One that doesn't rely on tools that automate the process. In fact, an initramfs doesn't differ much from other root fs'es. Physically, it is a gzipped cpio archive. The kernel will compile it into the kernel itself if you tell it so (kernel configuration: configure a patch for initramfs data). If you want to create it manually and load it like a ram disk (i.e. use the boot loader to pass the initramfs to the kernel) you can rely on a script that is in your kernels ./scripts/ directory and an executable that gets compiled in ./usr/ like this: gen_initramfs_list.sh /path/to/initramfs/data | gen_init_cpio /dev/stdin | gzip -9 initramfs.gz Inside the initramfs you can create a userland. Kernel's entry point will be /init, which is supposed to be executable. You'll want to read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/early-userspace/README for the basics and then read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/initrd.txt (be careful to ignore the first part which is only initrd specific). You can put anything you want into your initramfs. If it's just some simple script that should be run, you're probably done with a statically compiled busybox executable and /init being a shell script. At the end of the script, you'll want to pivot_root into the real root filesystem and maybe delete initramfs data afterwards. I've never found really good documentation, but everything just works as expected. There's really nothing special with initramfs.

[gentoo-user] lan-http-replicator docs
Hello http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Download_Cache_for_LAN-Http-Replicator seems to be woefully out of date. I just had my lan-http-replicator server die and it took a while to figure out how to turn it off replicator (on a client machine) I had to look at /etc/profile.env and then issue: export http_proxy='' The file /etc/profile.env tells us to edit /etc/profile to make changes but it's just a script. Where do I turn off 'export http_proxy='192.168.2.9:8080' permanently so that it survives a system reboot? I.E. I do not want the client using LAN-Http-Replicator for a while... It's been so long since I set this up, and my (unreliable) memory tells me I had to hack at it extensively to get it to work, a very long time ago. Suggestions and newer docs are most welcome.

But grub and lilo do work very differently in their 'normal' configurations. Lilo records absolute disk blocks where the kernel is located, and loads the kernel directly from those blocks. This is why you have to re-run lilo every time you update your kernel. Grub however has some knowledge of filesystems, so can actually read the filesystem that contains the kernel to determine what blocks to load. So it is possible (not so much today, but in years past) to use a filesystem that linux understands but grub does not. -Richard Jarry -- Analog-/ISDN-Nutzer sparen mit GMX SmartSurfer bis zu 70%!

[gentoo-user] portage question
anyone know if you can compile something locally into your home
directory using portage without being root?
basically what I want to accomplish is like...
ROOT=/home/lamotte/compile emerge openssh
or
ebuild /path/to/ebuild/ merge
I would basically like to be able to install something without being
root into a local home directory.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks.

Are you absolutely sure about lilo? lilo used bios for disk sector read, but I think is not using anymore (quite a long time). Thanks to that you can have /boot (more exactly, kernel) wherever you want. int13h is called with following registers: AH: 02h (read sectors from drive) CH + 2low bits from CL: cylinder number (0-1023) rest 6bits from CL: sector number (1-63) DH: head (1-255) That's the famous 8-GB limit (and there are some more, equally famous), where you had to install kernel with old lilo to be able to boot it. But at least a couple of years there is no such a limit with lilo. I think I have read somewhere that lilo is not using bios for disk-access anymore. I'll try to dig it out...

This might be true on itanium or other non-x86 platforms (I know nothing about these). But on x86, the BIOS controls booting, and the OS cannot access the disks any other way than through the BIOS until it's own device drivers are loaded. So unless lilo has been adding device drivers for the plethora of SCSI, FC, IDE, SATA, IEEE1284, and USB disk controllers out there, and making them all fit in the impossibly small space of the MBR (~460 bytes?), it is using the BIOS for at least some actions. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] partitioning for multimedia performance and dual-booting linux/windex
On Thursday 20 April 2006 00:46 Neil Bothwick was like: Am I correct in understanding that I can use LVM2 to stripe a volume across more than one disk, just like a raid 0 setup, even if the disks are quite dissimilar? Would it be possible (or worthwhile) to allocate my old 40GB disk and a portion of my new disk (say another 40GB) to a single logical volume to be used as a fast audio and video scratchspace? (For Linux, that is -- I am aware that it wouldn't be accessible from Windows). I would keep the rest of disk in normal partitions to reduce the risk of losing all my data to disk failure. It is perfectly possible, but performance may suffer if one disk is slower than the other, compared with using the fast disk alone. Another option may be to use the old disk for the operating systems and the new one for data. Speed of the OS disk only affects program loading time, you would then get maximum performance when using the programs. Thanks for your help once again, Neil. The problem I am trying to solve is less about getting best all-round disk performance than it is to get super-duper disk performance when doing extremely disk intensive tasks such as video and audio editing. I'm not sure that having the OS or the swap on different disks because if I have enough memory I shouldn't need to access them very much while doing the audio and video stuff. The disks are probably not too dissimilar in terms of read and write speed (I'll need to look up the specs to verify this). However the cache sizes are quite different: 1MB as opposed to 8MB. Would the smaller cache make the older disk much slower in practice when it comes to writing or reading very large files -- slow enough to bog down the other one if a volume was striped across them?

[gentoo-user] netfilter: -P INPUT DROP in kernel
I was looking for a way to set the default rule for the INPUT chain to DROP. I do not want to change the rule with iptables -P INPUT DROP after loading the kernel, I want that the kernel/modules automatically DROPS everything after it has been loaded. You can do this with the FORWARD chain with the parameter forward=0, but nothing is implemented for the INPUT chain as far as i know. I looked inside the kernel source of the modules, and hey, it is easy to change. I recompiled the module, reloaded it. Perfect, now i have default DROP. But as it is so easy to edit, why is there no option in the kernel or a parameter for the module that allows to edit the default entries when loading the module? I can't image that I am the first one, who wants to have a secure linux, even if the firewall script (that could set -P INPUT DROP) fails or is delayed (i use parallel startup, so it could be that eth0 starts before iptables). Is their a reason why a default INPUT DROP policy is not supported in the kernel?

Hello All, I just saw this image showing settings related to user account in KControl http://www.kbfx.org/staticpages/images/screenshots/7.png When I check for the same under kcontrol on my system (KDE 3.5.2), I am unable to find it. Can some please help me in finding the package needed, in order to get that settings tab? TIA -- Regards, Abhay pgpC5VKhy50Mc.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [gentoo-user] No /dev/sda1 with Klingston usb disk. Wrong lsusb output.
Sorry for the delay responding to this thread. Whilst linux users' computers are immune to viruses, our bodies are not. I spent Tuesday evening through late Wednesday afternoon in bed with the flu, and I'm still not 100%.

I had this problem before, but it's not the case today :-( fdisk has no access to the /dev/sda device. Frederic and Konstantin... I have *EXACTLY* the same situation, and I figured out what was causing it, and I came up with with a workaround; I wouldn't call it a perfect solution. - My old, emergency backup machine is a 1999 Dell PIII, 450 mhz, with 128 megs of RAM, and USB 1.1 hardware. According to dmesg, the ehci_hcd code aborts at bootup, and only the ohci_hcd code runs. All my USB1 and USB2 devices run OK. Mind you, at USB 1.1 speeds, maybe I should say they *CRAWL* OK. The auto option for filesystem type works OK in both the mount command and in /etc/fstab. I could get away with an fstab entry like... /dev/sdb1 /mnt/external auto noauto,user,noatime,notail 0 0 and simply mount /mnt/external, regardless of what I hooked up to the USB port. - My relatively new AMD64 (in 32-bit mode) has USB2 hardware. I built both ohci_ocd ehci_ocd into the kernel. I experienced the following symptoms... - USB1 devices were totally flakey, sometimes they would show up as /dev/sdb1, and sometimes they wouldn't. When it didin't show up... So you have to do fdisk /dev/sdb, then quit, then the /dev/sdb1 is magically available for mounting. would usually work, but not always. - USB2 devices would show up OK, and run at USB2 speeds, but auto would *NOT* work as a filesystem type with either /etc/fstab or the mount command After a lot of screwing around I came up with the following workaround. - build ohci_hcd into the kernel - build ehci_hcd as a module. Do *NOT* auto-load the ehci_hcd module. - write local udev rules to generate symlinks for my USB devices. /etc/fstab has entries that mount the symlinks, and those entries specify the filesystem type. I use msdos for my camera's memory cards, vfat for my mp3 player, and reiserfs for my backup drives. Run in USB1.1 mode most of the time. When I'm backing up my hard drive to a USB2 drive, and I want the extra speed, I run the commands modprobe ehci_ocd udevstart ...before I plug in the backup drive. When I'm finished, and have removed the backup drive, I run the commands rmmod ehci_ocd udevstart ...and I'm back to where I was before. It's not perfect, but it works. -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
