(assuming it's the same filesystem) On my system with local disks I think it took less than an hour to copy the Lenny 48G of source and binaries for i386 and amd64 architectures. I doubt it is worthwhile to try to hack the scripts to avoid it just to save an hour of time. Easier to just copy it and be done with it. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Sigh. P.S. I find quite hard to understand why there are users who despite consider my postings to be sort a "newbie killers" and "soft-mind perverters" are still replying to them. The only conclusion I can reach for this behaviour is that: 1/ my posts contain some kind of magnetic material that inevitably attracts them (though I haven't have found any trace of ferrite in the headers) or 2/ is just they want to make noise. I will have to deeply think in which of the both options hold the true. Mmmm...

I suppose you are referring here to linux software raid (mdadm), right? If that's the case, you can have the number of volume partitions under the RAID1 your system can manage. In fact, that's the usual setup, I mean, if you have two physical hard disks (sda and sdb), you'll have md0 (sda1+sdb1) for /boot, md1 (sda2+sdb2) for /, md2 (sda3+sdb3) for /home, md3 (sda4+sdb4) for /var, etc... What is not a good idea is to share/mix "non-raided" partitions with "raided-ones" because an error in one of the disks will expose the running system. It is thus recommended to have all the partitions in a disk holding raid volumes inside a raid set. But still... is this "a perfect" setup? Maybe not and some people would instead recommend adding LVM over the RAID 1 to make your disk layout even more flexible and configurable over the time. But note that's something that will add "two" extra layers of complexity in your configuration (first, the software raid and then, the LVM) and while that setup can be seen as an advantadge, unexperienced users could easily make fatal mistakes (with data loss) while setting it up. Again, I would prefer running whatever tests you need to do from a virtualized environment where you can break things without having to worry the day after :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi list! I have just a little question to aptitude, and I think, it can be easily answered. The Problem: With the command "apt-get --purge remove 3.0.1-*" I can uninstall all packages containing 3.0.1-something. I use this for installing older kernels and headers as well as selfbuild kernel modules. This works very well! But how can I do the same with aptitude? I suppose, aptitude is using regexp, but I am noz sure. And I am not well experienced with regexp. Is aptitude using regexp??? Any hints are welcome. Best regards Hans P.S.

>http://idle3-tools.sourceforge.net
Well, I've downloaded the idle3-tools-0.9.1.tgz and compiled it.
The first test has shown:
# ./idle3ctl -g /dev/sda
Idle3 timer set to 80 (0x50)
So it seems that the idle3 timer is really set to 80 which according to the
info in
the idle3ctl.8 it corresponds to 8 seconds!
However, before I decided to disable the idle3 timer, I wanted to verify,
that the problem still persists.
What's strange - today no continuous loading/unloading of heads takes place.
The conditions are the same as yesterday. Even yesterday I've restarted the
machine
(cycling the power off/on) after changes in /etc/hdparm.conf, and even with that
the Load_Cycle_Count was continuosly increasing.
Today it still the same, increasing by one only after power off/power on.
Of course I have waited until the rkhunter and updatedb finched their work
(as they kept the disk active).
So finally I'm giving up. I set the idle3 timer to disabled in the WD drive.
Switch the machine off and on (as described here:
http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/forum/t-351295/the-s-m-a-r-t-attribute-193-load-unload-counter-keeps-increa
it is necessary to switch the machine off and on to really disable the idle3
timer
after idle3ctl is used).
I also have the following added at the end of /etc/hdparm.conf:
/dev/sda {
apm = 255
apm_battery = 255
}
I hope it will allow my disks to survive next few years (curent count is:
282588 L_C_C
after 3580 Power_on_hours and 1686 Power_on_Counts in Seagate ST9500420AS,
and 97309 L_C_C after 1481 Power_on_hours and 692 Power_on_Counts in Western
Digital
WDC WD7500BPKT-75PK4T0
Thanks a lot for all suggestions!

In my experience, these types of system freezes are often hardware problems, and from what you describe (i.e. independent of which driver is being used) that would be my guess here. If I were you I would shutdown, power off, disconnect the power cord, open the case, and carefully clean (without water!) everything.

OK. Unloading is normal harmless and so on... However what's strange in my case - unloading occures, wehen I USE my laptop remotely. (As my laptop has much higher performance than my desktop workstation, while the workstation has better keyboard, mouse and monitor, I very often work via remote ssh or X session). When working remotely, the laptops screen remains black, and when I e.g. edit my VHDL sources, loading may be simply caused by the autosave option in the editor. So the problem is why there is a difference between work on local keyboard (no unloading/loading due to entering the idle state) and remote work? I'd like to prevent the disk from entering the idle state, when working remotely... -- Wojtek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I suppose you're correct, since it is the IPv4-specific part of netfilter, and it does hook into several places of the IP stack, and it knows IPv4. I should probably have written it as "drop it in the RAW table, which happens very early in the packet's processing by the IP stack." -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

NAT is not intended for filtering. By not masquerading outgoing traffic, you just let packets go out with their original source address instead of dropping them. You just rely on the ISP router not knowing how to handle the original source address. This is wrong. The right way is to only accept specific through your router, and then NAT all traffic that was allowed to go out. Ok, it is a bit more complicated. iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE iptables -t filter -P FORWARD DROP iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED \ -j ACCEPT iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -o eth0 -m state --state NEW \ -p tcp --dport 110 -j ACCEPT >> now i am stuck on allowing the ping traffic. please help iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -0 eth0 -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request \ -j ACCEPT Joe wrote : > only TCP and UDP have 'ports' No. ICMP does not have ports, but other protocols such as SCTP and DCCP have ports too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Finding upgradable packages by priority
Hi, I run testing and after 5 days without upgrading, I have around 100 upgradable packages. Normally, I upgrade when reaching the (arbitrarily chosen) number 100, but I would like to have a better way of deciding when I want to upgrade something. What I would like to have is a way of finding upgradable packages where the upgrade has a priority that is medium or high priority. The intention is to make it easier for me to find out what important upgrades are available, and decide based on that if when I want to upgrade. I assume this kind of search would require downloading the changelog for each upgradable package, and looking at all entries that are more recent than the installed version, then returning a match to the search if any of those versions are marked priority=meduim or above. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish what I want in an automated fashion? Regards Johan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

But the right way to do it is to NAT everything going out with one rule, and then use iptables rules with other targets to allow only what you want to go in or out. You can build more complex and versatile rulesets that way. More importantly, they are easier to read and modify later. By the way, squid is a proxy only for the http protocol, i.e. web pages. It does not process anything else, and is just one application on your machine. This isn't a Debian-specific enquiry, and you might get more replies in a more general Linux and/or firewall newsgroup, or a forum for any specific management software you may be using. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Squid as default gateway in proxy mode.
i have lately installed SQUID proxy and to avail all the facilities i am using it as Proxy mod not as Transparent mode neither i wanted to. now the problem part is i want to ping outside host to verify the connectivity of internet for that all the time i have to open the SSH the console and ping. but what i want is, i should also ping it from host computers as well. however i don't want to NAT all the traffic coming from inside and going outside. rather what i want is just to NAT only ICMP Echo Rep and Req so that i can at least ping outside host with out SSH the Squid console. which is very bothering. My network diagram is very simple eth0(192.18.30.2)--<192.168.30.1-ISP Router> I I eth1(192.168.1.1) I I (local network 192.168.1.0/24) And why i am using Squid as a Gateway because i just want to minimize unwanted nods that needs to be monitor all the time and batter control over traffic with IPtables firewall. i am using this line to NAT very specific ports to allow certain facilities like Email , Remote desktop and stuff. and this is working for me. iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p TCP --dport 110 -j MASQUERADE now i am stuck on allowing the ping traffic. please help Thanks,

Re: Trouble with Nvidia driver
Hi! I'd like to thank the kind replies of Bob and Daniel. With regard to their suggestions, they might like to know that: - changing 'nvidia' for 'vesa' unfortunately didn't help; - I had memtest86+ run for a long time, and no ram errors were reported. But Bob's guess that perhaps it is not a driver-related problem may be correct. Today I finally decided to try Nvidia installer, and had the newest driver installed. And - unfortunately - the system continues to freeze. Therefore, the cause must lie somewhere else (if it is not a bug). I'll keep trying, but my ideas are running out. I would greatly appreciate fresh suggestions from the community.
