How to mount a filesystem with ownership rights

2002-12-15 Thread Collins
I've created a separate partition for my daughter's mp3 collection,
and this is mounted via fstab to /home/cecilia/mp3.

The only problem is, she can't created new directories.  Each time I
have to su, mkdir, and chown.

How can I automated the mount and get the correct permissions?

AVIFILE... compile tip...

2002-12-15 Thread Jerry McBride

I decided to upgrade my installed avifile (video player) and ran into a small
hitch. Target platform is COL 3.1.1. During ./configure I found I was missing a
decoder named: xvid After visiting the xvid homepage with a tarball... I was
unable to compile it. The version of nasm that ships with col 3.1.1 is a bit out
of date now and as such not able to accept multiple input files on the
commandline. Grabbing the most recent nasm version off of sourceforge fixed that
problem and xvid compiled cleanly using the Makefile.linuxx86 makefile.

I now have an up to date Avifile from which I use Aviplay to watch all those
neat *.avi's I get off the inet. Be sure, this recent version of aviplay is as
smooth as silk, even on an old k6-2 450 laptop...

What is the owner/group of /home/cecilia/mp3? that needs to have some 
GID or UID that matches cecilia or chmod 777 the directory.. not the 
best plan i would say...

In fstab:
/dev/hdb1/home/download   reiserfs   defaults  0 0

or something similar with _your_ information.. man fstab

then run the mount -a command and there you be.

Possibly add a 'uid=X' option to the entry in fstab?  I know a 'gid=X' 
options works. Alternatively, you could add the 'umask=000' option, 
which would allow anyone to have 0777 perms.

Can you add user to your fstab mount line?

/dev/hda10 /mnt/hda10   ext2 defaults,user 0  0

This will allow any user to mount a directory. (But it's not auto, she would 
have to mount it. gkrellm works well, or if you are using a wm with desktop 
icons it's easy to right click/mount.)

Fancy New Computer: Will it work with linux?

2002-12-15 Thread Joel Hammer
Well, I am buying a new computer for my college son, since he says it hurts
his back to carry his laptop back and forth to school (he has to walk 4 or 5
city blocks). So, I am bidding on the following machine on eBay. It sounds
nice, but I would like someone to explain a couple of items to me.

==New fancy computer specifications=
Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz 

533 MHz System Bus Speed Socket 478 
Hyper Pipelined Technology
NEW 512k Advanced L2 Advanced Transfer Cache!!
128 Bit Enhanced Floating Point Unit
Advanced Dynamic Execution

Motherboard 
Pentium 4 Motherboard

SiS® 645DX  SiS® 962L chipset
Integrated USB 2.0
ATX P4S5A/DX Motherboard
2 DDR Slots, 2 SDRAM Slots, UDMA 100
2 USB Ports in Back, 2 USB Ports in Front
1 Parallel/Printer Port, 2 Serial Ports
USB 2.0 Ready!

Memory
512MB PC2700 DDR RAM 333MHz 
Lifetime Warranty
168-Pin DIMM
===End of new fancy computer specifications

1.  How do they gave a bus speed of 533 (or is that a clock speed?). They seem to be
taking the 133 bus speed and multiplying it by 4. What's going on?

2. What's with this DDR RAM 333 MHz stuff.

3. They mention, somewhere, chip drivers supplied by SiS for windows XP.
Why are they needed?

I have lost touch with the leading edge$$ of desktop computer technology,
ever since getting children. I am asking these question in part because
I would like to know if the advanced features of this computer can
be used in linux. Most of my computers in the house are ancient AT
boxes running linux (I have one Athlon Firebird, the rest are made from
scraps.) I have given up the idea of trying to buy AT motherboards and
will replace some of these boxes soon. I might try getting more of these
great sounding computers if they can run linux effectively.


Thanks,

Joel

Geez.. what do laptops weigh, like eight pounds?  Exercise and muscle building 
might be cheaper... though every son wants a new computer or at least parts

He doesn't really need something that fast unless he's doing some really high 
powered stuff like video editing.

 533 MHz System Bus Speed Socket 478
 Hyper Pipelined Technology

Hyperthreading is going to help if you ever want to upgrade the CPU- the new 
3.06ghz P4 is hyperthreaded, as the Xeons have been for some time.

 128 Bit Enhanced Floating Point Unit

 Motherboard

 SiS® 645DX  SiS® 962L chipset

I'm guessing that's Asus because their model names look something like that.  
Asus is known to be quite reliable.

 2 DDR Slots, 2 SDRAM Slots, UDMA 100

hmm.. remember you can only use one or the other.  I don't like the idea of 2 
slots for RAM because it makes expansion difficult, but to each his own.

 2 USB Ports in Back, 2 USB Ports in Front
 1 Parallel/Printer Port, 2 Serial Ports
 USB 2.0 Ready!

Should be fine- make sure the kernel is new enough to have EHCI support for 
USB 2.0

 Memory
 512MB PC2700 DDR RAM 333MHz

 1.  How do they gave a bus speed of 533 (or is that a clock speed?). They
 seem to be taking the 133 bus speed and multiplying it by 4. What's going

The front side bus of the newer Pentium 4's is 533mhz.

 2. What's with this DDR RAM 333 MHz stuff.

The RAM is Double Data Rate clocked at 333Mhz.

 3. They mention, somewhere, chip drivers supplied by SiS for windows XP.
 Why are they needed?

Because the motherboard is newer than XP, XP doesn't have support out of the 
box.

Ahh.. that explains having both DDR and SDR slots.  Apparently they're pretty 
good, and pretty cheap.  But I don't see any reason to be looking to Ebay for 
a new motherboard, as you'll find plenty of cheap stuff just by looking at 
Pricewatch.  My mb was something like $109, and I went overboard on the RAM 
and got PC3200, which is only running at PC2700 right now, and for a total of 
about $300, I tripled my comp's speed, and made it so I could upgrade to the 
latest and greatest Athlon XP's, which the old board didn't support.  That 
$109 motherboard is currently selling for more like $85-$90 now.

that's because most linux games hadn't pushed the limit. Try soemthing

Nayway, if you don't allow games in computers, P4 is an overkill at its

Could you name a decent Athlon option from either one that supports stuff like

think it's just EPoX's 8K5A3+ that's a lemon board, though I did have the

 to its limits.  Also SiS makes hardware that is notiriously incompatible
 with Linux.

 I really don't know of a good mb manufacturer to turn to- I have one
 complaint with my EPoX board, and that's with its shutdown/reboot
 abilities- I have to shut off the power supply when rebooting, otherwise
 the USB ports don't initialize.

I've had very good experiences with both Tyan  Intel for mobos.


Could you name a decent Athlon option from either one that supports stuff like 
PC3200 DDR, IDE RAID, a good 4 GB of RAM, and 6 USB 2.0 ports?  I actually 
think it's just EPoX's 8K5A3+ that's a lemon board, though I did have the 
problem that my reset button didn't work with the 8KTA3Pro once I upgraded 
from Radeon VE to Radeon 8500

Those are some rather non-traditional requirements you have there. 
Generally speaking anything over 2GB is a server board, not a desktop 
board, and USB ports aren't something you find on server boards, at 
least not in high numbers.  Then again, why do you need 6 onboard USB 
ports?  USB muliplexors are relatively cheap.  At any rate, here are the 
current Tyan offerings for AMD chips:

Needless to say, Intel doesn't make boards for AMD products.

I'm giving those features because they are what my current board offers.  I'd 
rather have one that works fully, though.

Yeah, I knew that ;-)

I've created a separate partition for my daughter's mp3 collection,

The only problem is, she can't created new directories.  Each time I
have to su, mkdir, and chown.

How can I automated the mount and get the correct permissions?
