[gentoo-user] Want to seriously test a NEW hard drive
Howdy, I finally got me a 3Tb drive on the way. Should be here Wednesday. I have seen some reviews where it would not work right. I think some of it may be BIOS related since some BIOS's don't like drives that large. Anyway, I want to test this thing real good to really make sure it is up to the task before putting my data on it. It's going to be so much data, there is really no way to do back-ups at this point. Come on, 2 to 3Tbs on 4Gb DVDs. Really? lol Maybe a external drive later on but for now, well. I have heard of bonnie and friends. I also think dd could do some testing too. Is there any other way to give this a good work and see if it holds up? Oh, helpful hints with Bonnie would be great too. I have never used it before. Maybe someone has some test that is really brutal. Thanks Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
Re: [gentoo-user] Want to seriously test a NEW hard drive
On Kindle so hard to answer in depth. What about smartctl??? Let the drive test itself.

Maybe someone has some test that is really brutal. smartctl -t long /dev/sdb will make the drive start a selftest. This will take a while, and even more if the drive is being used otherwise, as this test should not impact its performance. Use smartctl -l selftest to view the results. As long as there is no number in the 'LBA_of_first_error' column, it should be okay. That is a reading test only, badblocks -sw /dev/sdb will make it perform a write-mode test. It uses four different patterns, I would be okay with only one test, so I'd either stop it when it is done writing and comparing the first pattern, or supply a test pattern with option -t. Wonko

[gentoo-user] Problems with help2man and Perl
Hi all, I've having a bit of a problem with doing an update world. When I do an emerge -NuD world things chug along a bit then the build for help2man fails, having a problem with Locale::gettext. A Google search mentions using perl-cleaner. I run perl-cleaner and it results in a whole lot of stuff being rebuilt, including Perl. I then run the emerge again and for some reason it wants to rebuild perl again, a different version to what perl-cleaner rebuilt. The emerge progresses past building perl , gets back to help2man and fails again. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be going wrong here? I have a feeling I should be unmerging a lot of stuff then remerging it. Any thoughts greatly appreciated, Andrew p.s. Sorry about the English, I've had a lot of chocolate and Tokay :)

some time ago i have played with bonnie++ to figure out my hard disk performance
using different filesystems and io schedulers. the script invokes 3 bonnie
instances; each instance runs its own set of tests: write/read/rewrite a 30gb
file followed with different file operations on 48k small files spread over 32
sub-directories:
#!/bin/bash
#
scratch=${1:-$(pwd)}
#
date
ft=$(df -Pl $scratch|tail -1|awk '{print $6}')
mnt=($(mount|grep $ft ))
dev=$(basename $(readlink -fn ${mnt[0]}))
sched=$(cat /sys/block/$dev/queue/scheduler|sed -e 's/.*\[//1' -e 's/\].*//1')
log=$dev-${sched}-${mnt[4]}
echo $log
rm -f ${log} ${log}.html
/usr/sbin/bonnie++ -p 3
/usr/sbin/bonnie++ -qd $scratch -n48:128K:16K:32 -ys -s30g -mg1 ${log}
/usr/sbin/bonnie++ -qd $scratch -n48:128K:16K:32 -ys -s30g -mg2 ${log}
/usr/sbin/bonnie++ -qd $scratch -n48:123K:16K:32 -ys -s30g -mg3 ${log}
wait
/usr/sbin/bonnie++ -p -1

this script worked around 30mins on a sata3 1tb drive. presuming your 3tb, you
may adjust the file size and/or number of bonnie instances to fill up the disk
space; then start the script and leave it running for a day. i guess this test
would be brutal enough and on completion the disk might be considered good :)

Why should two versions of perl be fighting for top dog on your machine? The only reason I can think of at the moment (being sadly without either Tokay or chocolate to stimulate my brain) is that you may have masked or unmasked one or more versions of perl or a perl package for reasons long forgotten? I use something like 'grep -r perl /etc/portage/*' to check for packages I masked/unmasked and then forgot about. Which two versions of perl are competing, and also what arch and gentoo profile are you running?

I doubt his perl version is flip-flopping, he doesn't actually say that, only that perl-cleaner repeatedly want to rebuild perl. Andrew: Don't try and fix things when the first ebuild crashes. Just resume skipfirst and let the emerge complete. Then see what remains. You might have to emerge @preserved-rebuild too - all the usual tools. If perl-cleaner still needs running, then post the full output, including any reasons why it wants to rebuild perl (changed USE etc) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
[gentoo-user] Gentoo on a Beaglebone
Hi, here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~armin76/arm/beaglebone/install.xml I found a description how to setup a Gentoo for a Beaglebone, an Cortex A8 Linux platform.
