Mounting Reiserfs partition
by Vladimir Niksic 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

I just bought a new hard disk, made partitions with fdisk, and formatted it using mkreiserfs. I edited /etc/fstab for that partition: /dev/hdb1 /data reiserfs defaults,user 0 0 I can mount it just fine, but I can't write a single byte to the partition as a user. I'm obviously missing something here, but I don't know what. What else do I have to add to this line so I can write to the partition as user. Thanks in advance.

That helped. Now it's not completely missing. Now it's only broken. There seems to be a version conflict with the Berkeley DB. /var/log/apache2/error_log says: "(20014)Error string not specified yet: Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesyste :\nDB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch" I'm not sure if I should just start over, or try to fix it. I don't (didn't) have that much in the SVN DB. I just set it up last week. -- Regards, Steven

SATAII 4 times slower than SATA150?
by Claus Olesen 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

In my SuSE 9.3 box I have a - Hitachi T7K250 SATAII harddrive - Samsung SP1614C SATA150 harddrive - ASUS A7N8X motherboard (with Silicon Image 3112A bios version 4.2.27) The problem is that the Hitachi drive is 4 times slower to write to than the Samsung drive - leaving the Hitachi drive unusable for capture of video from my camcorder because of too many dropped frames. Anyone know of a fix for this? Or another good place to post the problem? Thank you very much in advance.

subversion server on 9.3?
by Steven T. Hatton 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

I just upgraded the server that was serving out subversion over http, and now apache2 doesn't seem to know my configuration exists. I also don't see any indication that SuSEconfig knows about apache2. That is, when I run SuSEconfig --module apache2 as described in /usr/share/doc/packages/subversion/README.SuSE I get this: SuSEconfig --module apache2 Starting SuSEconfig, the SuSE Configuration Tool... Running module apache2 only Reading /etc/sysconfig and updating the system... Module apache2 does not exist Finished. Any ideas? -- Regards, Steven

No hostname, domainname, /etc/resolv.conf, or default route after WiFi connection
by ken 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

After a wireless internet session using DHCP, my 9.3 Pro system is left without hostname, domainname, /etc/resolv.conf, or default route. I would think that the next time I boot up that at least the previous (default) hostname and domainname would be configured. Also (separate issue), where is the default route configured for a device. I would have thought that there would be a variable in the ifcfg-* for it, but no. -- A lot of us are working harder than we want, at things we don't like to do.

RE: [SLE] moving swap partition from sys drive to RAID drive
by James D. Parra 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

>... /data takes up all >space on the sdb drive. So you're already using the whole thing. Do you actually have anything on it, or is it just an empty partition? Yes, there is 155G of important data on the drive. That is why I sent along the fstab and YAST partition output so all could see what I was up against. I could make a swapfile on the RAID and use swapon, however I was hoping there was a "friendly" way to create a new swap partition on or within a preexisting partition. Thank you again for your help. ~James
