Hi, Just got Fedora FC1 vanilla 2.4.25kernel+libata8patch booting problems, FC1 complains that it can not automatically find&found partitions specified with "LABEL=" in /etc/fstab, and then falls me into repair mode. In the repair mode I can mount it manually without any problems. More interesting are: 1) I have several partitions specified with "LABEL=*" in

Hi, Theodore, Thanks for your tests. But I got the problem and got it FIXED by flushing out the contents of /etc/blkid.tab before cloned clients reboot. I'm using the e2fsprogs-1.34-1 comes with Fedora Core 1. hello06.alexa.com root 135% rpm -qf /sbin/fsck e2fsprogs-1.34-1 hello06.alexa.com root 136% and the original contents in /etc/blkid.tab are attaching below, while my

Hi, all, I "found" a big bug either related with Linux Ext3 file system or "bin/ls" command. The problem is: File system is no more than 220GB, but "/bin/ls" reports holding >370GB data! The system is Redhat 8.0, with a Generic Kernel 2.4.20. Any suggestions are greately appreciated. more information can be available upon requests. The following is the

Hi, I have an ext3 file system question for a while: How to obtain failed file (inode) from LBA section reported by Linux kernel? The following lines are a simple example: ... FCbox1: Nov 1 04:08:59 FCbox1 kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } FCbox1: Nov 1 04:08:59 FCbox1 kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=165843413, high=9,

Hi, all, I got machines running continuously for long time, but then the underlying ext3 file systems becomes quite heavily fragmented (94% non-contiguous). We just don't have a chance to shutdown the machines since they are always busy.. I tried the defrag 0.70 version comes with e2fsprog package and standalone 0.73 packages, but neither help me since the defrag tool can not handle ext3.

Hi, Stephen and Jeff, Thanks. But the problem got debugged&fixed, the answer was post on fedora-list about 2 weeks ago. The problem is: the /etc/blkid.tab file works as an old unappropriate disk partitions cache for fsck|blkid commands when stystem image is installed to a different arch (scsi->ide) machine, the old cache will mislead fsck|blkid at the first run and only the first run,

Hi, Marc, Thanks for your help! a "ls -alFs" command shows the difference, Theodore Ts'o talked about it at https://listman.redhat.com/archives/ext3-users/2003-January/msg00008.html. Both File system and "/bin/ls" contains no bugs, my knowledge databse in my mind got lots of ""Bugs" instead. :) vista104 /0 > ls -alF total 211233264 drwxrwxr-t 5

Hi, Any one know how the Centos 5 kickstart initrd.img was built? I'll be very appreciated if any light can be shed on this topic. The basic problem to be solved here is: how to build a custom vmlinuz+initrd.img for Centos 5 kickstart with my own custom built kernel? I am not sure mkinitrd is the right tool for this purpose? If do, which are the modules I should include with

Hi Last week I had a lengthy thread in which someone indicated the my SIL card is a FRAID (don't know if F stands for the F word or Fake, though it doesn't really matter). I want to replace the controller with a controller that Linux will see the RAID1 group as a single HD and not multiple HDs as it happens with the SIL controller. Recommendations anyone? -- TIA Paolo --------------

Hi, Has any one tried to merge a custom kernel into vmlinuz/initrd.img for Centos 5 kickstart? Or similar Linux distribution? I am rebuilding a custom kernel from stock kernel source to build some hardware modules into static form, so that the hardware detection sequence can be altered in a hard way. Quick examples are: tg3 drivers will be loaded before e1000, 3w-9xxx be loaded before

Hi, I encounter a problem to install FC3 on one of our machine, the machine has two SATA hard drives connected directly to motherboard which will use the ata_piix kernel module, and two other SATA hard drives connected through a Promise SATA card which is driven by sata_promise kernel module. The problem is: FC3 anaconda loads sata_promise module before ata_piix module by default, and this

Hi, I tried to make kickstart environment a little bit more charming by firing up openssh daemon in the limited environment. I edited/checked a bunch of files and almost succeeded but still not. I can reach the machine to run a command like 'ssh -x <kickstartClient> <command>' and it does work for %pre and both chroot and non-chroot %post sections, in fact, you can run a

Hi, curently running centos4.4 with a board having promise sata controller. If I try to update to centos-5, the installer hangs up. No problems under centos-4.4.
