Re: [gentoo-user] grub over the top of Win XP
Neil Bothwick wrote: Correct, and /dev/hda5 is (hd0,4) despite all the conflicting advice you've been given. All my boxes have /boot on hda5 and all use hd0,4 (well, except the iBook which uses that horrible yaboot thing, anyone who wants to start a grub vs. lilo flame war should be made to use yaboot). Sorry for the confusing answers. I was pretty sure grub doesn't care wether your partions are primary or logical, giving each a number starting from 0. Appearantly this is *not* the case. From the docs: (hd0,1) Here, `hd' means it is a hard disk drive. The first integer `0' indicates the drive number, that is, the first hard disk, while the second integer, `1', indicates the partition number (or the PC slice number in the BSD terminology). Once again, please note that the partition numbers are counted from _zero_, not from one. This expression means the second partition of the first hard disk drive. In this case, GRUB uses one partition of the disk, instead of the whole disk. (hd0,4) This specifies the first extended partition of the first hard disk drive. Note that the partition numbers for extended partitions are counted from `4', regardless of the actual number of primary partitions on your hard disk. Hope this made things clearer now...

Re: [gentoo-user] Introducing RAID 1 into a running system
Heinz Sporn wrote: Question: may I run mkraid /dev/md0 on the fly now or will that somehow destroy the partition table on the entire disk A ? This wont't work since only data written to md0 gets mirrored. You can't mirror an existing partition. An mkraid will probably destroy partition A2. You'll have to unmount the partiton A2 and mount md0 at some time. There's no way to do this on the fly AFAIK. But theres still a little shortcut: First, let me recommend you mdadm. It's a replacement for the old raidtools. *Much* better IMHO. - Create a new RAID1 in degraded state from B2: # mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level 1 --raid-devices 2 /dev/B2 missing - Copy contents from A2 to md0 - umount A2 - add A2 to md0: # mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/A2 Christoph -- echo mailto: NOSPAM !#$.'*'|sed 's. ..'|tr * !#:2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Moreover, I expected that all mail will be in /var/spool/mail, so I created /var relatively big and now I see that it is almost empty. Well, normally your /home isn't that small, so that shouldn't be a problem too... Even my pop3 server does not look for new mail in $HOME/.maildir, so no user can download his mail throught pop3...

No, that's not a problem. gcc won't use your settings from make.conf if invoked by distcc. But make sure you use the same gcc-versions on all boxes.

Yes it is possible. But you need the shell (which handles the redirect)
to run as root.
$ sudo echo package ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords
will run the redirection as user, where:
$ sudo bash -c echo package ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords
will run the redirection as root.
For stuff like this, I'd recommend you to write simple shell functions:
addkeyword(){
sudo bash -c echo $* /etc/portage/package.keywords
}
Write them in your .bashrc and their avaible when you need it.
Use it like this:
$ addkeyword package ~x86

This affects only output via syslog. During the md autorun, the kernel hasn't
even finished booting. The post was about output from dmesg, the kernel
ringbuffer. AFAIK there's no way around a kernel patch.
I use the following instructions to filter out the PHY reset until link
up messages that I get when eth0 is up (required for ifplugd to
function), but not connected to anything. It can easily be adapted for
the RAID messages.
# The eth reset messages also bug me...
filter not_eth_reset {
not(match(PHY reset until link up));
};
log { source(src); filter(not_eth_reset); destination(messages); };
Nice example though. Haven't used syslog filtering by now.
