It is generally not a good idea to use LVM directly on top
of a disk. You always should use LVM on top of a
RAID-System. If you use xfs as your filesystem you can
even extend your partitions while they are mounted.

If you have only one disk, it basically doesn't matter (if
the disk is eliminated your data is as well).

If there are two or more disks and volume groups spanning two
or more of them, your data will be lost as soon as one of
the disks crashes (same thing as with RAID 0). The more
disks the higher the probability of a crash.

And concerning xfs: xfs_growfs is your friend.

Hm. That's not easy to answer. Depends a lot on how you
surf. I'd suggest to use calamaris to monitor Squids
cache performance. We use a 20 Gig disk on one of our
company LANs. And we get a cache hit rate of about 20%.
Keep in mind, though, that you need more RAM, if you
increase the diskspace.

Hm. It basically says how many requests were hits and how

When I'm not interested in hosts and content I'm just
looking for the hit-rate in "Incoming TCP-requests by
status". If the byte hit-ratio is above 20%, I'm happy.

As you can basically tune Squid in terms of request
hit-ratio or byte hit-ratio these are the values you want
to keep your eyes on.

My tests weren't that successful. You can convert their

that's why I had to mess with eDirectory, as well. I

It does. Either you choose lvm10 and enable lvm-support in
your 2.4.18 kernel or you choose lvm20 and enable
device-mapper support in your 2.4.21 (probably patched)
kernel.

In order to get you lvm-stuff to work fast -> use lvm10
and your 2.4.18 kernel.

1. It is important to be precise in this case. Always ask
   for an Exchange/Outlook replacement - not only for an
   Exchange replacement.
   
   It's the combination of Exchange and Outlook, which
   creates the "user experience" we have to find a
   substitute for - that's because Outlook is the only
   Exchange client, which allows to use Exchanges full
   function set.

2. Outlook uses proprietary MAPI (RPC) functions to access
   Exchange - no standard protocols. Thus it will not be
   possible to imitate Outlooks/Exchanges functions
   without proprietary software (all serious alternatives
   for Exchange or Outlook make use of a MAPI-provider
   piece of software).
   
There are serveral alternatives which cost money (Samsung
Contact, Oracle Collaboration Suite) and one for free
(BILL workgroup server), which allow you to use either the
full Outlook function set or a subset thereof.

The other alternatives aim to replace both Outlook and
Exchange. They try to rely on standard protocols for their
functions (IMAP, ical, WebDav, etc.). 

My problem is - I have no idea, what the functions of
Exchange/Outlook are in respect of calendaring. I cannot
see, what functions there could be, which are not
provided by evolution, korganizer, etc.

?! korganizer? evolution? As Outlook (in standalone-mode

messages around. With korganizer you can even publish your
schedule on a WebDav server for all others to see it and
to integrate it into their calendar (e. g. Mozilla).

Potato on ThinkPad 600E

[Toens Bueker]

Hi *,

I'm trying to get all the features of a ThinkPad 600E to
work with Debian potato.

What I have:

- all my PCMCIA-cards (xircom, fritz, adaptec) work
- sound (cs4232) works
- X (neomagic, 16bit) works

What I want:

- serial interface is detected but cannot be used
- irda-port?!
- internal modem
- sound does not load automatically
- I cannot have pci-support in the kernel when I want to
  use my PCMCIA-cards (I installed RH on another partition
  and their kernel uses pci-support _and_ PCMCIA works -
  at least with the notebook of my colleague)

I have nearly all the information you can get from the web
concerning ThinkPads. What I need is the address of
somebody who knows how the thing internally works -
especially as I have the impression that configurations
under windows (I have that on one partition) have some
effects on the linux-installation on my other partition.

What I really don't understand is, why the serial port
does not work.

When will the first ThinkPads with preinstalled Linux be
available from IBM?

2048 block MOs and 2.2.x

[Toens Bueker]

Hi *,

in the 2.1.x kernels I used my 640 MB MOs without
problems. 

With 2.2.x 

- I cannot mount those MOs any longer,

- when using 'fdisk' on them I get an error-message
(ll_rw_block: device 08:30: only 2048-char blocks
implemented (1024)) 

- and when trying to put a filesystem on them with
'fdisk -b 2048 /dev/sdd1' I get SCSI-errors and
after that the kernel panics and Linux is gone.

What the heck is this?

Did you read that posting to debian-user? The Promise
controller was diabled, because "it sucks". When I
installed Debian on RX100 the promise controller was
supported by the kernel - but you cannot configure the
RAID from Linux, and you cannot monitor it from Linux.

Do yourself a favor and don't waste time with this crap -
or use Linux software RAID.

imp/horde db_sql error strikes again

[Toens Bueker]

Hi *,

I just upgraded imp from 2.2.0 to 2.2.3 - now I get this
error:

Fatal error: DB_Sql is already a function or class in
/etc/horde/db_mysql.inc on line 12

It seems that DB_Sql is loaded a second time - but I can't
find where.

I found the error in the debian bug database - but it
seems to be closed already a few (horde) upstream-versions
earlier. 

Seems to be back again.

Any hints?

Thx.

wireless-tools vs. 2.4.x

[Toens Bueker]

Hi *,

does somebody know how to get the wireless tools (iwconfig
et al.) to work with 2.4.xer kernels?

The wavelan-drivers are great - but I can't configure the
card (eg. essid and wepkey) without the wireless-tools.

Any hints?

libxaw7 - undefined symbol?

after a recent dist-upgrade I get this error-message when

xbase-clients):

libxaw7 is version 4.0.2-11

Anyone else with these problems? Am I missing something?

Last woody upgrade = chaos?!

[Toens Bueker]

Hi *,

I use woody for quite a long time already - but during the update from 
libc6 2.1.97-1 to libc6 2.2 something went wrong.

Several packages, which seem to use networking functions are now broken:

- syslogd
- ping
- ftp
- emacs
- apt-get


Some of those try to open a socket in /var/run/.nscd_socket (which 
does not exist). 

Some just segfault (emacs).

>From former threads in this list I know, that there might be issues 
with libnss*.

I really need that machine up and running again urgently - what can I do?
Are there fixed packages maybe already somewhere in incoming?

Thx

Hmm. I checked the version of those packages on ftp.debian.org - they're all 
on the current version.

I would be really happy if it was that easy :-)

When was your last 'apt-get dist-upgrade'? I don't really know what's wrong
- and that worries me ...

That was very helpful - I had one lib more than you (libnss-ldap). And
obviously that one was the problem. I purged and re-installed it - and now 
it didn't reconfigure /etc/nsswitch.conf. Et voilá - we're back to business.

Thank you.

For XFS the LVM-Howto suggests:

mount -o nouuid,ro /dev/ops/dbbackup /mnt/ops/dbbackup

Have you tried that - just in case?

Does that imply, that lvm snapshots should work with 2.6.0
kernels? 

When I try the following (ok its xfs but ...)

xfs_freeze -f /home
lvcreate --size 250m -s -n snap1 /dev/vg00/home_lv 
xfs_freeze -u /home

I get this error:

device-mapper: error adding target to table
  device-mapper ioctl cmd 9 failed: Invalid argument
  Couldn't load device 'vg00-snap1'.
  Problem reactivating origin home_lv
  
?! 

With a patched Debian kernel that worked ok with 2.4.22 (IIRC).

Definetly yes. Use dh-make-perl and let it do it for you.

The 6013P8 includes an Adaptec Ultra 320 scsi raid-controller.
You need the dpt_i2o driver to access it.

I usually use the "normal" woody boot media with bf2.4 and
use a preload-floppy for modules from
http://people.debian.org/~blade/install/preload/ during
the installation.

Eduard Bloch has done other boot media - including xfs- and
lvm-patches.

Maybe http://www.boxedpenguin.com/ is another interesting

I would be interested in your docs, as well.

E-Mail (and especially with MTAs like postfix and qmail) is IO-bound. You need
more disks to spread the load on more spindles.
