Hi: Major mistake (shutting down the ups unit) while doing a parallel computation on all 8 processors (UMA-type machine amd64 lenny with raid 1 two disks).
On restarting the machine and the computation, "fdisk -l" showed "Disk /dev/md6 doesn't contain a valid partition table" "df -h" showed 97G 1.1G 91G 2% /home (which should have been ca 70% used). All other partitions were OK, as they should be. "top -i" showed all 8 instances fo the parallel procedure md6_resync (CPU% 6) md5_resync (CPU% 0) kjournald After some time md6_resync, md5_resync, kjournald disappeared, leaving only the 8 parallel procedures. Commanding "cat density6.out" the parallel procedure seems to work regularly, confirmed by "la -l" which shows all files (some as large as 100MB) for the present computation and the 5 analogous computations already carried out (of these five computations I had scp sent a copy to my desktop). Where are the data for the current 6th computation being stored? The computer was then shutdown and restarted df -h output as above. fdisk -l Neither /dev/md6 nor /dev/md5 have a valid partition table. cd to my home shows all directories and files for work (in my home only data from computations, all applications installed in /usr/local). What could I do to set up the sytem in order before resuming the computation? Thanks francesco pietra -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
