Re: [gentoo-user] xfs recovery + kernel panic
I would try booting off a live cd that has the xfs utils on it. That way you can get your drive sorted out without worrying about your OS getting in the way.--DavidOn 7/7/06, Daniel Iliev [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, guys!Situation:1) Unclean shutdown2) Boot3) Kernel tries to mount /4) xfs recovery starts5) In the same time (before recovery is finished) kernel tries to startinit, fails and panics. If I take the HDD and mount it (not as /) on another machine, there isno problem. The recovery finishes OK and afterward xfs_rapair doesn'tfind any errors. The next unclean shutdown everything repeats. Is there a way to make the kernel wait for the recovery to finish beforetrying to start init or any other workaround?.Thank you in advance!--Best regards,Daniel-- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Waaaaaay [OT] Windoze back-up. Sorry to ask. :-(
Partimage works pretty well although not exactly as you described. It requires a linux server to serve the images I believe. There may be a way to use a livecd of some sort to do it locally as you described.Otherwise the not free/opensource solution is Norton Ghost. --DavidOn 5/2/06, Teresa and Dale [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi,OK, here's my deal.My girlfriend wants to use windoze, yes it hasalready died from a bug and it took a while to get it all back toworking, again.This is what I want to do to make it easy when this happens again, this is windoze so it will happen, likely sooner ratherthan later too.I want to be able to back her drive up to a CD, the whole thing even ifit takes a few CDs.When it dies again, I want to be able to put in the first CD and it boot and reinstall everything from there with littleinteraction from me.Is there such a creature?Please tell me it is free.I'm used to Linuxremember.I can't believe I let her spend almost $200.00 on that crappie OS. hangs head in shame She a great person in all other respects though.I just have to keep working on this area.ThanksDale:-)Oh, I'm still looking for help with samba share so I can copy her documents and such to my rig, since mine seems to always work.:DAgain, sorry to ask a windoze question here but it's not like I askanywhere else.--gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] VPN?
I've been having alot of luck with openvpn it's ssl based rather than ipsec. I have found it to be easier to setup and less confusing and it has clients for various platforms including windows...which is not always the easiest platform to use IPSEC with unless you go with a commercial client. You will need to setup a certificate authority and understand the basics of openssl the rest is pretty simple. It even works behind a NAT router or firewall. If the vpn connection is lost it will re-establish it's connection automatically once it's routable again. This works for both dynamic ip clients and even the server as long as you're using some sort of deamon to update dyndns info. For the most part, atleast in my area, I find comcast IP's to be very stable. My IP hasn't changed in years. My ip least just gets renewed. -- David On 8/26/05, Michael W.

I have a LAN at the office including a freebsd file server, the server has an ip of 192.168.xx.xx, and several other gentoo desktops have the same +1 each. I have a linksys cable modem, and wireless router serving through the gateway of 192.168.xx.1. dns is fixed with 2 dns servers from comcast. Problem is I have a dynamis ip from comcast. I want to be able to access a desktop machine, and most importantly the bsd file server with my laptop, again with a dynamic assigned ip from remote locations. What is the best combination, and some sort of howto for dummies would be great!! Thanks in advance. Mike -- Michael W.

Re: [gentoo-user] how to deploy a video lab?
Last time I tried Cinelerra it was not what I would call production ready and feature wise it can not replace Premier. However if you want to test it out see the following link for instructions on how to use portage and correctly deal with masked packages. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Portage_Correctly In short you can do the following and then emerge normally. echo media-video/cinelerra ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords -- David On 7/26/05, simply change [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: AybOwan!
