All that data is backed up - right? as mentioned in another mail, the device mapper made kept sdc1 busy. in /etc/blkid.tab I found these lines: <device DEVNO="0x0802" TIME="1198055523" UUID="212b4536-513f-4177-8d91-afc2b26be284" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/sda2</device> <device DEVNO="0x0811" TIME="1198055523" UUID="83db89c9-88a7-4c09-8026-01a9bd71c757" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/sdb1</device> <device DEVNO="0x0812" TIME="1198055523" UUID="60a371a6-6e24-4a3d-bfe9-d3491f08cd83" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/sdb2</device> <device DEVNO="0x0813" TIME="1198055523" UUID="0d8ec0ca-9670-4e87-a37e-aac3914a7651" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/sdb3</device> <device DEVNO="0x0815" TIME="1198055523" UUID="cf71aa66-2a51-4596-967b-bc12faec5438" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/sdb5</device> <device DEVNO="0x0821" TIME="1198055523" UUID="51bba5c7-acda-4019-94d8-691103f30616" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/sdc1</device> <device DEVNO="0xfd03" TIME="1199870056" UUID="4e4b8361-0c9f-47c5-ac47-34398148d78e" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/dm-3</device> The UUID for /dev/sdc1 and /dev/dm-3 are the same, so I remove the last line and rebooted the system. My hope was that the /dev/mapper/... stuff for the sdc disk will disappear, but that was not the case, the removed line appeare again in the /etc/blkid.tab file, /dev/sdc1 still busy, and I only was able to mount /dev/mapper/.... I wonder why this is not happen to the /dev/sdb* partitions. I haven't configure anything related to that intentionally. The sdb and sdc are two disks with each 1.7 TB, it is just that sdb is divided into a lot partitions where sdc is just one large partition. I have no idea why it should but maybe it depends somehow on the size of the partition? I have the disks connected via SCSI to another 10.2 box, there does the /etc/blkid.tab file not exist, and I can just mount /dev/sdc1 there. dm_mod module is loaded on both systems. also a rpm -qf /etc/blkid.tab says file /etc/blkid.tab is not owned by any package. So I am still wondering, why this happens to /dev/sdc but not to /dev/sdb, any idea? cheers Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Prstat equivalent
by Kain, Becki (B.) 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hello: I tried searching at en.opensuse.org but "search is disabled, come back later". I'm looking for the equivalent of prstat, or something that will break down the threads that are part of a process to see why a process is pegging a cpu. Strace -p <pid> attatches my process, gives me a "read" and then just sits there. I don't think that will work if the process is in a race condition, which is what I'm trying to solve. Ideas please?

[opensuse] KMail vs. Thunderbird in handling lots of e-mails
by Sergey Mkrtchyan 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hi List, I experience difficulties with Thunderbird, I have over 5000 emails now (lots of attachments, etc.) and I also use this list without deleting messages every day :). The things is that now when I try to open an e-mail in Thunderbird with an attachment, it will go gray(I believe this is one of the compiz's fancy stuff) and I have to kill TB from konsole because it freezes. Do you know if large number of e-mails is the cause of that, and if KMail is handling that better? I tried to switch to KMail earlier, but with lots of accounts I'm using it was pain in the butt. Now if KMail will work better with this I may consider trying to switch again.

[opensuse] unable to mount partition
by Sebastian Reitenbach 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hi, I am unable to mount a partition, whenever I try I get the following error message: mount /export mount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /export busy lsof /export does not list anything, /dev/sdc1 is not listed in /etc/mtab nor in /proc/mounts, so I wonder how the system gets this idea? There is also nothing showing up in messages or dmesg. I also disabled the nfsserver and rebooted the system, but with the same effect, unable to mount. When I try to fsck the filesystem, I get the followign error: fsck.ext3 /dev/sdc1 e2fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) fsck.ext3: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdc1 Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? I'm on opensuse 10.3, x86_64. Any idea whats going on here? cheers Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] lost splash screen
by jdd 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

After a lot of tracking about having multiboot with vista, Xp, openSUSE 10.3 and USB :-))) I had lot of problems, now solved :-) but still one is not solved: I have no more the green screen during boot/shut down. my grub config is done by YaST, have the splash=silent and the message is 386Ko I can live without this, but my machine is a demo one and the green screen is smartier :-)) what makes me upset is that I have this screen if I load from the dvd, but don't know how to keep it back on usual boot thanks to your help :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] [OT] SCALE (So Cal Local)
by Sloan 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hello list, Sorry for the OT post, but I wanted to know, are any of you going to SCALE this year? I'm thinking of going. It's not much compared to linuxworld, but it is just down the road... It might be nice to see evidence that some of you exist in the real world, that all this list traffic isn't just being generated by a fiendishly clever turing machine or something.
