One NIC will have a higher priority than another for ALL connections. This is because NICs do not do NATing. They will send all packets out to the gateway (192.168.1.1) and the router at the gateway will determine which packet is forwarded to the Internet and which to the LAN. So, if you do not want to prioritise one NIC over another, it may be better to use iptables to route LAN packets via a particular NIC instead. Great to see this helps someone else as well :) @Mick: I am not sure if I fully understand what you mean. Following the routing table the most specific route will be used, which is not the default route, but the route to the local lan. *All* routes have to go through the local LAN. That's where you router is. Both NICs are in the same subnet (192.168.1.0/24) and use the same gateway (192.168.1.1). Therefore, the only thing that determines which NIC your packets will go out of is the NIC's metric setting. In your first email you show eth0 with a higher priority than wlan0. All connections will go out eth0, unless eth0 goes down for some reason, or becomes saturated. In this case the metric is important as there are multiple interfaces with the same network. And what do you mean by setting NIC priority (using the metric_eth0 config option?) using /etc/conf.d/net or in a post script? Both have different outcomes it looks to me. Both have the same outcome - set priority for your eth0 and wlan0 NICs, use the same file - /etc/conf.d/net and set up the same parameter - metric. The post up script also sets the lo interface to 0 which is the default anyway. Unless I misunderstand the file's nomenclature local stands for Local Loopback (127.0.0.1/255.0.0.0) and by default has higher priority. Anyway, that's how I understand this, no doubt some networking guru will correct me if I got it wrong. -- Regards, Mick

It does? I assume that eth1 above is wlan0 in your case.
If you restart both eth0 and wlan0 so as to zero the packet counters,
then start a download/upload from your a machine in your LAN, what
packet counts do you get in ifconfig for each NIC?

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: raid1 grub ext4
Hi, Just picking the last post I read here. OP. You may want to read this: http://grub.enbug.org/LVMandRAID I know little about LVM and nothing about RAID but found that howto that is pretty straight foreword on how it should work. Also, make sure you are using a version of grub that can see RAID/LVM. According to what I read, not all versions can, only the most recent has that feature. It also has a grub.conf example too. Maybe that will help to. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)

The emerge failed with a Connection-refused error when attempting to fetch the distfile.

The name of the array probably got weird because your hostname doesn't match the homehost of the array. The array has the host name stored in its metadata, so if you're booting in an environment that doesn't have the same hostname (such as a live CD) then it'll use different (large) numbering to avoid a conflict with local arrays. It may also cause some other differences. The manpage of mdadm has good information. I think you can also set it to ignore the hostname entirely in mdadm.conf, but I've not personally ever tried that.

[gentoo-user] Firefox 4 hard freeze
Hi list,
I'm running into some weird problem. Firefox was upgraded to version 4
a few days ago. And up until last night I have had no problems with
it. Starting this morning, however, it seems that Firefox would freeze
up whenever I touch the keyboard with the window in focus!
I can open new tabs, go visit links in the history, etc, with no
problems. But any keyboard input (hitting Ctrl-t for new tab, Ctrl-n
for new Window, or trying to enter an address into the address bar)
completely freezes the program.
Running from command line produced no outputs.
Running with `strace` gives the following output near the end. I am
not sure what's going on with the read(3, 0x9038118, 4096) thing which
keeps giving Reseource temporarily unavailable: it keeps flashing by
once Firefox has started, seems like firefox keep trying to poll
something, but I have no idea what it is doing.
But at the very least, even when I just leave the window alone, I knew
firefox was doing something.
But the minute I hit the keyboard, the rapidly scrolling output of
strace stops, and I had to hit Ctrl-C to terminate the process
(resulting in the last line of the posted trace).
The running versions of firefox is 4.0-r3, and xulrunner is at 2.0-r1

If so, I'll have to start over.? Ouch, I didn't think of that. Well, I guess it will not wipe it, it will merely re-sync the disks. Since they have been mirrors of each other before this action, you might be lucky and it keeps working. mdadm --detail /dev/md1 mdadm: cannot open /dev/md1: No such file or directory same now for md2 and md3... Well, at least you are rid of the duplicate arrays. Look (ma no hands!): livecd gentoo # mdadm --detail /dev/md125 /dev/md125: Version : 0.90 Creation Time : Thu Apr 14 14:15:21 2011 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 1948227584 (1857.97 GiB 1994.99 GB) Used Dev Size : 1948227584 (1857.97 GiB 1994.99 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 125 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Thu Apr 14 15:51:46 2011 State : clean, resyncing Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Rebuild Status : 37% complete UUID : fa800cdb:33955cfd:cb201669:f728008a (local to host livecd) Events : 0.6 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 830 active sync /dev/sda3 1 8 191 active sync /dev/sdb3 [...] We'll see in a few hours James You can keep using it while it re-syncs. Re-syncing just means that you do not have any redundancy, yet. You can still read/write on the array. You will get or manipulate whatever mdadm thinks is the correct value for each block. That's also what will end up on both disks, ultimately. I guess you can even reboot but since your setup is not really persistent, I wouldn't try it.

No output created. Done. Input errors, so no output created. Regards Liviu Well, you could try app-text/qpdf from the benf overlay. It has an option to suppress recovery of damaged files so it looks like it at least tries to repair them per default. If you don't want to install layman and overlays, you can send me the file off-list and I take a look. One good thing about PDF is that its structure is stored uncompressed (AFAIK it only compresses text and binary data with zlib since version 1.2). This means that it might be at least partially recoverable. Regards, Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

It does? I assume that eth1 above is wlan0 in your case.
On my thinkpad the wireless is eth0, wired is eth1.
Not sure why, but I've had a few machines that work that way.

Oh, I got that backwards, sorry -- wireless is eth1.

Different drivers name the wireless interface using different names (eth1,
wlan0, ath0, etc.)
