> I was talking about > the possibilities to have a second disk failure before you > can rebuild the first array, say 24 hours. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. In one case a drive failed in the middle of the day. Within 30 minutes of the failure a new drive was installed. Two hours into the rebuild a second drive failed. In the second case, the drive failed during an overnight back. Again a new drive was installed within 30 minutes of discovering the failure (in the morning). The second drive failed around three hours into that rebuild. In both case the entire array was lost and took around seven hours to rebuild. Now, even I will admit that having four drives fail this close together probably doesn't happen everyday. Maybe we got a bad batch of IBM UltraStar drives. Maybe we're just unlucky. K

PSP on 9.3
by Steven Pasternak 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Hi! I have a friend who wants to download mp3's onto his Sony PSP from SuSE 9.3. Is that possible? He already has MP3 support added. Will it look at the PSP kind of like an RCA lyra (can see that something is there, but can't mount it), or will it see it like a mass storage device? Thanks! -Steven

Optimal RAID setup - opinions invited.
by Per Jessen 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

All, probably a little OT here, but I _am_ using SUSE Linux :-) I'm trying to work out the optimal (or near-optimal at least) RAID configuration of a 24-disk array. The array comes with two redundant RAID controllers each with six SCSI channels. These controllers allow all kinds of RAID0/1/5 configurations, but no RAID6. I want the array to be able to survive a two disk failure, so RAID6 would be the obvious choice, but ... So I'm sort of looking at choosing between - - using plain software RAID6 and ignoring the hardware RAID facilities of the array. - using the hardware controllers to build a combination of RAID0/1/5 that'll give me the two drive failure survivability. I've had a look around the web, but googling for "two drive failure RAID" almost always leads to someone talking about RAID6 ... So, opinions/suggestions? /Per Jessen, Zürich

SLES9 SCSI drives not visible in MS Virtual Server
by Xn Nooby 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Hi, I'm trying to help some people test SLES9/SUSE9 inside a MS Virtual Server virtual machine. Virtual Server can see the SCSI adapter, but not the SCSI drive. I was curious if anyone else had seen this. SLES9 will install using virtual IDE drives, but we were trying to see if SCSI drives were trully faster in the virtualized environment. Ubuntu also cannot see the SCSI drive, but Windows can - so I think it is a linux problem. SLES suggested installing from the "Update CD", which I'm in the process of locating. Will the "Update CD" use an alternate kernel that has better SCSI support? I saw on Google where some people were using the modprobe command with older versions of SUSE, in order to detect the adapter. This seemed weird because the adapter is detected (in YAST), but the SCSI drives do not seem to be found at all. This might be a MS problem (it's their Virtual Server software). Thanks for any help!

Firefox 1.5 and the Beagle plugin
by Jerry Feldman 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Whenever I start Firefox 1.5 in SuSE 10, I get a dialog box that it finds the beagle indexer in the extensions folder: file:///usr/lib/browser-extensions/firefox/beagle.xpi This contains a warning about malicious code, and asks whether to cancel or "Install Now", but it is never installed. it is just annoying and I could simply remove it, but I was wondering if anyone has actually installed it with FF 1.5. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

29 Mar '06

Hi, I'm using Suse10. I tried to mount my cdrecorder, but got the message: Root only can mount /dev/cdrecorder. In a session as superuser, with root priveleges I thought, I got the same message. Please give me a solution for that problem. André den Oudsten P.S. DVD and ZIP drive gat the same results
