It is NOT software RAID from the point of view of the linux kernel, and there is a separate hardware controller for the IDE RAID arrays [which can be disabled by a physical jumper] than there is for non-RAID IDE drives, but Peter feels that since it takes a device driver to make the RAID array look like a single drive, then it should be called software RAID. -- Chuck -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
Strange Behavior in ARP
I have a small home network, which connects to my ISP via a dial-up ppp session. While online, all is well, but as soon as the connection is closed, the ARP buffer fills up with incomplete entries for IP addresses which it was exposed to while online, and the traffic among my local hosts is disrupted while arp sends out "who has" messages for all of these foreign addresses. Would someone please tell me how I can either prevent this situation from arising, or a command which I can add to "ip-down.local" to automatically purge the arp buffer when the session is closed. -- Chuck -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
iptables strangeness
In building a script for my iptables commands, I find that if I enter the command: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o ppp+ -j MASQUERADE from a command prompt, then it executes correctly, but if I place the identical command into a file and invoke it as a script, then it fails with the message: iptables v1.2.6a: Couldn't load target `MASQUERADE':/lib/iptables/libipt_MASQUERADE.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. All of my other iptables commands (non of which reference MASQUERADE), execute equally well from either the command prompt or the script. Any thoughts? -- Chuck -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

ppp-compress-21
After upgrading to RH 8.0, I am once again getting messages that ppp-compress-21 can not be located. In prior releases, this was fixed by an alias statement to bsd_comp, but bsd_comp.o was not created during installation of either the 2.4.18-14 or 2.4.18-18.8.0 kernels. However, RH 8.0 aliases ppp to ppp_generic, and no longer requires aliases for ppp-compress-24, and ppp-compress-26, so things have obviously been restructured in this release. So, before I try to figure out how to create bsd_comp.o, will someone please tell me if there is something else I should be doing instead? -- Chuck -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

I am running a Promise Fasttrak100 IDE RAID controller. You need to get a Linux driver from the Promise web site -- the Red Hat supplied drivers will not work. In case you have a problem installing it, I found the tech support people at Promise to be very supportive. In addition, I will be happy to describe my experiences in greater detail, if it would be useful to you. As to Linux seeing the individual IDE drives, it will do so unless, and until, you null out the IDE ports which do not contain non-raid IDE drives. The instructions for doing so are included in the driver documentation. -- Chuck -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

That was pretty close to the mark at the time, but the times are still a changing. It turns out that I was, if not the first person to try to install psyche on a Promise RAID system, at least the first one to contact their tech support staff. At the time, they didn't yet have any RH 8.0 versions, and even the "Partial Open Source" wouldn't work for me, because the one part of the driver which they release only in binary was compiled with an incompatible library version. But after I explained the problem to them, they had a fix for me within 24 hours.
