Failed ReiserFS
by Rikard Johnels 04 May '05

04 May '05

Hi all! I have a client that have lost two 30 gig disks with a huge number of files he uses in a project. The server (Linux SuSE 9.1) suddenly hickuped, and when it came back there was files on the discs but no NFS. ('df showed about 75% usage of the discs) After restart of NFS a 'df' shows total use 1% and the files are gone By some reason (so far unknown) the disk is suddenly empty. They are created under Linux and uses ReiserFS, so he thought them to be "safe". (No he didn't back them up regardles of warnings from me) I did a 'dd if=/dev/hdc of=image.hdc and if i look at that file i can see all the data. I can find all filenames but the fat seems empty. Is there a safe way to try to restore the lost files? Parttitiontable is OK. ReiserFS in it self didn't complain about anything, and SMART didn't register any failing disks. Where shall i start to look? -- /Rikard --------------------------------------------------------------- Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh(a)norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com/users/rikjoh Mob : +46 735 05 51 01 PGP : 0x461CEE56 ---------------------------------------------------------------

Wacom Graphire 2 (USB) on SuSE9.1?
by Frits Wüthrich 04 May '05

04 May '05

I can't get my graphical tablet to work on my new SuSE. On SuSE8.1 it was useable as an USB wheel mouse, but on 9.1 there is no movement visible of the cursor when I choose one of the USB mice. How can I fix this? -- Frits Wüthrich

POP3 Server start?
by Keith 03 May '05

03 May '05

I installed the imap RPM that comes with SUSE 9.1 Pro. How do I setup & start the pop3 server so people can log in and download their mail? I have gone through YAST and SYSV Level editor and I can't find anything. I used to use dovecot on FC3 so that is my reference point for running a mail server on Linux.

Slow partition: how to check?
by Pieter Hulshoff 11 Apr '05

11 Apr '05

Hello all, hdparm tells me that one of my partitions is really slow. While hda3 for instance gives me about 40-50 MB/s, hda4 only gives 4-8 MB/s. hda4 is part of a RAID partition together with hdc4. While hdc4 also gives about 40-50 MB/s, hda4 appears to be very slow. Does anyone know what might cause this, and how I might check or correct what is wrong? Regards, Pieter Hulshoff

SLES9: how to recognize SCSI LUNs >= 8?
by Michael Behrens 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

Hi all, does anybody know how i can make the SLES9 to recognize SCSI LUNs >= 8? I have set up a SLES9 (for IA64 architecture) on a DELL 1850 hardware, which has to be connected to a HP EVA3000 SAN via two Qlogic HBAs ql2342. The shipped drivers for the Qlogic HBAs work fine, I'm just not able to recognize virtual disks presented with LUNs >= 8, which I think is due to the module scsi_mod. I tried the parameters "max_luns=128" and "max_reported_luns=128" for module "scsi_mod" both in /etc/modprobe.conf.local and in /boot/grub/menu.lst, but still only LUNs < 8 are recognized by the driver. The qla2*-Modules don't seem to have any options regarding # of LUNs. The HBA's BIOS is configured to see 128 LUNs. It is a fresh installation with all the latest updates from Suse as of 20.1.2005. /proc/cmdline contains: root=/dev/sda6 max_luns=128 max_report_luns=128 vga=0x317 selinux=0 console=tty0 resume=/dev/sda2 elevator=cfq splash=silent -- Regards Michael

ULB GNOME 2.8.0.2
by James Ogley 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Available today: ULB GNOME 2.8.0.2 This is a minor revision, not a full desktop upgrade. It includes netapplet, the seriously cool network switcher, as well as updated gnome-vfs2 and libgnome packages to use Firefox as the default browser, cos I've just fallen in love with it over the last few months - so it now depends upon SuSE's MozillaFirefox package (from the mozilla apt component) (Note: built for SuSE 9.1) -- James Ogley james(a)usr-local-bin.org GNOME for SuSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms

tkdesk question
by Tim Hanson 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

Is there a way I can get to those who put the packages together? A couple of years ago, when I moved from one SuSE distribution to the next, TkDesk broke on an unfound lib file. For those who don't know about it, TkDesk is a little gem. It has few of the hundreds of bloaty features of Nautilus or Konqueror, but once a person disables the application launcher he is left with an incredibly useful little program. It's a little "Unixey" for some people, but for day-in, day-out file management nothing is faster. There is also a little editor for script touch-ups. It's a little difficult for first time users to try, however, when invoking the program brings up only an error message about a lost lib file. Fixing it requires putting the path to the file in /etc/ld.so.conf, which is not something someone new to SuSE Linux would know about. Attending to it is something those who put these things together should have done a couple of years ago. I'm on the verge of dusting off my programming skills and contributing to the project, but it sure would be nice if SuSE users could actually try it out without getting under the hood right away.
