Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo nfs server:Opensolaris client; error `security mode does not match'

But I've begun setting up a NAS that consists of an OpenSolaris server with ZFS file sytem. I hoped to use NFS to handle backs ups and other work between linux boxes and solaris NAS, with windows boxes using CIFS. It doesn't really make sense to mount the other way round, like serving from OpenSol and client at gentoo host since a general backup plan will be running from the Solaris box and effecting all lan machines.

[gentoo-user] glibc update
Hello, Looking at what I'm about to pick up via emerge, I notice this [ebuild U ] sys-libs/glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1 [2.6.1] This immediately sets off alarm bells for me, since glibc is the basis of the whole system. If I pick this up do I have to rebuild everything? I've also frozen my kernel at 2.6.25 for now due to the nvidia-drivers package. I have to use an older one for 3D accel and it doesn't work with the newer kernels according to a bug report I saw. At some point I'm assuming that a new glibc will require a new kernel too, if the interface changes, so presumably I'll have to update eventually. I could just use the nv driver since the 3D accel is not a must-have, or pick up a new video card. Currently VIDEO_CARDS=nvidia in my make.conf just automatically pulls in nvidia-drivers though, which is broken for me. But I digress. Upgrade glibc, rebuild everything? I suppose revdep-rebuild will figure that out anyway... Mike -- Michael P. Soulier msoul...@digitaltorque.ca Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...

That's not quite true, it's actually glibc provides the C library, which is a collection of basic function calls that just about every other program uses sooner or later Quite a different thing actually. The interface the glibc presents to the rest of the machine doesn't reduce. Everything that your programs used to see, they will still see. What might happen is the glibc provides extra stuff, but that doesn't matter as your existing compiled programs don't know about it and can't use it. A lot like replacing a power outlet in your house - it looks the same as the old one so there's no need to buy a new toaster. If there's an issues, revdep-rebuild will pick them up. Sometimes, glibc is all fsck'ed up. Like sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201-r1. It looks great, till you start firefox and find that it doesn't run anymore...

The only time you really need to update the kernel headers is if they provide some new features you want to take advantage of. The interface that the kernel provides to userspace is virtually frozen and Linus simply never changes it. In short, updating glibc is as safe as updating any other piece of software, as long as it has no known major bugs that cause you issues. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Well, this is gentoo and we don't need no stinking Changelogs on gentoo :-) Seriously, you are running a stable arch. All known issues should be resolved by the time glibc hits stable. You can always askhere, or look at b.g.o for any outstanding issues No, glibc might need updated kernel headers. The compiler uses them when building glibc - the headers tell the compiler what data structures, functions etc look like so that the glibc it builds can talk to whatever kernel you choose to run later. So will it use /usr/src/linux by default? If so then I'm ok... No, it goes nowhere near that directory. It uses /usr/include/linux From your responses it seems like you haven't figured out yet how the whole compile/link/header thing works, so here's the (quickish) version: If an application uses a library that is already built and located elsewhere, the compiler needs to know what the data structures and functions in that library look like. This information is in the library's source code, but to make life for everyone infinitely easier, it is by convention separated out into so-called header files. These files don't contain any executable source code, just the definitions of things implemented by the library and publicly available. The benefit is that to compile something, you only need the (small) header files, not the full collection of (large) source code. Even on gentoo we have this - when you emerge wget, it most certainly uses something provided by glibc, yet the glibc source code is not available at emerge time - but the glibc headers are. These headers can technically be placed anywhere. The convention is to put them in /usr/include and to tell your compiler to look there for headers. glibc in turn also needs headers for things it uses, and amongst others this is the kernel headers in /usr/include/linux/. This doesn't have to be the same headers for the kernel you are running, it just has to be compatible headers. To prove this, just reboot and choose a different kernel. Everything works, but glibc could not possibly have been built against both kernel's sources. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Re: [gentoo-user] nForce4 eth driver not working...
You should have two different ethernet ports on that motherboard, the primary one should use forcedeth, the secondary should use the new marvell yukon phy driver, make sure those are compiled into your running kernel.

It uses /usr/include/linux From your responses it seems like you haven't figured out yet how the whole compile/link/header thing works, so here's the (quickish) version: Actually I do, but I don't go anywhere near the kernel so I wasn't sure of the relationship between glibc and the kernel interfaces. I'm just wondering if /usr/include/linux is ever incompatible with my kernel, and what to do about it if it is. glibc in turn also needs headers for things it uses, and amongst others this is the kernel headers in /usr/include/linux/. This doesn't have to be the same headers for the kernel you are running, it just has to be compatible headers. To prove this, just reboot and choose a different kernel. Everything works, but glibc could not possibly have been built against both kernel's sources.
