Bad Sectors and Linux Software RAID
by Oliver Schulze L. 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

Hi, I'm writing because I have a RAID1 setup with 2 ATA disks. The 2nd disk has a few bad sectors, and it was kicked out of the array. My question is: is it posible to use a disk/partition with bad sectors with Linux Software RAID? Is there a way to mark those sectors as bad, re-partition the drive, add the partition into the RAID and make Linux Raid detect and not use those bad sectors? My other solution si to low-level format the drive and try to use it again. Many thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. <oliver(a)samera.com.py>

Palm Pilot Sync via USB
by Robert Moskowitz 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Anyone read http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=462523&rl=1 ? It is recent and tells you to forget the pilot-link from your distro and rebuild it with direct USB support: /configure --enable-libusb You are support to blacklist "visor" so pilot can control the usb device. Also newer code.

Routing problem
by Marc Breslow 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Hi, I'm building a firewall/router on Centos. I'm using Shorewall but have currently stopped and cleared the firewall rules to isolate the routing problem. My firewall box has 5 interfaces in it but currently only two are involved in the problem. eth1: inet addr:192.168.1.224 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 eth3: inet addr:192.168.202.1 Bcast:192.168.202.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 eth1 is connected to a switch that is connected to a router. The router is 192.168.1.1 and is the internet gateway. eth3 is connected to a different switch. I have another Centos box that is connected to the switch shared with eth3. It's interface is: eth3: inet addr:192.168.202.10 Bcast:192.168.202.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 I want to provide internet connectivity to this 2nd machine routed through the firewall. Currently, I can reach two machines on the 192.168.1.0/24 network (.5 and .3) but I can't reach the router (.1) or anything outside. I'll paste the routing tables from both machines below. Thanks in advance for your help. ---Marc Firewall routing tables: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.254 U 0 0 0 eth4 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.202.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth3 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth4 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.202.10 routing table: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.202.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 10.1.16.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.240.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.202.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

broken behavior with `look`
by Mike Hunter 19 Jul '06

Hey everybody, I'm having a strange problem with a hosted CentOS environment. I like to use `look` to correct my spelling. But it isn't willing to help me with the word "manager": #>look man | wc -l 1001 #>look mana | wc -l 0 #>grep "^mana" /usr/share/dict/words | wc -l 54 #>md5sum `which look` 05ef59ae2f9183e525ec531dcb07ee8b /usr/bin/look #>cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.3 (Final) #>uname -a Linux blahblah.com 2.6.8-022stab078.9-entnosplit #1 SMP Thu Jun 8 12:46:44 MSD 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Can anybody confirm these results? Any suggestions for a fix? I found this bug: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=153276 Which refers to this closed bug: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=147949 If I'm reading the bug history right, it got fixed by updating the words file, but now it seems broken again and I don't see any activity. #>rpm -qf /usr/bin/look util-linux-2.12a-16.EL4.16 #>rpm -qf /usr/share/dict/words words-3.0-3 Thanks!

Freenx full screen mode problem fixed in 0.5.x?
by Steve Bergman 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

I sent this last week and never got a response. I take it, then, that no one has come up with a better workaround than ctrl-alt-f? Thanks, Steve Bergman ========= In early June, there was an update from freenx 0.4.x to 0.5.x in centosplus. It broke full screen mode for Linux clients. I am aware of the ctrl-alt-f workaround. But I have quite a few users at branch offices who depend on NX and with employee turnover and all, it has been a source of confusion for us. Has anyone come up with a fix so that fullscreen works without crtl-alt-f? I've searched the freenx/knx list and have found no mention of anyone there having problems. Just the centosplus version. I prefer to continue using the CentOS-provided package, though. ==========
