[opensuse-factory] Backup button on external (USB-) harddisks
by Marcel Hilzinger 02 May '07

02 May '07

Hi all, is there anybody working on a driver? I had already several disks with such a button here, but no idea, where to start... They do not send keycodes (tried showkey and xev). -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Hitachi Travelstar 40GB SATA disk
by Volker Kuhlmann 01 May '07

01 May '07

Has anyone tried this disk under Linux: Model Family: Hitachi Travelstar 5K100 series Device Model: HTS541040G9SA00 Serial Number: MPBBL0X....... mine is: Firmware Version: MB2OC60D and can say whether it worked or didn't? SATA version only!! It is plain non-functional for me (10.2, 10.3a3). Doesn't work under Knoppix 4 either. Manufacturer's diagnostics are ok, as is disk under XP. #266845 Thanks, Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] recompiled stock kernel modules take many X more disk space than modules from installed rpm
by Felix Miata 01 May '07

What I did: 1-installed factory via ftp 2-zcat /proc/config.gz > .config 3-make menuconfig (add smbfs support and change kernel suffix) 4-make 5-make modules_install 6-INSTALL_PATH=/boot make install 7-fixed broken /boot/grub/menu.lst 8-rebooted new kernel /lib/modules/2.6.21-rc7-3-default# du -s . 57410 . /lib/modules/2.6.21-rc7-3-b7513-16# du -s . 529982 . /lib/modules/2.6.21-rc7-3-b7513-16/kernel/fs/reiserfs# ll -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 2783209 apr 30 01:16 (objdump -h shows 26 segments, 9 more than stock) /lib/modules/2.6.21-rc7-3-b7513-16/kernel/fs/smbfs# ll -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1081958 apr 30 01:16 smbfs.ko (stat claims 2126 blocks of 1024 each, double that required for 1081958 filesize; objdump -h shows 24 segments, 9 more than stock) On my 10.2 smbfs.ko is only size 75753. Why do my modules consume 9.2 times as much overall disk space as the stock modules?
