05 May '01

Ok, I have upgraded to 7.1 and KDE 2. I want to use an irc cleint, and on channels in EFnet. I used to have a few servers that didnt ask for ident, but they seem to be disappearing. How do I get this to work in 7.1? In 6.3 ident was there but I couldnt get it to work. I don't see in in 7.1.

Why ReiserFS is consistently crashing on RAID-0?
by Alex Daniloff 05 May '01

05 May '01

Hello SuSE folkz, Did somebody experienced Reiser FS crashes on RAID-0? I've got ASUS A7V133 mobo with onboard Promise FastTrack100 RAID 0 controller. I would advice anybody to purchase this shity controller. I created software RAID 0 array as a /dev/md0 with the chunk size of 32 and formated it as a ReiserFS partition. On the second day after the proper reboot I've noticed that kernel is reporting about missing nodes and files that exist but can't be stat-ed. I unmounted this RAID0 partition and ran reiserfsck which reported some inconsistances on the /dev/md0. Then I ran reiserfsck --rebuild-tree. After I mounted RAID 0 partition back I've noticed that some files are gone. I repeated mkraid /dev/md0 formated it again as a Reiser FS partition and reinstalled the system. Three days later I've got exactly the same results after the proper system reboot. Could somebody tell me please if Reiser FS is capable of working with RAID 0 at all. Are there any particular details I'm now aware of? What is the proper chunk size for RAID 0 with Reiser FS - 32, 16 or 8? Thank you in advance for any help or information. Regards.

FW: Diamond Viper II w/ SuSE 6.4
by Steve and Cassandra Jones 05 May '01

05 May '01

Help! I had a hard drive crap out on me, so I've re-installed SuSE Linux 6.4. Everything is fine, except I'm stuck with with a screen resolution of 640x480 since sax doesn't list the Viper II as an option for a video card. The card is has 32MB and I'd prefer to run at 1024x768 (min). I know I had my resolution set to at least that much with the prior config, but I can't recall how to get my video card properly installed (required a call to tech support last time, and it was done w/n a couple minutes). >From memory, there is a Viper 330, PCI, V550, V770, and a couple others as options, just no Viper II. Any ideas? -Steve
