okay here is my problem...I installed a software 
Raid-5 on mybox last night.   Here is what I did.  I downloaded 
and installed raidtools2 and mdadm.  Do I need both?  Next I wrote my 
raidtab file.  Here is what it looked like:
 
raiddev /dev/md0    
raid-level  
5    
nr-raid-disks   3    
nr-spare-disks  0    
persistent-superblock 1

32

0    
device  
/dev/sdb1    
raid-disk   
1    
device  
/dev/sdc1    
raid-disk   2
 
I placed this in the /etc/ 
directory.
 
I typed the command: 
mkraid/dev/md0
It proceeded to start copying data across the 3 
drives. I received no errors during this process.  I let the machine 
run for a while.  Should I have received a message when it was 
completed?   I then went back and logged out of root and was going to 
log in and do a normal shutdown.  It would not let me log back in.  It 
would not let me do anything.  I powered it down by the power button, and 
when I restarted, I get the error "Fast Data Access MMU missing", and it won't 
go any farther.  Can anybody give me an idea of what happened?  Do I 
need to make the drives look identical partition wise with Linux/swap size or do 
I need to make them Linux raid auto, or LVM Linux?  Do I need to install 
the raid-5 drivers at the start of the system install, or is that useless in my 
case?  System specs:

How to use debpartial-mirror?

2004-11-02 Thread Fraser Campbell

Hi,

I'm putting together a custom install cd and the first step seems to be 
getting a local mirror.  I am trying to do that with debpartial-mirror but 
I'm having trouble fine tuning the config.

Here is my basic /etc/debpartial-mirror.conf which seems to do a fine job of 
fetching the base system and installer components:

[mirror]
server=http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/

local_directory=/var/debian-mirror/
get_suggests=false
get_recomends=false
get_provides=true
archs=i386

[sarge]
include-task=/usr/share/debian-cd/tasks/debian-installer
filter=main:base:* main:*:required main:*:important \
main/debian-installer:*:*

I'd like to add apache, postgres and other packages into my mirror but so far 
I haven't figured out how to do so.  So far I've added "include=main:apache" 
and "main:a:apache:* main:liba:libapache-mod-ssl:*" to the filter line, 
neither worked.

Does anyone know how to do this or can anyone point me in the direction of 
documentation?  I am using 0.2.8 version on sarge.

Thanks!

mdadm -Cv /dev/md0 -n3 -l5 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
the same for all your arrays. /dev/md1 /dev/md2 (with the right

Please keep in mind that your /boot need NOT to be raid 5, but raid 1 or 
no raid (I prefer raid1)

Hello all,

I'm a Linux newbie. Been trying RedHat, Fedora, Mandrake distros and finally
thought of something more serious so here I am. So far I was used to go for an
Ext3 filesystem for my 'root' and 'home' partitions. Very convenient, as I
don't know a lot about the other exotic filesystems available with Linux.
But here, installing a very freshly downloaded set of Debian cd's, the installer
did not offer me the 'EXT3' choice. The best I could get was 'EXT2'. How comes ?

By the way I find it kind of awkward that the default kernel offered by Debian
is a 2.2 (a pain in the arse if you think about setting up a sound device, as
Alsa is not included).

Could anyone enlighten me with some explanation ?

Thanx,

Hello all,

My name is Cameron Ball, and i've recently had an interest in linux. 
I've downloaded the Debian distro image.  And i've made a clean
partition on my main hard drive.  So, i then burnt the image onto a
disk, and attempted to boot it.  Nothing happened.  So i thought it
may be that my BIOS may not be set to boot from cd, so i checked, and
it was set to boot from cd, but just to be sure, i made it the first
boot device.  Then i reset.  still nothing.  So, then i thought it may
be because i had burnt it onto an CD RW, so i did it on a regular CD
R.  Still nothing.  I have read through the installation manual, and
can;t see anything of useage.

Can someone please help me out?

That's counter-intuitive.  Installed it, and it works fast and easily.  
A little to learn, but the man pages are all that is needed.  I shall

Not yet, but I read that man page too.  It will be useful (as long as I 
sort the write permissions in advance).

Hello,
you certainly try to install the (curent) stable (Woody or 3.0r) release of Debian:
you may consider to install the (curent) testing (Sarge or 3.15) version of Debain
(which is on the edge to be the next stable version): its installation is far easier
and it contains more recent stuff.
Bon courage,

Are you sure you burned it as an ISO image, or did you put the file
onto a new filesystem on the CD?  If you did the latter, do the former.

(bootdisk HOWTO & initrd) => "login incorrect" :-(

2004-11-02 Thread pir aa

Hi,

I tried to make a initrd (root has to stay in ram) image by hand, following
the suggestions of the bootdisk HOWTO. So I copied almost everything to my
image, but when I boot I am prompted to type in my login name. But after doing
so I receive four lines of "Login incorrect" (automaticly) and then "Maximum
number of liens exceeded".

Can someone tell me what could be wrong?

I copied /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow, as well as all libs under /lib/security
&/lib/*
I think the error occures because of the pam, but I could be wrong. Is there a
way to find out?
Thx Pir

Jerome BENOIT wrote:
Hello List,

Any idea ?
Thanks,
Jerome 
My experience is cheap ones can be pretty useless - for a start, they 
often need a USB connection, and make use of the processing power of 
your PC, rather than have a decent CPU in them.

I bought an US Robotics 8000-02 for 30 UK pounds from a shop which is 
expensive, so I guess you could get it 25 UK pounds online. I bought 
this to use professionally. It is total junk.

1) It has significant latency, so is slow.
2) The firewall always leaves one port open. I have phoned their support 
line about the latter issue, and was told to email the full details, 
which I did. That was about a week ago. No answer.

3) You are limited to 20 firewall rules. But only 10 incoming and 10 
outgoing. That is not really enough.

4) The 'DMZ' is next to useless - it is not really safe, being on the 
same subnet as the rest of the LAN.

At home I use an Intertex
http://www.intertex.se/
IX66 ADSL modem, router and firewall. That is very good. It is not as 
expensive as the Cisco's but is not too cheap either.

For example, it has a Demilitrised zone (DMZ), as all the routers do. 
But the DMZ machines are on a different subnet. So if you run a web 
server, and someone hacks the web server, there is no way they can hack 
your LAN. There  is no communication between the DMZ and the LAN, 
although there is the other way around. Most DMZ's have the thing on the 
same subnet as your LAN, which is not a good idea. It is safer than 
having the web server on your LAN, but not as good as having it on a 
different ethernet cable, on a different subnet. The cheap ones have 
everything on a small switch.

Intertex are a Sweedish company, with excellent support on an online forum
http://ix66.techarena.org/forum/
You will see a post by me yesterday, and the answers came back within 
hours.
http://ix66.techarena.org/forum/index.php?topic=1423.0

There are numerous IX66 models, all of which differ a little, and you 
have to be careful to get what you want. But I would highly reccomend them.

Yesterday I bought an Intertex IX66 PF for work use. It was about 150 
pounds with VAT/carriage, compared to 30 for the US Robotics bit of 
junk. But it was well worth the money. Although in this case I am buying 
it for work, so are not payingfor it, I would buy another for home. I am 
very pleased with my home model, which costs a bit more, as it has the 
ADSL modem too.

I would add that the Intertex things require no USB connection to the 
PC. Although there is a USB, it is not needed, so drivers are not needed 
at all. You do all the configuration via a web interface. I run a Sun at 
home with Solaris on it, and use the ADSL modem with that. It has its 
only digital signal processor, running at about 150 MHz, so has plenty 
of power.

Good luck. But take my advice, beware of routers that are too cheap.

Yes. Woody is ancient. It's still the "current" version of Debian, which 
is why you found it and downloaded it, but it is soon to be replaced by 
a new version, named Sarge. You'd probably be much happier 
downloading/installing Sarge rather than Woody.

Historically, Debian has had longer releases than other distributions of 
Linux, which works out well for many system administrators who don't 
need the constant upgrade cycle prevalent in those other distros. For 
the more bleeding-edge users, Debian offers the "testing" (currently 
"Sarge") and "unstable" (always "Sid") branches.

adding custom kernel to iso?

2004-11-02 Thread Matt Price

Hi there,

I am switching the hard drive on my laptop using the following method:

rsync all files to a backup dir on a desktop
install new drive
boot from installation media & install base system on /dev/hda2
rsync files from old drive to /dev/hda1
edit lilo.conf & reboot from /dev/hda1

the problem is that lots of stuff on my laptop, including, I think,
the PCMCIA ethernet, doesn't work well with the stnadard kernels.  I'd
like to put my own custom kernel onto the install disk so that the
ethernet will work, thus allowing me to retrieve the rsynced files.  

sooo...  is this possible?  I have no idea how to do it.  

Thanks much as always for your help,

matt

If you're using KDE, you can use your favorite HTML editor and bookmark the 
FTP site in the file open dialog.  Just enter the FTP information in the 
"often used folders" bar (the one at the top), in the form 
ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]  You can then work with the files on the FTP site as 
if they're local.

As for uploading a bunch of files, you could use Konqueror.  Split your view 
in half, point one half at your local files, and the other put 
ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED] in the location bar, and then drag and drop.  You can 
also save your view as a profile, including the locations, so all you have 
to do is load a profile and your FTP site will come up automatically.

Hope that helps,

Justin Guerin

Digging around in some of my old experimental stuff reveals this
little C program which seems to be for providing access to that ioctl
from the command line. Compile with gcc fmts.c -o fmts (or whatever
else you want to call it). You need to know the hex codes for the
format you want, which your google search probably told you; if it
didn't have a poke through the kernel source and /usr/include/linux.

Disclaimer: it's a long time since I was fiddling with this and I
can't remember whether it actually works or not. I think it did though
:-)

Cisco Aironet C350 & airodump

2004-11-02 Thread Werner Otto

Hi All,

I installed airodump and have a Cisco Aironet C350 wireless card.

When I run the command:

airodump wifi0 test.pcap

I get an error:  "read: Network is down"

I am currently connected to the AP and browsing the internet, so the
network is not down.

What am I missing ?

Because the modules for ext3 (and other file systems) have not been loaded.  
If you want to install on ext3, you can download the module floppy, and 
load it before you partition your disk.  You will then see the option to 
choose ext3.  In this manner, you can also make other filesystems 
available, such as xfs and reiserfs.

Also, note that it is trivial to upgrade an ext2 file system to ext3 by 
using the tune2fs program.  This can be done at any time.

Once you have Debian installed, you can install a newer kernel.  Woody has 
2.4 series kernels available, though I don't recall what the latest is.

Of course, you could also follow the recommendation of the others on this 
list and download and install Sarge.  It's what I would do.  But, if you 
have a reason not to, then maybe the above information will help.

no cdaudio with alsa but ok with oss

Hi Debian!
I spoke to soon, saying that the migration to alsa was a piece of cake.
I have all sound, but no cd audio. I did have that with oss.
The cd slider does not show up in aumix nor alsamixer.
I googled for a clue.
libcdaudio is installed of course.
Anybody give me a hint?
To install alsa:
1. I enabled alsa and the card in the kernel but without modules.
2. I installed alsa-base.
That gave me sound. I forgot to test the cd, until today.

What is the nice value of X?  If it's -10, set it to 0.  The 2.6 scheduler 
doesn't need X niced to -10, but it was useful in 2.4.

1. Do you have the Redbook Audio Cable installed from said CDROM device
to said Sound card CD-IN input?
2. If not, did you remove it during the installation of alsa (wink
wink... joking here, unless you did remove it)
3. Have you tried Digital Audio Extraction, this is what "ripping" a CD
does. I know XMMS and Rhythmbox (only music stuff I use) does both.

The problem is the CD-Audio slider is not present, like I said in my

OSS. So the cable, etc. is like it was with OSS a week ago.

I found a post in Spanish:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&threadm=3d8798f4_3%40news.arrakis.es&rnum=18&prev=/groups%3Fas_q%3Dalsa%2520cdaudio%26safe%3Dimages%26as_scoring%3Dd%26lr%3D%26num%3D100%26hl%3Den
that describes it and the guy went back to OSS. I won't. The answer is
someplace. It isn't a bug because nobody talks about it.

Somehow Alsa has decided there is no cdaudio to be had.
I see no kernel config parms pointing to it.
Don't tell me I have to find their mailing list to find out :-(

It sort of does.  The qlogic SAN driver (as of 6.x series) does failover, but only if 
the port number of the LUNs is the same.  It just so happens that this means the card 
has to share the same loop if in loop mode (ie: a storage box with 4 loops), or do 
some trickery with the fabric in point to point mode (and I haven't found out what 
trickery that is, because I don't have a switch or two lying around)

Are you using the 8.x driver in 2.6 or something else?

I'm using the qlogic 6.x (and 7.x) series which works ok on RedHat 3, but kind of wigs 
on vanilla sources from kernel.org, at least when two HBAs are into the same loop to 
do failover.

I worked around it (when I used to use two loops per server) by using the multipath 
personality of md in the kernel.  It only supports one oopsie, ie: no failback, but it 
works in case an HBA, cable, controller, switch, etc. wigs.

The rpm from qlogic is still available as a tgz last I downloaded (7.00 or so)

Good news then!
I was actually thinking of following the instructions on
http://juerd.nl/site.plp/debianraid
that installed woody on a software raid1, using knoppix to start things 
up and then bootstrapping woody (whatever "bootstrapping" means)

I'll use a vmware virtual PC with 2 virtual scsi disks to try the Sarge

mime module in Apache

2004-11-02 Thread Curtis Vaughan

Using apache 1.3.31 on Debian 3.0 (kernel 2.6)
When I try to add the following line:
AddModule mod_mime.c
to /etc/apache/modules.conf I get an error trying to start up apache.
Running config test I get:
apachectl configtest
Syntax error on line 8 of /etc/apache/modules.conf:
Cannot add module via name 'mod_mime.c': not in list of loaded modules
What do I need to do?
Also, let me explain why I am adding this module. Perhaps I'm going 
about it wrong.
We are now hosting a Russian language web page. When you go to that 
page it won't start up in Russian no matter what you do on the client 
side.  I thought there was a problem with the "charset=" line in the 
html file. But then I was told that the problem is that you have to 
enable apache to use a foreign language as a possible default language.

One thing I did was add the following text in httpd.conf for this 
virtual host:


DocumentRoot /var/www/VirtualHost/
ServerName www.VirtualHost.com
DefaultLanguage ru
LanguagePriority ru
But I also noticed the docs on Content Negotiation at: 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/content-negotiation.html
which led me to the idea that I need to install a mime module. Anyhow, 
I'm quite confused at this point and hope somebody can give me some 
direction.

Re: no cdaudio with alsa but ok with oss

2004-11-02 Thread Lance Hoffmeyer

What sound do you currently have?  

Did you check OSS emulation in the kernel build?

CD players, mpg123, and ogg123 want to use /dev/dsp
which only appears if you have OSS emulation (to
the best of my knowledge).

Do you only have one soundcard?
Do you only have one CD player?

Maybe this helps maybe not, but I had a similar problem. Though I have
a "cd audio" slider apparently alsa has mistaken this for something
else since this does not change cd audio volume. I tried all of the
available ones though (and with my card it's a couple) and one of them
(I think it was 'center') actually changed cd volume. So maybe you
have the same problem too, in which case there is a bug.

Audio Recording Application

2004-11-02 Thread Udo Hoerhold

Hi,

I'm moving to Debian from Windows.  I've found a replacement for most of my 
apps, but there's one thing I haven't found a replacement for yet.

I use an app called Total Recorder to record audio that's coming into my sound 
cards input port.  TR can schedule recordings at regular times, and it can 
encode the audio in MP3 on the fly.

I'm sure this can be done in Linux, but I haven't found a good way to do it 
yet.  I don't have a problem with setting up cron jobs and running a command 
line app to do the recording.  I don't know which app would be able to do 
this, and how to tell it which port on the soundcard to use.

Can anyone suggest a good way to do this?

Thanks,

Udo

Re: Audio Recording Application

2004-11-02 Thread Andrew Perrin

I'm not sure about setting up the mixer from the command line, which is
how you'd tell it which port to listen to. But audacity is excellent for a
GUI recording app; and if you're looking for command line, try wavr and
then encoding it with lame.

Using more than one driver for a laser printer?

2004-11-02 Thread Adam Funk

I have a Brother HL1450 laser printer on my parallel port.  I used to
use the Postscript driver but had problems with some documents
overloading the printer's memory, so I switched to the hl1250 driver. 
Unfortunately LaTeX/dvips output doesn't look as good now---I assume
this is because it is being converted from DVI to PS and then to
Brother.

So I'd like to know if there is any easy way to switch between them,
just for local printing.  I'm considering adding a second printer
to /etc/printcap with the same device (/dev/lp0) and other
specifications but a different driver, so I can use the lpr -P option
as necessary.  Is this idea good, bad or ugly?  Should I use the same
spool directory (subdirectory of /var/spool/lpd/)?

(I have the following packages installed: magicfilter, cupsys,
cupsys-bsd, cupsys-client, cupsys-driver-gimpprint,
cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data, cupsys-pt.)

Thanks,
Adam

I never realized that was possible.  Just got used to thinking of

Have you tried CUPS and the CUPS web interface?  According to the
packages you've installed, it looks like you're using CUPS.  Launch a

I apply exactly what is said in /usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup 

First I have undone all the things required by the kernel 2.4.x :

- I disabled the module ide-scsi. ( then you must undo : 
  append "/dev/hdc=ide-scsi" in your /boot/grub/menu.lst as )
- in fstab I changed /dev/scd0 in /dev/hdc and /dev/scd1 in /dev/hdd
 
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATA gave me :

Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.

scsibus1:
1,0,0   100) 'SONY' 'DVD-ROM DDU1612 ' 'DYS1' Removable CD-ROM
1,1,0   101) 'LITE-ON ' 'LTR-52327S  ' 'QS09' Removable CD-ROM

then in /etc/default/cdrecord I have put:

# CDR_DEVICE = yamaha ( I commented this line )
CDR_DEVICE = cdrw
cdrw = ATA:1,1,0  ( for you is: cdrw = ATA:0,0,0 )

and  now I do:

cdrecord -dev=1,1,0 -speed=10  -v -eject image.iso 

and all works fine.

fstab smbmount user permissions

2004-11-02 Thread Lance Hoffmeyer

Hello,

Been using Samba instead on NFS to mount network drives since
I have been led to believe Samba is more secure than NFS.

I have a line setup in /etc/fstab

//211.11.11.11/Public /pub  smbfs   user,x,username=x,password=x  0  0

been everytime samba mounts, it mounts everything as root.  I want it to mount
everything with host permissions set.  How can I accomplish this?

Hi Stephan,

You're more likely to get an answer if you post some debugging output.  
Either start an application in debug mode, or use strace (or both) and post 
the results.  Otherwise, only someone who's had the same problem can help 
you, or else they can only guess.

Sarge gnome messed up

2004-11-02 Thread Steve Witt

I've installed sarge on an i386 machine and seem to have gnome all messed 
up. I'm using gdm as the login manager and select gnome as the session. 
When I log in, I get the gnome splash screen, it shows the first 2 icons 
in that screen, then shows no more, the splash screen goes away and I'm 
left with just a screen with the X background showing. Using the middle 
mouse button I can bring up a menu to run applications, but there is no 
gnome panel or anything else. The .xsession-errors file shows the 
following:

In the past in woody, gnome occasionally gets hosed and I've deleted all 
the .gnome* and other files and sort of started from scratch with my 
account's desktop configuration. Also on woody, when the window 
manager has gotton messed up, using the gnome control center 
to switch to another window manager and them back again has also 
restored things. I've tried deleting all the gnome and sawfish and gtk, 
etc. configuration files/directories in my user account and nothing is 
fixed.

Any suggestions for how to fix this??

Re: HardWare: wireless router for Debian ?

2004-11-02 Thread Cameron Hutchison

Once upon a time Jerome BENOIT said...
> 
> I am envisaging to buy a (cheap) wireless router (at least b compatible)
> which can run (Debian) Linux ?

I have two Linksys WRT54G's. They run Linux but by default you wouldn't
know since they are configured through web pages. I have since flashed
them with OpenWRT (openwrt.org) and now they're basically a command line
linux system, using standard networking, firewalling and traffic shaping
commands.

There is a large amount of activity around them (probably more so than
any other wireless router). There also seem to be a bunch of compatible
models from other manufacturers (well, OpenWRT runs of a bunch - check
out the forums on the website).

There are two models - WRT54G and WRT54GS. The 54GS has an extra 4MiB of
flash ram (8MiB instead of 4MiB on the 54G), and also has some speed
boost mode I think (where you need another linksys product at the other
end and it uses more spectrum to achieve 108MB/s). If you want to load
more software, the 54GS will be better, but I find the 54G suitable for
my needs. The 54G will be cheaper.

No wireless router is going to run Debian - it's simply too large for
such an environment. OpenWRT does have a command to install packages
from repositories on the net, though (so you can run "ipkg install
dropbear" to install dropbear [ a small ssh server ] )

Aliens ...

2004-11-02 Thread Emmanuel Merliot

Sorry for advance if this sounds like "deja vu" ...

That is, i am a java developer and i wanted to install "debian-friendly" the
new jdk150.
So, as i can't find a jdk1.5.0.diff.gz like file to do the job with alien
and the file.rpm i pick from Sun's site, i wrote it from the excellent
j2sdk1.4.2 one.
It worked well, thanks.

This was only the introduction ... :-)

So, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Question :

Where can we find / store / submit .diff.gz file to cleanly use rpm stuff
that we don't have (yet) on Debian sites ???

You know, some ask so stupid questions ... :-)))

Crudely:

in a directory:
$ ls -1 $dir | wc -l

for subdirectories too:
$ find $dir -type f | wc -l

That last one gives you only the count of files. Directories themselves

And second, but the most important, which device is your root partition?

Indeed, I even replied to it ([1] from my email at uni), but I want to be
able to execute code after I logout of either bash or X and since I run my
.xsession as a login shell I assumed that the best place for this would be
in ~/.bash_logout but for some reason when I logout of gnome
~/.bash_logout doesn't get run, it was this behaviour that I couldn't
explain and was asking about (I sorry if it was unclear in my last e-mail)

I also read this list as newsgroup linux.debian.user using thunderbird.
You can't "delete" a thread, because you're not the thread author.  You 
can mark the thread "Read" quickly with the "t" or "r" key.

So when I read this list, the first unread message header is highlighted 
by thunderbird when I hit "Get messages for Account."  Then "t" will 
mark the message or thread "read" if I don't want to read it.  The 
arrows keys let you navigate a thread before or after opening it as well.

Matt, the keyboard shortcuts are clearly noted in the pull-down menus. 
If you need more help, the pull-down menu "Help -> Thunderbird Help" 
takes you directly to Mozilla Thunderbird Help,

Re: raid

Your data is gone.
I don't know why you have a partition that overlaps your others, but you 
have just erased all of your data.

Only use empty partitions for raid.  Then you create a filesystem on 
that and then put data in the partition.

Sorry, I hope you didn't have anything important on that drive, and that 
you had backups.

If you enter bf24 at the boot: prompt it'll boot the installer using
kernel 2.4.18 with ext3 support as a module.

Re: raid

should I have my partitions set up?  Get rid of the overlapping

So what partition should I be looking at raiding. the Linux partition? 
What should I have put in my raidtab where the question marks are?  I had a

Problem getting RAID set mounted at boot time.

2004-11-02 Thread Brian Dockter

I have just installed (about 2-3 weeks ago) a fresh copy of Sarge using
the new network installer (RC2). My system disk is on a standard IDE
controller. My /home directory is a striped set on a SATA controller. The
problem I'm having is my /home directory is not getting mounted at boot
time. Once the system is up though, all I have to do to mount /home is:

/etc/init.d/mdadm-raid start
mount /home

I'm using the stock Debian package kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686 and I'm using
mdadm to manage the striped set. The IDs of the partitions on my SATA
disks are both set as type 0xFD (Linux raid autodetect). My mdadm.conf
file contains:

DEVICE partitions
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid0 num-devices=2
   UUID=1a6775db:3b133037:d4509894:8621c285
   devices=/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1

My /etc/fstab contains:

/dev/md0/home   xfs defaults0   1

Does anyone have any thoughts on why things don't work?

Thanks,


Brian

Re: number of files in directory?

You may want to count hidden files and directories as well with the
`-A' option. And I think the original poster may want to count the
total number of files in the directory and its subdirs. `-R' will help
you there, though you will count a bit too much.

`ls -1RA' will give you the list, but for every directory an extra
whiteline and a line with that directory name and a colon. The
following should ignore those lines and give the desired result -
unless you have real files ending in a colon...

ls -1RA | egrep -v "^$" | egrep -c -v ":$"

Come to think of it, you can also do this with `find':

find . -regex ".*" | wc -l

Find is actually a lot faster. I timed it on my system, as root in the
root dir:

mauritsvanrees:/# time ls -1RA | egrep -v "^$" | egrep -c -v ":$"
216348

real4m10.773s
user0m14.210s
sys 0m19.960s

mauritsvanrees:/# time find . -regex ".*" | wc -l
216334

real1m5.149s
user0m5.560s
sys 0m3.900s

So `find' is roughly four times as fast. The difference in the number
of files is probably because some files were removed during the
operation, though I'm not completely sure of that. And `find' also
counts the current directory, so it finds one more than the other
solution.
