library libssl.so.0.9.7 I have done so. The revdep-rebuild for libssl found nothing, but the one for libcrypto rebuilt openssl. However rerunning the command again again rebuilt openssh. A msg had explained that this is possible but didn't suggest that the request would never end. I have run the revdep-rebuild for libcrypto 4 times and it keeps rebuilding openssl What should I do to fix this problem? thanks, allan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

However rerunning the command again again rebuilt openssh. I have just survived to a huge (one year, I think) emerge -tva -DNu world. I learnt one way to deal efficiently with revdep-rebuild: run revdep-rebuild -i. It will make it ignore his current temporary files about your system's libraries. This should solve your problem. -- Regards, Liviu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
