OK, The name box is the one you get to by: Kmail / settings / configure / network / sending / modify / general. that's not supposed to be your name, that's >the name of your outgoing connection.

(like only 'davidtief', and not >'davidtief(a)abac.com'). You need to put the whole thing in there I do have the whole thing. I found some stuff in Yast, but it looks like it is ok - but I don't know what I 'm doing, apparently. I didn't mess with any of those settings. I attempted to sign up for the Suse online support, but that doesn't want to work either. I filled out the form, but didn't get an email with a password. Used a link on the web page to contact them. A few days later I get a reply, saying go try again. I get the same error that my user name is still in use. Send a reply to let them know, and still no reply. I paid real money to get support, and this is not what I call support. I'll try another user name and see what happens. Thank you, Dave Dave Tief. N1WWY, Addie Tief.

[9.0] & sensors & epox 8rda+ (nforce2)
by Adolph & Sharon Weidanz 01 May '04

01 May '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all... I'm having a problem, and google has not been much help. I really need to run sensors on my epox 8RDA+ mb running SUSE 9.0. I tried running sensors-detect. It tells me that I need to run the i2c-nforce2 module. But, it can't seem to find it. I looked on the lm_sensor site, and from the problem database, if I understood it correctly, they said I had to run the SuSE version.. Any help would be appreciated... I need to get my folding up and running... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAkYG7lC+PSm9+eB0RApSvAJ0eg8os1e2/6o15dOBLI/qaN0TJcQCgjqjL DJSlTi1Df9LVXbGQXPqgNmQ= =M8LM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

RE: Fw: [SLE] ReiserFS problem?
by McAllister, Andrew 01 May '04

My understanding of ReiserFS is that by DEFAULT only the metadata is journaled. See http://www.namesys.com/v4/v4.html#crashes_handl. That is to say, when a file is written, the data that goes into the file is NOT journaled, but the data about the file IS journaled. Thus, when your power goes out, the file system should be OK (or easily fixed), but the files themselves may contain corrupt data. Seems counter intuitive, but the goal of Reiserfs is limit the time it takes to fsck after a crash. To protect data you need to protect the machine from adverse events. I believe if you want to journal data and metadata, then you'll have to modify the ReiserFS default behavior (I presume there is a man page on how to do it, but I haven't looked). Ext3 has similar configurations though I don't know the default behavior of ext3 (rtm). ReiserFS is ideal for something like an Oracle database. Where the files are fixed size and the application itself journals its own data. Or possibly a system with a HUGE number of files like a news server. Where the contents of the file aren't as important as the system not taking 4 days to come back up after a crash. In all honesty though, you need a UPS. No matter what file system you have power outages will inevitably cause some sort of data corruption.
