How do I tell if the NFS server is using UDP or either TCP, and how do I tell it to use or or the other? -- ======================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ======================================================== "The day I go to work for Microsoft, hell will freeze over so solid the brimstone will go superconductive." -Eric Raymond ========================================================

RE: [SLE] NFS: UDP or TCP?

It defaults to TCP -- when TCP is unavailable I get a message (to /var/log/messages, and on the console after doing /etc/init.d/nfsxxxxx start) that says "TCP unavilable - falling back to UDP". Not sure where you force it to use one or the other, though. But I'd bet it's somewhere in the docs at http://nfs.sourceforge.net/ - Ian -----Original Message----- From: Glenn Holmer [mailto:gholmer@ameritech.net] Sent: Fri 9/30/2005 8:02 AM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [SLE] NFS: UDP or TCP?

install on a JS20
by Torsten 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Howdy, does anybody ever performed a successful installation on an IBM JS20 blade? I started fine with a network installation by booting the inst64 images (from suseboot directory). But later when configuring the partitions the installation hangs. I can't create any new partitions. And the partitioner itself doesn't create a valid partitioning. Any ideas? Or isn't JS20 supported as a kind of pSeries? Thanks in advance, Torsten

Apache2 + bandwidth management
by Hans du Plooy 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Hi all, I setup a web server for hosting with SLES9 and Apache2. All works well, and we have a couple of sites on it already, but as the number of sites increase, so does the need to be able to throttle or cut off certain sites. I need to do the following: 1. Assign a quota to a site, say 300mb per month or something like that 2. When a site reaches thte quota, disable the site, maybe redirect to a page stating the site is over quota or something like that. 3. Be able to offer different amounts of bandwidth to a site, say 64kbits/s to one site and say 1mbit to another. It seems the essential module, mod_throttle, has not been ported to Apache2 yet. Can anyone point me to the appropriate documentation to achieve this? Thanks Hans

Hi, Am trying to install 9.3 on an HP dv1000 laptop. During install I do get the opportunity to set up X but the display issues all fail. After installation I cannot even get sax2 to run. Does anyone have any suggestions ( or even better a working xorg.conf file for that machine ? ) TIA Francesco

Re: [SLE] Problem with rpm database - Solved

That way you can put them back if they are not your problem. I tried that one too :-) Turns out there were two problems with my machine - one that I fixed with my initial rpm --rebuilddb (that I did before I posted the problem) and the second was solved in another thread. Turns out that if you remove suse-projects from the apt repository list, it all starts working again. Thanks for your suggestions guys. C.

I still have 1.1.3 up and all the links point to that version. I downloaded the tar.gz for 1.1.5 and ran the setup routine as root. How do I fix the links so that I bring up 1.1.5? -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

Bash script: problem in using ftp -n $server <<End-Of-Session in a while loop
by Gaël Lams 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Hi all, I'm trying to write a script that would connect via FTP to a list of hosts and download two files. I've the script working for one host and I'm trying to make it work with an array of IP. You will find the script below. When it runs it gives me a "syntax error: unexpected end of file" message for the last line (exit 0) If I comment all the FTP' stuff, it works (if we can say :-( and in the while loop I can echo all the variables (like element_count ....) but uncommenting the ftp lines breaks it. I've been googling without any success. I'm wondering whether it's possible to establish an FTP session in a loop or whether it should another way (which one) to do it? Thanks Gaël #!/bin/bash # here is my script declare -a IP # All subsequent commands in this script will treat # the variable "IP" as an array. # List of all the APC's IP IP[0]="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" # parameters common to all the APC UPS Directory="/" User="xxx" Password="xxx" element_count=${#IP[@]} # Special syntax to extract number of elements in array. index=0 set -x # turn tracing on while [ "$index" -lt "$element_count" ] do ftp -n ${IP[$index]} <<End-Of-Session # -n option disables auto-logon user "$User" "$Password" cd $Directory get event.txt get data.txt bye End-Of-Session let "index = $index + 1" done set +x #turn tracing off exit 0
