I turned off the PC, plugged the drive back in and powered it back on, but the array stayed as failed. Is there a way to recover the data? I heard dmraid supports ich9r raid volumes, but I keep getting an error saying unsupported map state 2. I found out that dmraid doesnt' support raid 5 (at least not on a ICH9R chip). I heard about this patch: http://people.redhat.com/heinzm/sw/dm/dm-raid45/, but I'm not sure how to apply it to a linux live cd. Does anyone have any idea? Is there maybe a way to reset the metadata to make the intel controller boot the array anyway? One of the best live Linux CD's out there is the FC8 http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/8/Live/ uses the 2.6.23 kernel. Knoppix 5.1 is Jan07 and kernel 2.6.19 BTW, I hear a lot of negative things about dmraid and fakeraid. I have an FC5 desktop box dual booting WinXP and FC5 on fakeraid/Raid0 thats been perfect for over 3 years. That includes a kernel upgrade in FC5, which required me to run mkinitrd (since it froze during boot) to get it working. Do you think that live cd will have raid5 support for dmraid, or will I have to use that patch? Russ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

A short time ago a message on this list referred to an OSS project called ledgersmb. I am having a deal of difficulty getting this installed and as the web page at www.ledgersmb.org yields a "page not found" error and the ledger-smb-users mailing list seems very lightly used I wonder if someone here could help me out? I have ploughed through all of the perl dependencies for ledgersmb v-1.2.13, thanks to Dag's repositories, but I have run up against a roadblock on this: Installing: ledgersmb noarch 1.2.13-1 ledgersmb-1.2.13-1.noarch.rpm 9.2 M Installing for dependencies: dialog i386 1.0.20051107-1.2.2 base 162 k perl-Smart-Comments noarch 1.0.3-1.el5.rf dag23 k tetex i386 3.0-33.2.el5_1.2 updates13 M tetex-latex i386 3.0-33.2.el5_1.2 updates 5.4 M Transaction Summary = Install 5 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 28 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 8da0af10 Public key for ledgersmb-1.2.13-1.noarch.rpm is not installed However, I believe that I have imported this key, at least I did this: # curl http://ledgersmb.org/files/ledgersmb.pub-key.gpg > ledgersmb.pub-key.gpg % Total% Received % Xferd Average Speed TimeTime Time Current Dload Upload Total SpentLeft Speed 100 1048 100 10480 0 7494 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 # rpm --import ledgersmb.pub-key.gpg and yet I keep getting the same key not installed error: My questions are several. 1.

This may seem dumb, but are you sure it's not your keyboard? I use a Logitech EX110 wireless keyboard and mouse, and every once in a while the number keypad goes silent, and then it comes back for no particular reason. Could your Mod key be misbehaving? Thanks for the pointers. This is a new keyboard, installed because I spilled some oil on the last one (it's amazing how frustrating programming without a working 9 key is). The mod key never starts/stops working during a session .. it's always rebooting that changes it to/from working state. Also, there are three key bindings files in gnome (none of which I recall by name at the moment) but you need to make sure they all are set correctly (there's one for each section of the keystroke preferences window - desktop, multimedia and windows). I had some problems similar to this when the right settings wound up in the wrong file, but nothing as sporadic as what you're describing. I've had a look at what gnome-keybinding-properties gives me, and see it controls stuff like the workspace switching keys. My alt-1, alt-2 etc. bindings always work, regardless of the dodgy mod key. It's only the mod key, among all the keybindings that I use in heavy programming sessions i.e. using lots of keybindings in lots of apps, that is intermittent as I described. Having said that, the only utility to which I put my windows key is the metacity keybindings as I described. I'm in a session now where my mod4 key is not working. I just tried setting the 'switch to workspace 1' gnome-keybinding-properties key to mod4-1 instead of alt-1. This app has the benefit over the gconf-editor in that it reads keypresses that you type and enters the keycodes for you. As soon as I press the windows key, it enters "Super_L" and refuses to accept the '1'. Trying to assign mod4-2 to workspace 2 results in it accepting Super_L and complaining that that is already assigned. I haven't come across Super_L before. Some googling led me to http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-46657.html , which indicates I should change my "Alt/Win key behaviour" from "Default" (whatever that is) to something else. Trying "Meta is mapped to the Win-keys" causes g-k-p to come up with x, and suddenly the old x binding in gconf's metacity section is working, running xterm as requested. So I guess my problem was the System->Preferences->Keyboard=>Layout Options->Alt/Win key behaviour setting being Default. I'll play around more on other reboots and see if the Super_L behaviour changes for any reason.
