[ilugd] Fwd: Unable to reactivate a RAID10 mdadm device
Recovery OS -- System Rescue CD v 2.8.0
Production OS - Debian Squeeze (6) 2.6.32 stock kernel, using mdadm raid
/dev/md0 in raid level RAID10 - members /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1,
/dev/sdd1, /dev/sde1 all with partion id=fd
HDD /dev/sdb went bad, replaced it with another disk with same size
partion (id=fd)
using System Rescue CD v2.8.0
1. System Rescue CD recognized the md devices but it comes up as 'inactive'
Searched for possible solutions and I have tried several things including
zeroing the super block and adding them back to the array.
Still unable to bring back /dev/md0 with all 4 partions in active mode.
I have included below, the entire transcript of the commands I have
tried to recover /dev/md0
I have data on /dev/md0 that I need. I do have back ups of critical
files (but not all).
I prefer solving the problem v/s recreating the /dev/md0 from scratch.
Any help in solving this problem would be highly appreciated.
TIA,

Re: [ilugd] Has INTEL been taken over by m$ or is it a market-manipulation tie-up ??
On Fri, Jan 25, 2013 at 11:21 AM, Sudhir Gandotra sud...@openlx.com wrote: Yesterday I found that Intel is not making any motherboard that supports Linux on Desktop. What were motherboard brands have you been using till now? The vendor made me talk to an Intel guy on conference, who said Intel makes Server boards that support Linux, since Linux is largely used on servers only. They do have many boards that supports widows. In the past, I have had this discussion with Intel support and their policy is officially we do not support Linux on desktop boards. Great if it works with your favorite Linux distro but do not come to us if there are any problems What this means is that Intel does not validate the boards with the plethora of desktop Linux distros. Use them at your own risk. Having said that pretty much all Linux distros work with the desktop Intel chip sets. For the server boards, Intel does certify their boards with RHEL and Novell SuSE (IIRC). For RMA purpose, you must mention the OS it is certified for (RHEL or Novell SuSE). The first few times, I used to mention the actual distro installed (CentOS, Debian or openSUSE) and they would come back saying they are not supported! Sounds strange. Is it that m$ has bought over Intel or is it some kind of market-manipulation tie-up going on there ? Will be good to know, if anyone has more information. No conspiracy here. IMO, it is economics - the cost of validating the hardware with so many distributions and then supporting them. In such situation, are there boards by other makers that support Linux on Desktop or does one have the only option of shifting over to AMD ? IIRC, Gigabyte does mention Linux compatibility (web site) on some of their desktop boards. -- Arun Khan ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
[ilugd] [OT] Recommendation for Wi-Fi AP.
Greetings, I am looking for Wi-Fi AP that: 1. Is stable (does not require frequent reboot or power OFF/ON) 2. Supports 802.11 b/g/n 3. Supports up to WPA2-Enterprise (RADIUS auth) - a *must* 4. Has external Antenna Desirable - Accepts DD-WRT / OpenWRT images. Many list members may be using these Wi-Fi features in their own office / home and I would appreciate if you could share you experience. Please mention brand/model. PS - There are lot of brands claiming features and performance. Unfortunately, they can be verified only after one has purchased such an unit. In the past, I have used Linksys and Buffalo. Linksys has been OK but with internal antenna, range is suspect (at least in my experience). The Buffalo APs, on paper have great feature and few models do accept DD-WRT firmware. However, I have had heating issues - over a period of time the WLAN would disappear. The only way I could solve it was to power them OFF, let it cool and then power them ON. Buffalo was great in the RMA dept. but the brand new replacements had the same problem.

I got billed for Rs. 9K and I was bloody sure I had not downloaded that kind data during the daytime hours. At that time I did not know about vnstat and other such tools. I am convinced they were using a buggy method to record the usage. Is there a way i can find out the daily usage on each machine through a setup on a *single* computer? Does the router/modem device have an snmp option ? Not sure if that's there, probably if you guide me on how to find that out, i will be answer you. By the way, it's the default Beetel wifi router that comes with Airtel connection, if that helps. Without going into the SNMP solution, you can try out Untangle CE proxy server in the GW box that Vivek has suggested. I believe the CE will give you summary of individual station data downloads. that is the only way ( doing metrics at the edge ) that you are going to get accurate figures. Also might be worth making sure your neighbours are not 'sharing' the connections :) Am sure they are not, as its secured and we know nobody in the neighbourhood, yeah we are bad at that :) The fact that you don't know anybody in the neighborhood does not mean they will not use your connection :) Security - it all depends on the Wi-Fi security option you have chosen - min.

Hopefully, your /home is on a separate disk partition. Nevertheless, back up your /home + plus any other customized config files. After back up, I would suggest you repartition your disk to 10GB for install partition (/ + other sys dirs), 2GB for swap, and the remainder for /home. I have a 18GB HDD with Debian Squeeze. I have carved it out 6GB for installation, 2GB for swap and the remainder for /home. Base Debian + XFCE4 desktop takes about 1.2GB for the installation. Even for the desktop Debian will install only the minimal GUI packages and let you add your favorite apps later.
